Thanks Bob. And I know. You should've seen the look on my face when they remove the lip to wrap it!
I can tell you it needed a fair bit of sanding down before they applied the wrap!

He came by last night and saw it in the flesh after the mods.

Thanks brother. Can't wait to get those side air intake covers to complete the look.

I cannot recommend Rottec enough! Outstanding quality and service. Ray has been a great guy to deal with.

The mirrors are zero modification item, you simply swap out the cores and re-fix. The roof spoiler is also a zero modification item if your car does not have the rear wiper option. If you have that option, then you need to either shorten the wiper, which is what I did, or buy and install a shorter wiper, which is what I will be doing.

My friend, your car is even more gorgeous now. The meteor gray and CF is a match made in heaven. That CF wrap is really great looking.

that is ****ing badass!
best thing is that it's all understated since the colour contrast is not that striking, which adds to the charm imho

enjoy her!

Thanks bro. I was very worried it might come out flashy to the point that I was ready to remove the CF parts if it did.
Thankfully, you're right. It come out just the right side of understated.

Thanks bro. I'm expecting it will not last long enough to come off by itself.
Scrape scrape scrape!

If it's the wrap you don't like, I will likely order a CF rear wing for it from Rottec.
If it's the CF look, it looks much better in the flesh.

I agree about the lip. It cost me $180 to wrap it. I already scraped it a bit.
Imagine if I had shelled out $2K on it!

Thanks brother. The wrap on the rear wing was a a low cost mod that I installed simply to check out the overall look.
I agree with you. I ended up liking the CF look, but not the wrap.
I will be buying the real CF deal soon.
Think of it as a transition stage
