Im tempted to get a short stubby antenna replacement but will probably leave it as it is tbh. Yes I wrapped the rear reflectors. It did not look right clear lights and red reflectors.

My turn?

So after seeing your thread....and looking at the great pics you posted, I'm seriously consideering going this route. Congratulations on the coolest Storm Trooper ever.

After 2 weeks of daily driving my front was so pitted that it didn't make sense to add the clear bra at that point (oh how I wish I could have a do-over on that expensive mistake). Now I am in need of a new paint job all around and am curious as to how you like the wrap now after having been with it for a few weeks. What do you think?

I've not seen other colors, but does anyone have any thoughts on how good or bad colored vinyl looks? I was washing my baby this weekend and admiring the reflection of the trees & clouds on the hood....will vinyl look...well, like vinyl?....or can you not tell the difference?

if it's done right it can look pretty good. Another alternative is using tinted and/or glossy transparent vinyl that will enhance and accentuate your own color.

If the film is applied correctly you won't even know it's there except upon close inspection.

They did a phenomenal job...anyone have any idea what the cost of just a vinyl wrap like this costs? I'm impressed...

You can only observe a good job in the flesh which this is. There have been 2 small areas where it has lifted off bodywork but I have applied some special glue and not had a problem since. I am sure other people have had similiar very small issue. With this kind of work pay extra so somene spends time doing it well.
