for the price of the two wrap jobs, you could have had one decent paint job that wont crack and peel in a few months. jm $0.02

but quality work and thanks for posting the results, it does not look bad at all, considering it is a plastic wrapped lexus.

It doesn't look that bad to be honest. It makes all the lights, the grille, and the door handles stand out more.

Do you live at 83 Prairie Dog Dr. in Henderson?

If so, that's nuts! That was our family home from 1988 till 1995.

(sorry for the randomness)

Wow! What a small world! Indeed that's the address.
Though I was there to show the car to a friend who bought this place and was preparing to rent it out. I live nearby in Green Valley.
