Interesting step. If you decide to keep it, I'd recommend smoking a few of the chrome pieces as well as tinting the windows to make it flow more. Way to take a step in a direction most ES owners never will embark on though

It looks like your installer did a good job.

Just IMO, the matte black isn't suited for a stock ES350. Maybe one that's been modded or certainly a smaller more sporty car.

While its not a dumb as painting the car in a matte color, its still a complete waste of money. The car looks like it was in the process of being re-painted and the owner ran out of money in the primer stage. Bottom line, it looks horrible. The good news is that when you unwrap it, the paint will be nearly perfect.

It looks like it is going to the demolition derby at the county fair. Mercedes Benz has a matte finish white metallic on the S series. Matte finish just doesnot look right.
