You beat me to the punch, I was gonna do the front wrap, honestly it looks good but I think you should have kept either the black gloss look or carbon fiber on the mid bumper. just my opinion.
Haha...i was gonna keep it all the same...i did do a dry run...like just temporarily installed the wrap "just" to see everything would look together....it felt like there wasn't a bold line that seperated everything...like it all kinda mixed in together that's the only reason why i didn't do it that way. But def don't get me wrong it took me a week to finally make a decision.
I actually removed the whole bumper and sent it to the body shop just so they could repair the holes and paint over it. So it is not a wrap and your exactly right i ordered obsidian black sensors to go with it.

Believe it or not...there is this place right by my house that i would DEF recommend to anyone called "big splash graphics" in freehold nj and they only charged me 25$ a piece...so basically everything came out to 75$ for everything which is a good deal in my book.

I had to order them from "think design" from japan and it was HARD trying to finally contact someone from there that spoke somewhat english.
Also here's an updated pic today with a little iphone features. Thanks again everyone for all the positive feedback!!!!
I'm not clear on one thing, is the center bumper painted black or just a black glossy wrap? I was thinking of doing a wrap and using bondo to cover the license plate holes under. I'm assuming you ordered obsidian black sensors because the wrap interferes when covered?
haha thanks!!!! I actually removed the whole bumper and sent it to the body shop where they repaired the holes and painted the center piece obsidian black. I also ordered the obsidian sensors to go with it too!
If you wrap the pieces in carbon fiber it'll look just as good...i was debating between carbon fiber or flat black and i feel like flat black would look a lot better with starfire white.

Wow did'n't know you took the bumper off, bought to get my mid bumper wrapped so I'm hoping he won't need to take my bumper off.
I love it! Looks very sharp! The carbon is done very subtle and tastefully
thank you thank you!!!! you are DEF a big inspiration to me!!! im trying to save up for the cv7's and lowering!!! but priorities comes first....gotta wait till after the wedding and thanks again everyone for all the positive feedback!! more to come!
