Ghicks99... any more pics? Personally I prefer the car without the CF trunk... all one color is a lot better to me. The color is insane, in both a good and bad way... too loud for a just a wrap... it's got to be showcar-modded with lots other goodies to carry that brightness. Let's see some more pics!
None yet, I was waiting to finish the air suspension before posting legit pics. It's taking a bit to get done between work, school, and needing unexpected parts. Yeah, I initially was gonna do a subdued color but it's honestly not as wild as I thought it would be once I lived with it a little. The trunk is newly put on, not sure if I'll wrap it or not. Plus I'm gonna do the CF skirts, lip, and maybe rear lower fascia
LOL...we went a little off topic here Thanks to those who posted pics. they confirmed what I thought. Badges need to go, especially on my AWD GS. I MAY leave the F sport badge on the left, but the paragraph of badges on the right need to go.
How much was material cost to wrap your own and where did you find a CF trunk for a GS350? I personally like that yellow color. I considered getting my WRX wrapped in a sort of flat mustard yellow color but sold it before I got around to it.
Not commenting on your car Ghicks (you have it how you like it) but I've always thought the ultimate is paint-matched carbon fiber. You get the weight savings of CF, YOU know it's CF, but you got it painted to match the car so it's not as showy. Sort of like how the trunk and hood on an S2000 is aluminum but painted to match the rest of the car. Isn't a McClaren mostly CF?
How long did it take to do the wrap? Do you have to use a scalpel for all the edges? That looks like some good quality work you did there. I have been contemplating wrapping some parts of my Lamborghini myself at home as well but was a little worried about using a scalpel around the edges but in the end its just a car.

I go through metrorestyling.com, they carry tons of high end vinyl. I bought 60ft I believe to do the entire car. And yes, do use knifeless tape if u have to cut vinyl on the car or make a nice seam line. Seibon and another company make CF hoods and trunks for all GS generations. Yeah, I just never thought about painting it. Plus wrapping over fresh paint has its own issues and time constraints as well. I researched online and I guess painting CF is a little more involved than painting a metal panel.
Hopefully you still cleared it to protect it from UV. I don't think it looks bad, though I'm used to it from the M3 crowd with full exposed, partially painted, faded paint, etc. The front of our cars has a giant black grille which is a bit in your face too. I left some CF exposed on my front lip, but I did a blend from paint - CF - paint. That's pretty impressive your wrapped the whole car yourself! I almost died putting on just the front clear bra.
