This looks really good! I think it's definitely more bluish than USB. USB has a purplish hue to it.

Interesting...Waiting to see the final pictures of the car. I have high hopes for it, after taking a look at the 335i that you posted.

Nice blue! It reminds me of Estoril Blue on the E36 / E46 M3.

I would still prefer the USB color, but the quality of that wrap looks like paint; that is amazing!

I will post some pictures later tonight, unfortunately the car isn´t ready...

When I went to pick it up Friday they hadn´t finished the side mirrors.

Cost of it all was about $2500, cheapest places here would charge about $2000, but these guys have a lot more experience. I think it took them around 10 hours.

I love one of the Lambos they did earlier this year:

I agree... That is actually the colour that comes closest of the ones I´ve seen. The Azure one is even "lighter", but still pretty close.

"Base" wrap is about $2000, then $500 extra for the CF.

A full paint job would be $4000-$7000...

Not surprised about the pricing differences though. Anything including manual labour is more expensive here. A McDonalds employee makes around $15 an hour and on top of that McD has to pay around $5 an hour in "social fees"- you get the picture...

A new ISF is about $110k... On the other hand, if I lived in neighbouring country Norway a new ISF would be $280.000
