man that looks great!
My only suggestion is to maybe do the bottom lip of your grill too. Thats the only part I currently have wrapped in matte and I really like the look personally. That lip is suuper easy to do yourself. I have hardly any vinyl experience and I was able to do that myself in one try.

Got a really great quote at a shop in Richardson and taking mine in for a full chrome delete and roof wrap in 2 Saturdays.

Thanks man! Just checked out your pics and I'm really digging how you wrapped the bottom portion lip. I'm definitely going to look into that! Where are you taking it in Richardson?

Thanks! yeah i think that lip may just complete the look.

I think the shop is called A to Z. Me and forcaport7, and maybe a few other local guys are using them. forcaport7 got his done already and said they do really good work. And they have really great prices too.

Forca and I went to A to Z yesterday and got wrapped. I did full chrome delete, mirrors and roof done and they did a good job. Im going back this saturday because it was pouring rain yesterday and some of the wrap didn't stick completely. They are going to re wrap for free.

man that looks sooo good. I have my apt with them a week from this Sat to do the same minus the mirrors.

I already told him satin black for the window chrome, did you go with gloss on your grill chrome or something different? I am undecided what will look better on the grill

Went with gloss for the grill. metallic might go better with the grill finish but not sure. It still looks great either way.

Looks great, grille looks a bit more muted, but it looks much better!

yea just tell them when you get there. If you don't specify, he is not going to wrap it.

They did a great job on the fin too. My wrap shrinked a bit at the front of the fin but its not very noticeable unless you are at a birds eye view.
