I like it! Although the black roof does remind me of a hair piece (sorry, I just couldn't resist).

^^ wow looks like wrapping is pretty commonplace nowadays...

how do you take care of a wrap job once done...do you treat it as you would normally like paint?? wash, clay, polish, seal and/or wax..etc...

For matte probably just wash. Gloss you could probably wax, etc. It is plastic so have to treat it differently...

I've been told by good sources that wraps are very easy to care for—easier than paint due to the lack of clear coat. You just have to be careful not to use high pressure wash or anything that might tear it. I've considered simply because I take no joy in washing my car and they said that you really dont have to wash a wrapped car much at all—combine that with PCCB and I'd only have to wash once a year, very tempting

Why wouldn't you need to wash a wrapped car? Seems like it can get dirty or dusty like anything else. Does the dirt just fall of the car at high speed?

Its definitely a great transformation, everyone thought i bought a new car or had it sprayed, its amazing what can be done in just a few days.

The matte roof is very nice in my opinion.. I didn't want too much blue! and it matches the wheels,spoiler and mirrors perfectly

Ive "washed" it once, just used a special cloth and an autoglym rapid detailer spray, im not looking forward to my long drive to the Nurburgring though! im sure it will get filthy lol
