Nice contrast with the black / orange 2-toned theme

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Answers to the most common questions below:

1. 3M film
2. Guaranteed for 5 years
3. $3500, 4 days to complete
4. The hood is wrapped in flat black as well, as are the mirrors and rear valence.
5. There is ostensibly no damage to the underlying paint, and you can remove it at any time. It is the same material as "Clear Bra".
6. The quality is interesting - it is a beautiful glossy finish but it is noticeably different than paint. From 10 feet away, you'd never know the difference, from 10 inches away it looks slightly "plasticky".

The most surprising result for me, was that the installer was able to cover the wing, mirrors, and valence and have it look like an OEM finish.

Could you please take a pic of door jambs, engine bay, hood, deck lid, etc...? I'd like to see where the wrap joins the paint, and what it looks like when you open the door.

By plasticky, do you mean like a stretched spandex or Saran look?

Coming from KTM background, orange/black is my favorite color combo.
Well done, I would also be interested to see more pics of the more conspicuous places. Thanks
