I would go about doing the same thing. There's no other paint like Lambo paint! I have a question though, is there a concern of the film yellowing or fading??

They said if the car is left out in the sun most of the time, it will turn yellow after a year. Also if you consistently wax over it, it will yellow from the carbons in the wax. THey said just to use PLEXUS plastic polish after EACH wash, and itll be fine for a few years. I dont mind redoing it every year if I have to. I got it for many reasons. Super high speeds, getting keyed by haters of the world, etc...

HAHAHAHA good one man. That got me laughing. Jeez Stryke, that's quite a bit your friend paid, but then again everything in New York is overpriced!

I have a bra on my car and although it's almost invisible I feel like the front is just missing that WOW factor after a good cleaning that the non-bra paint has.

But I could be way off and The Shank is keeping this one.
One rock chip on your hood could cost around $15K to get fixed properly. Since you have to repaint the hood, you also have to blend the whole front end of the car. I know people that had to do this, and it isn't cheap. I wrapped the front end on my Diablo and don't regret it for a minute.

Very nice.

They came out to my house and did my Gallardo about a year and a half ago.

I did the entire front of the car, the front fenders, rockers and rear fenders for $850.

The Plexis cleaner/wax is great. It was originally used for motorcycle sheilds...did a great job of keeping the G clean.
