I will get back to comments and questions later and post more of a write up, but it's finals week and I snuck away from the books to grab a couple pictures of my car outside in the sun. It's nearing completion now, just need a few more days!

For those wondering, the spoiler will officially be done in carbon fiber vinyl lol. Needs just a hint more black I figured!

Just not fully assembled. Need to touch up a couple areas, but it will be buttoned up 100% once completed. I also need to reinstall the rear mud guards. I clipped the top of the rear bumper on at about 3 am last night lol, just wanted to get it on the car to get an idea of what it would look like. There's no way I could accept it being left hanging like that, trust me car will look 100% complete and correct before I call I call it done!

Unwrap those pillars and leave them OEM or get carbon fiber pillars to contrast with your spoiler! Other than that... car looks great!

I'll pm you later today, I'd need to talk to my partner before I put a number out there. Sorry for the delay in response, I've been off the forums as I've been busy with the Holiday stuff. I will be back on now in full force though and I am about 5-10 minutes north of Dayton, right off 75 and about 5 min from the I-70/75 interchange.

let us know if you end up doing much more, looks great. the mirrors are tricky. My driver one (which I did first) was a little shaky, but I just about nailed the passenger one. Much happier with it!

I may look into doing that. That's the beauty of the wrap vs. paint, if I get sick of it I'll just peel that part. For now, I'm kind of liking the pillars though! Call me crazy haha.

Thank you. I will tell you it's a time intensive and extremely aggravating process, but if you have the time and skills it feels good once completed.

Excuse how dirty the car is. We've seen snow and salt up here, and it's been cold so I haven't sprayed it off haha.

I didn't do the entire mirror, left the bottom character line and the inner side closest to the window body color. I can get away with small details since the car is black.

I am about 1/3 of the way there, have to redo the driver's side door, my first large panel and it didn't come out perfect. Any little flaw really shows on gloss white. Learning not to overstretch the material was the biggest lesson for me.

I think it would flow a lot better with the spoiler color matched and the b pillars black.

Looks awesome man. I think you need to wrap the spoiler blue though.
