Been on the fence about wrapping my TT Z over here in BE.

Thanks for helping me with my decision that is one sick color.

This really looks awesome and is very unique. How does it hold up to washing? Does it shine? What about chipping or pulls since it is Vinyl?

You have to use just a wash, without all the added extra crap they put in for peoples convenience (laziness)

I use Bilt Hamber Autowash as it's just wash and works very well.

what would really set this car off would be a CF lip kit to match your wing and kind of match your wheels. Just saying!

Cleaning a wrapped car is much easier, just wipe it down as the surface has a waxy feel to it. Dirt and debris does not tack on like it does on paint. One advantage over Plastidipping the entire car.

EmpireDude, your work inspired me to learn how to wrap! I contacted the local wrap shop, but they wanted $200 for the roof, and $2200 for the whole car!

I'm a DIY guy and instead watched countless videos, then stumbled a bit with my first installation. After that learning experience, I successfully wrapped my roof and B pillars in matte black.

About to order a huge roll of matte blue metallic and do it all myself with a bit of help from my girlfriend. Great work on your car, it looks fantastic!
