What color are u going with next, and are you sticking with the same brand? I'm really liking the Avery stuff. I haven't tried peeling any panels off yet so I don't know how that will be. Are you guys using heat to peel them off?
didnt need any heat although its only been on the car 6 months.
The doors might be a bit more tricky.. the rest was wrapped over single stage blitz black paint.
Avery pearl white satin.

Nice! That's the color I have, that color would look nice on your car. Now that I'm comfortable with wrapping mine I'm going to go with gunmetal. My car is already OEM Pikes Peak...

Its been a few month since I wrapped the whip, but here is a little update. I've driven thousands of miles and so far everything is holding up quite well. Besides a few minor rock chips in the bumper, I really cant find anything wrong with it.... No peeling, fading or bubbling. I'm actually thinking of doing a matte gunmetal sometime next year.Attachment 377097
Going to be wrapping my car white soon. Excited!

Thanks bro! Yeah it's the V2 Bumper... It's actually a Duraflex Bumper lol. The fitment is probably a 8/10. If I had to do it again I would ether get Shine or a Urethane one. All in all its holding up pretty good, I scrape the lip all of the time lol. The headlights are OEM with tint, nothing special.
pics do it zero justice.. the pearl lights up in this film like nothing I imagined.. its literally almost like reflective tape lol. Had my buddy Adam of Mixxed Auto Designs help me out with the bumper ..and with extra hands to stretch the hood vinyl.
