Do you even lift, bro?

FOLLOW THE STORY WITH THE PICS AS YOU SCROLL:
So.....due to something out of my control....I had to remove my OEM vinyl wrap. I love the look of the OEM matte black vinyl on white: But it needed more, so......I added THESE within weeks of delivery: That brings us to the issue that required the vinyl removal.....SO removal of said badges and OEM vinyl: ...to get a fresh canvas: After a couple days of thought I came up with an idea and ran with it....here is the process and final result: Used my template: Sketched in a location and size to keep proportions of the "1LE": Taped in place for installer and laid down the "1LE": Came out like this: (keep scrolling though...theres MORE) That wasn't enough....THIS was my final vision: Satin vinyl OVER the "1LE" lettering to leave just a subtle hint on the hood: Then completed trimming for a final look: More pics added per PM requests: Another look at the Satin vinly over the lettering: Close up of lettering height: Difference between matte and satin vinyls: (removed OEM balled up LOL) - you can see the satin has a mild gloss to it:

That looks bad ass man! I like it a lot.
What happened to the original wrap and how much did it cost to do the re wrap? |

cant really say on the OEM wrap other than it needed replaced...cost $518 OTD but I only paid $218. That included ordering 3 full yards of 3M vinyl and install, taxes..the lettering etc

As I was reading the story of the wrap, I saw the 1LE on the hood and thought, "please don't leave it like that!". And then I scrolled a little more to see the wrap over the graphic. Well done, sir! It looks fantastic. I love how simple and clean it looks but badass at the same time. Keep it up!

I love that car. I keep checking up on it every now and then and it's always something very tasteful and badass.

I specifically purchased these 285s to replace only the fronts as they wear out, and I'll keep buying 315s for the rear
