Nice. That's the only way to have a wrap done. Some shops don't take the car apart, which is just dumb in my opinion. It comes out so much better when they do. I really like that Z/28 spoiler. Going to have to pick one of those up.

Here's mine in matte red aluminum.

So the wrap shop has laminated the film with a 1.2 mil satin overlay by Avery. It's a crazy color that pictures of a small sample cannot capture. Basically in certain lights it will appear a metallic white (Not pearl, no golds) and then in other lights the car will appear to be silver. It should be want I want, but with metallic wraps you really don't know until a large part of the car is done.

Wired up the "Cup Holder" LEDs today. Really nice and very bright. Should look awesome with a bottle of water in the holder at shows.. I also ceramic coated my factory exhaust tips today. Really happy with them.

Brought the mufflers to my powder coater. He does ceramic. Again one of the best! I am lucky to have such great shops near me.
