Getting closer to having this done. Finally sourced a metallic gloss gold, Avery Dennison SW900-215-M, from a guy in New York (instawraps, they sell on ebay and Amazon). Nobody in my area could get the stuff in bulk for some reason so I had to do it myself. I'm having the above graphics replicated to the T with the exception of the border stripe being gold to match my Aurum wheels instead of silver.
Should come out looking very similar to this, but with the gold accents completely surrounding each black stripe instead of only on one side like in the image, and the taper at the rear being about half the taper shown in the image.
I also have a set of custom decals coming from Renndecals and I've not yet decided which to go with. Anyone with any wrap/graphic experience care to give me the 411 on whether wrap or decal is preferable and why?

Cost like 180 euro the whole set. Upper part and sides. Dunno if they ship overseas, but check their website. Hope this makes you find what you are looking for!

We’re they the Matt grey and gloss red combo? Thx…
My decals have arrived from RennDecals. I'm a little bit nervous about installing them myself but what's the worst that could happen? I peel them off and have a pro do it for me next time?

Half way there. The front decals weren't cut to mimic the radius at the leading edge of the hood very well so we're doing those over again. Got the rear done and, as I expected I would, I like it a lot. DIY. Fairly easy to work with when applied wet. Perfect install? No. But pretty darn close.
I feel like having some contrasting stripes in between the humps really accentuates the curves of the humps a lot.

looks great! Want to see the front as well - perfect compliment to those aurum wheels!
Just completed...a 'ghost stripe' effect with matte film on my racing yellow CGTS 4.0.
Special thanks to @SpyderSenseOC for sharing the dimensions of his two-stripe arrangement; a perfect visual proportion indeed!
Garage lighting; grazing angle. Garage lighting; rear view. The shop artist suggested to do the spoiler--nice touch on the round-off that matches the front--plus stopping it at the break line of the spoiler. Dimensions: 7" stripe / 1" space / 7" stripe. Washed out by winter sunlight; full car shot.

Love it. One of one. I'd like to see some shots from farther (further?) back so I can take it all in. And what's that I see lurking in the background? A Gemini 718 Spyder?

Yes--better pictures DEFINITELY in the plan. Also, awarding you maximum bonus points on identification of the contents in my 'winter storage area'.
This is what I had in mind for my white Spyder - Where did you get the matte film? I guess the shop arranged for it... It looks great. Wonder how a Spyder with ghost stripes would look like!

I'll assume your Spyder is white based on your profile picture. If your car is base white, I think the matte will look fantastic--as the matte effect seems to show well on a non-metallic paint. If you have Carrara White--it might still look amazing--but just harder to see at certain angles because of the metallic in the paint.
As a suggestion...once you find a shop you could probably stop by and have them cut a small strip for you to evaluate the look.
Good luck with your project--and will love to see photos when it's complete.
