I would like to see a picture of the rear I love that wing...

Berra fantastic looking car in factory black but that color is a bit much for me, they did a nice job from pics.

It's hexis Olympic blue, as Mexico blue as it gets. Yes, gloss!

Just got home, will take better pics as soon as weather clears up.
Awesome color! Very tempting to copycat

That's ok, these bright colors aren't for everyone. Love my factory basalt black but want to preserve it as much as possible, so until they start offering full clear bra, I'll go with a wrap.

I'll be sure to post better pics soon, doing a photo shoot with a friend.

The garage talk app is acting strange, uploaded wrong pic for whatever reason and I can't edit the previous post to paste it in there.

Here is one from the rear.

I have seen full clear protection and my installer did them, guess it depends on location- who's available.

Yeah, I'm in Sweden and the company that did the wrap is Nr 1 in the country but they told me it's time consuming and too expensive. Also, clear bra is different as its more difficult to apply so as it is now, they don't offer that option.

What does it look like in the door jam where the wrap ends?

Unfortunately I can't wash the car for about a week, makes me go crazy! The wrap needs some time to settle, washing may cause the wrap to let go in some areas.

That is a neat and clean transition. Good work.

Black can pull it off with the door jambs, especially with a black interior. Very Nice!
