I could definitely get used to the idea of using it to hide chrome. I like it over the frankenstein bolt plates. But it would be out of place on a silver car like mine, and out of place on my car in general.

Here are a few pics and a video i took with my Ipod Nano. I actually cant believe how good the video quality is.

You wrap anything else? I have some of this comin my way...

Rushin 11-22-2009 11:10 AM

I did try to wrap the turn signal intakes and it did notnwork too good. Because the middle part is soo deep I could not get the vinyl to go deep inside the vent. I will try it to do in two pieces and se how that turns out.

This looks so awesome, no pics of a hardtop yet? That hood looks great.

FRT_Fun 11-22-2009 12:25 PM

Everything has turned out way better than I expected. Very surprised. Keep up the good work, you have me interested in this stuff now too!

The pic was taken at my house this afternoon. I have to say the CF wrap looks nice if you are looking for a cheap option to painting.
