Yummy. I love the look.

i wasn't expecting that! love the colour, and the aluminium vinyl is soo much nicer!!

great transformation. you did a lotta really nice, quality work on the interior and the whole car.
wheels look great, and for the platform and being static, the height is nice.
very impressed, keep up the good work!

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the positive feedback.

May I ask where you buy the wrap, I'm digging the black brushed aluminum look and would like to try some of this wrap on my interior trim? Is there a really good instruction on how to properly apply it, obviously you are kicking ass at it, I didn't think for a minute before seeing this build that a wrap would look this good up close (good pictures), your ride made me a believer. You sir have an exceptional attention to detail and I look forward to more updates on this sweet machine.

Thank you. I bought my vinyl straight from the manufacturer(Hexis USA). There is a good online store http://autovinylsolutions.com/, but they don't carry Hexis vinyl anymore.

I would highly recommend to watch this YouTube channel:

Looks good so far=) Are you actually from Milwaukee?

I'm from Madison

At first, I cringed. Then, towards the end, I got into it.

Not bad at all, looks pretty good. The only thing that I don't care for is the amount of vinyl wrapping on the outside- all the trim, badges, and little stuff just seems a little bit over the top.

Good work, keep it up.

Thanks. I see your point. The only reason why I wrapped the car at the first place is because the painter I chose messed up the paint job on lowers(unpainted side skirts and bumper lips), they didn't match at all(metallic color). At that time I didn't have a budget to repaint(blend) all the parts on the car again and decided to try to wrap it myself(cost me $700 in materials, plus I can change the color every 2-4 years). As far as the badge and trims, they were all chrome and I didn't want to paint them, so for me it was easier and faster to refresh some pieces by wrapping them. The 3M black brushed aluminum looks really good in person, and you couldn't tell at first that it's all wrap, IMO.

Decided to redo the hatch, since it wasn't perfect. Also the backup camera location was bothering me a lot and I was tired of carbon fiber look, finally. I bought 60"x60" 3M Black Aluminum vinyl sheet to redo most of my exterior trim pieces. The only pieces still wrapped in CF are the chrome lower molding inserts and lower front bumper accent, decided to keep them as-is since they are not very visible.

It took me around 3 days to do everything. Here are some picture from my phone and NEX-5

Before

3M CF wrap. Rails were wrapped 2 years ago, the vinyl looked as good as on day 1 when I removed it.




Rear wiper arm



Old backup camera location




Mirrors before





Took the rails off



Ready to take the old vinyl off




In process. I was very surprised how easy it was to remove the old vinyl




Paint looked like new



Prepped for a new application



New camera location. Lower trim was ideal for mounting the camera.





I cut the small hole to fit the camera housing. Test fitting the new setup.





Wrapped in 3M Black aluminum




Also switched my parking LED bulbs from 6K to amber








After

Some pictures I took yesterday with my NEX-5. New pieces wrapped: mirror covers, lower and upper LP trims, rear emblem, rear wiper arm and roof rails
















Quick photoshoot

damn that thing has come along way. Would love it more if it was bagged I didnt even know there was an aftermarket following for these. Great job.

Thanks. Here the sickest FX ever build(TT, manual, widebody, bags etc ), my inspiration, but I'm far off

This thing is crazy. Cant wait for that supercharger to be apart of it

Wow. I wasn't really into it with the BOSS wheels but those new ones turned it around completely! I love it!

Edit: Also the ride height looks perfect for a crossover, imo.
