2) Make sure you pick a good film (3M/Hexis/etc.)
3) Check if you can still polish the film every other 6-12M (I know that you can do this for non-matte films which is good practice to maintain the shine)
4) You will have to be very careful with where and how you wash your car - even a good film tends to be very cranky in the wrong hands under a high-pressure wash
5) If you get stone chips - you will notice them on the film. And unlike car paint - you can't just polish them off, you'll have to rip-off the film from the damaged area and re-apply. But I'm speaking of proper rocks at speed here, not just 0.01 mm sand dust ))

Thanks for the tips, Armen. He is using 3M film. I'll ask about the polish. The perk of getting the wrap through my friend is that he takes care of all nicks/dings/chips for really cheap if anything happens to my wrap

Yeah, I'm starting to lean towards the Satin Grey, but I'll know when I see the film samples. Thanks, Ben. I'm definitely going to post everything with plenty of pictures once my full project is complete. I've added a final project to the list. Better brakes. He got me a great deal for a few companies and powdercoats ANY/EVERY color from here:
http://www.prismaticpowders.com. When I get to this project and narrow down my choices, I will post another poll regarding the color of these brakes. Right now, I'm considering satin blue, satin red, and satin lime green (shinier version of Porsche 918 spyder brakes since they flow well with grey colors). Basically I will do a Super Chrome layer mixed with another color. Here's the image gallery:
