Oh the hood isn't wrapped. I was showing a pic of the BMW decal that I installed since the original decal said somethin like BDM lol.

That's just terrible quality on the Chinese plastic. I had planned on taking a dremel around the whole car to clean up their rough cut edges when all is said and done. And yes the hood right by the kidney grill is the worst.

Also I just talked to my wrap guy. He said that plastics like these don't let the vinyl adhere to them properly unless you paint the surface first (which is probably what helped caus some of my frustration when i couldn't get the vinyl to pull and then stick on straight without the wrinkles.) I sent him pics so it'll be between him and a hydrodipping guy for these finishing touches.

Worst case scenario, just the exhaust tips and mirror caps will be carbon fiber.
