http://www.ebay.com/itm/WHITE-PEARL-...-/150951480940 The plastic on our F15s is very difficult to wrap because of the non-smooth plastic surface so make sure you get someone VERY skilled to do it. My friend had a lot of trouble on it because in cold it does not like to stay on that type of surface.

OK, I am late to the party...
Omar that picture, the very first one looks the best, though we need some daylight shots too. Also your step bars blended very well, not to mention wheel arches! Too bad about the air suspension, at least you learned about its quirks in a relatively safe environment, instead of being on the highway when it loses air and drops or even worse on a speed bump. Compared to all other stuff you got, especially your HDMI connection and all digital cluster, Msport wheel (did you do carbonfiber interior? I lost track, sorry!) air suspension is no big deal. You can always try again by following someone else who eventually got it right on their ride. I think those wheels look totally different on a matching wrap and goes a lot better with the vehicle. It looked good against white, but it looks much better now. Are you planning to tackle LED headlight conversion next?

Thanks, man. He gets all his stuff from Vvivid. I don't know where he got the 3k carbon cloth and resin from.

Thanks Chris . They did, and I brought that up and made sure nothing like that happened again. You would think that people take care of your car as if it is their own, but I guess not or they don't take care of their owns cars the way we do .

Thanks, Jae . I get it back tomorrow. It went back to get the air suspension removed and stock suspension put back on.

opasha So opasha, a question; Knowing what you know now (hindsight being an exact science) would you still have done the wrap to your car? Any lessons learnt for the Project Management community here

I do notice more people looking at my car as I pass by them under lit roads. The satin really gives a nice effect. If you or anyone ever goes for a wrap, I recommend some sort of satin finish. It really makes it feel premium, the way our BMW is designed to be . Did you perhaps see a 2015 RR Hybrid?: http://www.greencarreports.com/news/...v-u-s-wont-get
