Do what wife says. Wise man.

Is this your first time doing a wrap? Looks pretty good to me. Can’t wait to see the finished product.

Yes it is. I watched a bunch of videos and thought I'd give it a try. I finished it last night

Why Matte/Satin Black? Plenty of great great colours to choose from, some even almost OEM.

Great work on getting it back to a functioning car again.

Thumbs up

If I was you I would've tried to find m-packages bumpers it gives the car more aggressive look and way more options for front lips/splitters.
still great job its coming in well.

I've always wanted a flat black. Next wrap on it will be a bold color.

Thanks
It was hard enough finding front end parts let alone try to find specific ones.

So Friday I got the car inspected and licensed. Yesterday Midas made me a mid pipe and installed my MagnaFlow exhaust for $150.

She is on the road until winter. Then it goes back into my shop.

Damn that looks good!!! Midas made a custom exhaust with a muffler you brough in? Did you provide exhaust tips? That seems awfully cheap. Down in miami that would have cost 300-400!!!
