lol ok, well the HREs are nice. I'd update the headlights to the LCI units though.
Who are you responding to at this point? I'm sure there's a wheel or headlight thread somewhere if you have unsolicited opinions to share with people about those things.

This is about cars that have wraps on them.
This is a public web forum. I wasn't aware that any opinions have to be cleared with you before I state them. Last time I checked, I was still able to speak freely in regard to whatever the said topic may be.
Guy is trying to start a discussion on cars with wraps and you're telling people to upgrade their headlights.

I'm genuinely sorry if you were trying to be helpful but I just can't help but feel like you're not.

If you enjoy detailing your car I'd recommend a spray wrap. I just finished a full job on it ending with ceramic coating.

that atlantis wrap looks amazing. well done. I would highly consider something like that rather than paying the same money or more for clearbra.

My installer said 3-5 years for Autoflex or P1 because they're clear coated. Standard issue Plastidip not so much.

It's about 8 months old?

Spray wrap? How does the cost compare to a regular wrap

Depends on your local market but assume about 50% more than vinyl or about $3k for a proper install.

Avery Dennison: Satin Pearl Nero

I really like the color which is why I've been hesitant to change it. The satin really brings out the lines, especially with the flake that is in this particular color. When California is on fire it makes some pretty nice reflections at sunset.

It's been on for 5 years with no issues. I've redone the front bumper once just to clean up all the rock impacts that put small imperfections or tears in the wrap. Under the wrap was in good shape. The vinyl doesn't protect like PPF, but it does offer some protection. In my case it prevented all peppering of the front bumper.

Here's mine. Autoflex high gloss in Atlantis blue.
The Atlantis blue looks awesome. Do you have any other angles of the car with that wrap?
Here are a couple more

In my case it's a traditional wrap, was a 5ft x 60ft roll. And some gloss black accents.
