Thanks! I tried to find those vinyl decals too but I didn't have much luck.. so I decided to do it myself and picked up some 3M Vinyl film from Amazon. Then watch some youtube videos on how its done... Took me a few times to get them right but finally learned to do it myself.

Well fuck man, if you'd be willing and could use a few bucks, I'd pay ya to craft me a similar set of those inserts (since you've perfected the technique haha). I'd cover supplies of course and can throw whatever you feel is fair for the work. Just let me know haha.

No where near perfect. Any vinyl shop can do this easily. Im sure you can find one someone near you. The custom cuts were done on the car during application...so i really dont have a pattern to recreate them with... Sorry.

Looks great! Really digging the black vinyl on the headlight eyelids. Was considering doing the same.

I will be posting newer photos soon of some more recent mods. Just recently installed my SG lip, side skirts.... and my DPE 20's is finally arriving this week.

Looks amazing!

You made me really jealous right now, just PERFECT.

If you don't mind, how much $$$$ did it cost you? PM if you dont want to share it here... I'm looking to do the same on my MW once the car arrives.

THANK YOU!!!!!!

That spoiler and the black vinyl

Konig Ludwig · 12-21-2015, 05:03 PM

nice car, overdone a bit with the black gemstone roundels

raysspl · 12-21-2015, 06:16 PM

Very svelte color

SugarSkulls · 12-21-2015, 08:14 PM

This looks absolutely stunning!

I've never looked into xpel stealth, but could anyone give me an idea what it costs to use on the whole car? Looks just as good as factory frozen paint!

I initially wanted to get factory frozen... but I've heard crazy things about paint matching. And would have spent money anyway just to Xpel and protect it. So I decided to Xpel Stealth to get the effect instead plus get that added paint protection. Xpel Stealth could cost you anywhere from $4k+ depending on your installer. The installer is key. Mine was the best in my area and I told him to take his sweet time to get my perfect.... costs me $6k cuz I had a lot of custom cuts done that are not part of the pattern that comes with the Xpel Kits. My installer customized all the templates so everything is tucked in. He also created a custom wrap kit for my door handles (Xpel does not have a kit for this door handles for some odd reason). My headlights, tail lights, CF roof, mirrors and all black trims around the windows are all wrapped in Xpel Ultimate as well.... same with my CF splitters and rear deck spoiler. It totally makes the car pretty much paint protected. Worth every penny to have that piece of mind... Not to mention, I also get compliments almost every day.

Well it looks absolutely stunning. Definitely makes me reconsider ordering any individual M in the future if all other options are available locally with the exception of the frozen paint.

Saves time and would run just about the same as the factory paint anyways

Thanks! Don't get me wrong... there's still the novelty of having individual/factory paint. Some would argue that the satin wraps aren't as good as factory frozen paint. I just like the added protection of paint that comes along with achieving the same look.... and without having to wait.

Even though the wrap is silver and not white, I love the way it looks like a stormtrooper!
