Let's see what everyone has!

I personally just order my vinyl and will post pics once completed!
I plan on wrapping my car in the coming weeks. Care to offer any advice? did you remove all of your trim pieces? I'm super scared about breaking clips and tabs.

I love the wrap OP, planning on doing a more conservative wrap but switching it up from the matte black I have on my e92 m3, do you have any recommendations as to how to prevent fading? Wrap on e92 looks trashed >.>

I'm not interested in debating anyone's color preference, mod choice or reasons why they chose them.

Thanks! It's definitely an eye catcher!

Choose a good quality vinyl and keep it clean.

The vinyl I used is Avery Satin Rushing Riptide. Has been on the car for almost a year now.

I use Adams waterless car wash, Avery's Vinyl Cleaner, and Chemical Guys foaming wash with foam cannon!

On hood, roof, and trunk, add a clear guard like hexis or similar to add a protective layer from UV Rays...

Hope this helps.

Awesome advice, thanks for taking the time to explain. Very meticulous application of vinyl, I'll post pics once I get mine wrapped.

Not as many pics as I had hope but the wrap job looks clean. I’ll post mine when I decide on a color to wrap it.
I wrapped a Jetta in the same Rushing Riptide but the gloss verision.

OP- Rear bumper vinyl looks like it may have been applied in the opposite direction as the rest of the car. Still looks good though

I am very interested in seeing the high quality wraps that are available. I had my front wrapped clear for protection. I think they did a marginal job at best.

I'd like to know the original car color before the wrap.

Thanks.

It is the same direction, but I ended up tilting the vinyl on accident on both sides not realizing.

That's the only hiccup on the entire install.

It's only really noticeable under fluorescent lighting.

It's been bothersome to me since day 1

Pretty amazing that you can totally change the color, protect the original paint and remove and replace whenever your bank account allows it. I think it's pretty cool.

Like others, I wish more would post pics.
