Looks dope man. Very nice!

Very clean and tastefully done, which sadly seems to be rare.

Love the black headlight housings

How much did the wrap cost? Parts and labor?

Impressive! I couldn't even tint my own windows, let alone wrap an entire car.

Restecp.

I had a friend who wrapped his M3. From how he described the job, it sounds like it requires some Mother Theresa-like patience...

That sounds great! Also you should maybe add a bigger spacer in the rear, would look a lot better!
