Ooh... i didn't see those new pics until just now. Looks VERY nice.

Any update? Hows it holding up? Whats your opinion of the matte black vinyl now that it's been some time?

I'm thinking of going with matte white vinyl... not sure yet though.

Black gets so dirty soooo quick (I've never had a black car), especially with all the rain. I keep a spray bottle of water and a microfiber cloth in my car at all times. I’ll put up new pics later but the vinyl has held up great with no rock chips. I had one air bubble where I messed up on the roof but I popped it and it’s fine. Only peeling and cracking has been on the lip kit. But that’s been my fault. I just patch it up and I'll rewrap it in the spring.

Overall it’s great and I would do it again, and with my experience it should take half the time to do (1 week instead of 2). There was a big learning curve. I was thinking matte white next too. Other options; chrome or glow in the dark :)

SirThomas88 - if you decide to do it, I'd definitely want to see how it turns out.

damn, looking good. I would really like to do my roof in gloss black, to match the black wheels...i better find a good vinyl shop cause I doubt I would have the tender touch to get it perfect.
