I think it looks great! Another advantage of doing a wrap like this, if done well as he has, it looks as good a regular paint job and you can peel it off and replace is as you get minor road damage that would otherwise be damaging the paint.
I too would like to see your front splitter once you get it back on.
Do you have to treat it any different when it comes to washing and waxing?

As far as washing, you're not supposed to use wash&wax soap, since it will make it shiny. I use mostly water with just a little drop of cheapie car soap. No waxing at all.

The front air dam is purely functional. It touches the ground so I can only use it while racing. It also looks rediculous.

As for wax, I painted my old dodge dakota the same color and I used to wax it with some Turtle Wax Ice liquid wax. It gave it a nice satin luster but it was far from shiny. I would think putting some kind of UV protectant would help protect the wrap, but I know next to nothing about vinyl haha.

Your Camaro looks killer. I didn't think a sports car could pull off military green but yours does for sure!

you want to make sure not to use too much soap. It can start making it look shiny. Also, you dont want to use any quick detailer that contains wax. All the detail manufaturers (mothers, meguiars, etc) told me to try non-ammonia window cleaner. It actually does work well. You'll find its very hard to get rid of oily/greasy hand prints on the vinyl
