Very true, it's fairly simple whole car can be back to red in about 30 min. Amazing that 16hrs of work comes off in 30 min lol

Very nice. How well will it hold up on a daily driver?

Any plans to change the wheels? I like the matte black look - how does the material hold up against rock chips?

It actually holds up really good! It's real durable and not as soft as you may think it takes quite a bit of power to pundits it

I really didn't plan on changing wheels but what did you have in mind? So far so good with rocks

I really like it....does it come in different colors? Can the wrap itself be ordered and I do the labor myself? Also I think it is a great way to see another color on your car without actually laying some paint down.

Looking good brother! I've always wanted to wrap my FRC. How long did each part take? Did you remove the bumpers, 1/4 panels, fenders, etc? C5's are so damn easy to take apart. Pieces of junk they are

Did you leave the tail red like in the 2nd to last photo or did you wrap it as well?

IMO the matte black just makes it look like primer. The matte lambo colors look good. The fact that its a wrap is impressive. I have tinted some windows and just that makes me want to punch a baby. I can't imagine trying to wrap a car...
