Just curious, what made you want to do it?
One thing is for sure, it will help cut down on rock chips.

Obviously wraping shop did not push me anyhow.

I wanted to buy black, because there are already many black stuff on car (like convertible top, front and rear lower parts of bumber and so on). The only available at shop was sterling grey.

Also i have seen SS 396 camaro 1970's, made in black matt with chrome details and chrome custom thorqs. Chrome looks amazing and stands out on matt surfaces. Also it gives a real vintage muscle look. Same like i wanted to.

Here is the link with picture. It all started from that pic http://www.hpmotorsports.se/bilder/h...69_SSRS_4s.jpg

I have read many negative opinions about black matte. But i was told it is completely reversible process. You just take the vynil after some5 years with no marks left. In reality it looks like 10 times better than in that video, really

Just a few days ago, here in Vegas, I saw a 2010 Camaro that was Matte-Black with Gloss-Black stripes. Basically the opposite of what a lot of people do. It looked friggin amazing.

Like your car. Very nice job on the wrap!

Be happy, you are not allowed to tint the front windows here in rainy California at all. That doesn't stop many people though...

I like the wrap job. How long did it take him to do it?

Many windows come already little factoyry tinted like 20-30% so you cannot more dim also. .

For the job i think it took him totally 16 hours. Firstly he had to disasseble some parts like spoilers and frond hood scoop, release bumper side end. This was needed to be done so even from few feet distance you dont see any mark of wraping its fully done round the corners. Usually on bmw 645 is a very popular option in moscow. They do not dissasebly the bumpers and put wrap staight on. It takes only 8 hours all process. I have waranty for 5 years. Keeping in mind that it gets from -20f in winter to 100f in summer

Man that looks good.
Call me stupid... I did not know people wrapped entire cars!
It's just like a gigantic vinyl sticker or what?

I always wanted to see a matte black car with gloss black stripes.
ALWAYS thought it would be awesome.

Yes, this is gigantic vynil sticker. They put vynil firts and after they go with a heating fan all around so vynil glues and streches. When touching you can not see results of wraping it stcks like paint, all edges go round the corner. fun and cheaper and less expensive than painting
