    I like your lighted mirrors, did you have to replace the whole mirror or does the light portion just attach to the bottom of the housing?

    How's the vinyl holding up so far? Do you find it easier or more difficult to wash the car?

    I'd imagine you'd want to do a wipe down with something like 303 Aerospace Protectant after each wash to retain the matte sheen and prevent fading.

    Not very hard but front and rear bumper really give us hard time to do it

    They are JDM mirror have to replace the whole set

    I park my car outside my home everyday only some parts is shrink a little bit like rear view mirrior , about wash I took it to regular car wash but not machine wash still pretty good and no fade yet, not sure how long will it last but already thinking change another color :)

    I found the "yellow cab" wrap price $600 here in Prague. It is an action price just for teh TAXI, so non-cab wrap price should be around $1000, I suppose.

    I've been reading online anecdotes ranging from $200-$3k for people matte-black'ing their cars here in the US

    Damn you beat me to it. I thought I will be the first to wrap my car in matt. I will get mine done this Wednesday by professional which cost about £1,600 ($2,464).

    Where do you source the vinyl and how much they cost if you don't mind me asking? I'm thinking of doing to the roof, maybe 3m di-noc cf or flat black. Thanks.

    I ordered through my other friend's shop close to 600, di-noc is good and easy to wrap it, this might be my next choice CF whole car

    Pimp+ What are the wheels and tires with sizes? Did you have to shim the rear to get them to fit? Roll Fenders? Those look like aftermarket struts did you lower it also?
