low135's sunflower yellow E88
I thought I'd start a new thread for the vinyl wrap Pristine Auto Wrap in Springfield, PA did on my E88. I brought the car to him on monday and picked it up friday. We've still gotta fix/adjust a couple things after the car has been out in heat but it's all easy stuff. Very very happy with the color. Anyway, here's the goods!

Really makes all the body lines jump out, especially the front and rear bumpers. Easy to see just how much of a drop the H&R springs brought to the party too.
I like it! Gonna call it Arrest Me Yellow.

Better keep it under the maximum, OP. They won't have to look hard to find you. You should change your name to "low&slow135." lol |

It looks amazing.
Fun cars deserve fun colors. Just look at the green on the AMG GT R! What's next? I'm interested to see how far the cosmetics are going to go...

After I move things are gonna get a bit more wild. Bags and clinched "widebody" are on the list and will require new wheels. The kit is going to require some custom pieces for front and rear bumper since it was designed for regular m sport bumpers. Not sure if a new color will happen with the widebody or not. Gonna be hard to top this color for me |

How do you keep that vinyl wrap from getting dinged or chipped? I'd want to wrap my wrap in the thick mil clear wrap to keep it from getting damaged...

You can certainly clear bra over the wrap, some do. I plan on ceramic coating this which will help a ton

I didn't think I'd like it much, but now that it's done, I really do. Only other yellow that's come close for me was on the Lotus Elise.
Mostly I'm jealous of your wheels. Love those. Is it time yet for blacklines? My wife thought you did something to the headlights to make it look like pupils. I guess she hasn't looked very hard at mine before... Possibly the world's Most Fun Taxi!

Looks great man! Seeing the issues with the front bumper makes me feel a bit better about the job I did haha. I'd love to hear from you and your installer once you get those issues fixed, as to how he'd recommend doing it. I'm planning on redoing the front bumper but this time off the car.
PS - my wife saw the pics, she loves sunflowers and 1ers, perfect combo!

You say "difficult", just one word, but for some reason I'm feeling several paragraphs and enough cussing to make a Marine blush.... lolz
Now that you've got a few days on it how are you liking the exhaust? I kinda wonder if it's drone central from ~1,800 up through ~2,300 RPM? I bet it just w a i l s when you're gettin' on it tho!! That's gotta be impressive!

The exhaust is very droney in that range unfortunately. I'm hoping the downpipes help with that? Unsure. I may need to tweak some things with the resonators and swap them out for something else. It sounds amazing in higher rpm so I tend to stick to that a little more. Smiles per gallon, right? The rev matched downshifts with XHP stage 3 is heavenly. Lots of burbling on decel as well |
