I closed my trunk with the battery disconnected before too.
you actually dont even to get a jump, or fish for the emergency release. Just a 12V battery charger attached under the hood will be enough juice to use the fob to unlock the trunk

It looks like you’re doing a great job, Matticus! Bright colors don’t necessarily work that well on a BMW anyway. I do think the green calipers will give it a little personality without being too in-your-face. I joke with my wife about wanting to wrap my whole car lime green but in reality, it will never happen. Showing up at a client office in a more under-the-radar color like Space Gray (or white) is preferable. |

Just looked over this again and it gets me more excited for mine to be wrapped. Ordering the vinyl on Friday so it should be going to my buddy next week. I get to drive his 'new' C5 Vette while he's wrapping my car. 'Merica

For now, here's another update! The rear bumper is less than ideal, so i'll probably do that over again at some point. The rest of the panels look great and a friend is going to help with the front bumper. I'll be doing the door handles but I'm going to leave the hood, roof, and mirrors black for a while to see how I like the look. I'm not sure about the strip on the trunk yet, figured I'd give it a shot. CF spoiler might make it look better once it's back on the car. Any thoughts/opinions on styling are welcome 20180715_102602 by Matt Steele, on Flickr 20180715_102554 by Matt Steele, on Flickr 20180715_104119 by Matt Steele, on Flickr 20180714_113332 by Matt Steele, on Flickr 20180715_215657 by Matt Steele, on Flickr 20180715_215727 by Matt Steele, on Flickr

Honestly looks very good from here. The small things are hard to notice in pictures from a distance. My previous car we wrapped twice and both times had their own imperfections.

Rear bumper isn't horrible but I'm not happy with it. Will leave it for now and see how much material is left at the end. All the sides came out perfect though!

I've thought about it but i can barely manage to keep my own updated lol Yessir! I'm fortunate that I have a huge bay, storage, good lighting, and power. The garage is small too, only about 14 slots in total, so i know everyone that parks near me and they're all very cool about me working in there. Pretty often people coming through will stop and watch for a while haha He's insanely soft and fluffy! Hugs are 10/10
