Brings back nightmares of wrapping my front bumper. It is possible in one piece, but might have better results doing the inlays first.

Thanks I'm going to! For now at least, I dig the look. And for me it's a bit of a throwback to my old Mustang

Nice. It came together pretty quickly and looks good. I'm considering doing something similar with my trunk now. Might be too much with the 1M style rear though

I bet your buddy has some gloss black on hand, you could just do that lower part pretty easily and pull it off if you don't like it

The 1M rep bumper looks pretty good wrapped in white.

I thought so too! That was one of my main drives for this, it shows the lines so much better than the dark colors.

Agree!

Have to say, even though I know this is one of the other reasons you're wrapping it (to protect the hood), I think that CF hood looks badass against the white car.

I agree, i'm looking for some PPF now haha I think i'm going to wrap the hood in PPF and then try to do something with the white over it that looks classy and exposes some of the CF

Yeah, you just gotta have some carbon fiber showing on the exterior of the car. Looks 'mean' imo. lol

Haha yeah it's a sad thought to cover the whole thing! Turning out to be a big PITA finding PPF in a size that will cover the hood!

If Apollo's in charge, will he take milk-bones as payment and how many boxes/cases will he want for a wrap?

I can get behind any pup as majestic as Apollo has to contain the sauce. As a matter of fact I've seen him in person and I felt the aura.
