    I agree! I don't even like wraps, usually, but the results on that car are just remarkable. My question is what is the texture like when you touch it. Anyone ever come across this in person?

    The wrap looks fantastic in the video - would love to see that in real life too.

    Beautiful, I see they didn't do full panel removal, blades and such left on whilst they did it. Still looks fantastic. From the forum I though panel removal was a must.

    What effect would this finish have on resale values? I know it can be removed, but would leaving it on increase the value or reduce it?

    Hmmm....these guys say it has a real "brushed steel" texture.

    I'm thinking it has great potential for interior applications too.

    Do they make a wrap that looks entirely rusted out? I want that.
