Do you have a clear bra? Does it cover the entire hood or do you deal with a "sight line"? Any other panels covered? In my mind this is just an extension of that.

Certainly a valid point of view - and probably more healthy than mine. But I come from the camp that if you buy something nice, you take the pains to make sure it stays that way. I have had my 2007 E60 7 years now and she looks 98% as nice as she did they day she arrived. I get great personal pleasure in keeping her clean, polished and as ding and chip free as possible.

Ha funny my girlfriend backed into my 11 E90 comp M3 and smashed the whole rear quarter panel last week with my SUV. I was pissed, but at the end of the day I just figured its out of my control so why get mad,frustrated and stressed? Anyway IDK If she backs into my new frozen grey M5 I order there might be a divorce in the near future! LOL

Flat bra wrap much different than a flat vinyl wrap. The bra always looks great, the vinyl has a tendency to warp and look spotty, but you can make the flat vinyl come out great if you know how to work the material nicely.

Road Racin - I had my car wrapped with a matte metallic wrap at a place in The Valley. PM me if you're interested and I can refer you. I also know of a really solid place in Irvine. Not sure if either are the one avlnch is referring to.

I used detailers domain in jersey right off the gwb. The most thorough and professional shop I've worked with. They are pretty big with the porsche crowd in the tristate. Only had the f10 done there with full detail and opticoat too. Will have all my cars there from now on.

A quality matte clear wrap of a while car should cost $5-8k.
If they are doing it for a lot less than that it won't look great because they will have to take lots of shortcuts to get it done at a lower price. It's not a one day job. My clear bra on my Monte Carlo Blue M5 was a one day job. The guy was working on it for about 9 hours and it is immaculate.

If I'm not mistaken, the Manhart MH5S promo car has a "frozen" wrap:
