    This customer wanted a completely custom look for his F430. This is what we delivered. A complete color change from Grigio Silverstone to flat black with carbon fiber accents and 3M Window Tint. When we got this car a couple of weeks ago we were determined to perform our installation better than any we have ever seen before. If there was a better way to do our installation, we were going to do it. This included removal of interior door panels, front and rear bumpers, headlights, marker lights, emblems, etc. allowing a perfect "wrap".

    Here you see the unassuming car getting washed up.

    This was definitely one of the most rewarding projects we have done in a long time. The customer was extremely pleased, and we couldn't be happier with the results.


    Thanks for looking.

    I wonder why someone would want to do that?

    You did a great job, don't get me wrong, but the final product seems quite dull compared to the original paint.

    I can see wrapping a ricer, but a Ferrari?

    Again, I cannot fault you at all for the quality of the work done, but a Ferrari should sparkle, and this one doesn't, at least not in the photos.

    Still, if the customer loves it, that's really all that matters: different strokes ...

    John, did you know that as a sponser you are not limited to the number of photos you could place on FerrariChat, attaching them to your posts? That means the viewers here could see them directly rather than having to click 50+ separate links to see each. When you post the text, scroll down a ways and click "MANAGE ATTACHMENTS" and load each.

    This full wrap job was completed over a month ago now and it's been tested in the sun, wind, and rain as I drive my car regardless of weather (heavy snow excluded). I have to say that I AM impressed with the material and more so the service I've received from Metropolitan Detail in Bellevue, Washington.
    So, I thought I'd take a few pictures today to make a post on Fchat to perhaps show the vehicle in an outside environment instead of mostly in the install bay and to say THANKS for the level of detail, service, and professionalism that went into this "seamless" wrap project.

    Carbon wraps parts include: front air dams, rockers, engine vents, racing stripe, rear diffuser, door handles, and a few other small parts...

    The rest of the vehicle was wrapped in matte black accented with smoked reflectors and brake lights.

    As an added touch, custom one off designs for the shields and the front hood emblem were made to finish off this monochromatic look.

    Such an aggressive looking car! I really like the look of it, and how it came out. Congrats, FLU, and props to John for doing great work
