Don't you find the Sat dishes obscure your vision whilst driving around? Most people manage with free view in their cars, free sat is just stage to far IMHO :rofl:

Seriously though, I agree with Sanj, I think it looks a whole lot better than when I saw the chrome version pics on eBay.  Gives the X just a little more menace :grin:

Looks good now it's been de-chromed as the wrap blends it nicely so it's not so in your face.

Like it.

You need to black out the windows to complete the look...

That's pretty nice work... Do mind saying how much it cost and if that included the material.

he does all sorts of stuff. he wraps whole cars in any color and does wrapping on the headlights and taillights as well. thats my next step. he also was going to install my pedals too but apparently i have the wrong type. anyone has a source for ac schnitzer pedals? the ones i got might be for a E70. could an E70 owner take a pic of their pedals please to see if it matches?
