I didn't like Tanzanite until this moment. That looks phenomenal in a stealth wrap.

Would love to see some more. Are you coating with ceramic on top of the wrap?

The STEK PPF I'm using has a coating on it already, but my guy is adding ceramic on top of that anyways.

I think the big added benefit, that is in the sheer chance that something does happen to your car(wish we all wish wouldn't) but people are careless. The respray process and the matching would be way more difficult on a factory frozen color as opposed to doing a stealth wrap. Also with the wrap you can do it to any color, not just the 3 options BMW offers from the factory.

I really was hoping to see a Portimao with stealth, since that's on of the options I'm deciding between. So far I haven't found any. I also think Toronto red may potentially look really nice with the stealth.

I’m all for stealth wrap, but IMO, it’s not a fit for Toronto. Looks cheap.

Edit: maybe it’s the smoked tails making it look cheap.

I didn't like the rear pic either but the front looks good. Probably the smoked tail-lights like you said

100%. Toronto red should not be matte.

I was looking for a pic of this. Looks great, but I think I'm going to stick with a full ceramic coat instead of this. I'll be taking delivery in Nov/Dec so it'll be going straight from the dealership to the shop (rock chips and people in Vancouver really seem to love to door ding me)

That's what I decided to do as well! My Brooklyn Grey G80 is getting ceramic coated as we speak!
