New look for my Z.
Original DSOM, now matte metallic grey. I've had mixed reviews but most seem to like the new scheme.
Old look
New look.

Looks great. Who did the wrap? Is the rear fascia wrapped as well or painted?

According to this link, flying buttresses help to reduce drag: 'Ferrari's 599 GTB Fiorano has flying buttress B-pillars designed to channel air to the rear as well -- these help to reduce drag [source: Classic Driver].'.
The ones on ZSS2148's car seem to be too close to the window - there's no gap - to be effective.

I can dig it.
I'd have passed on doing the rear quarter duct area in black, personally. Leave that to the Porsche guys. Considering your new profile/roofline with those hatch-additions, it seems like the lower sections of the halo could go gloss black to corroborate the shiny glass, and help emphasize the modified roofline/window interplay.

Are you referring to the flying buttresses? Those can be found on the Callaway C16 and the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano.

The skirts actually are close to perpendicular to the car. Haven't touched them on anything. Even went over a few small speed bumps lately.
The diffuser is an APR part.
I can dig it.

I've had the rear and roof/halo wrapped for over a year now. Holds up well. The front stripe never seemed to get any chips or tears either.

car wash or any powerwashing. Sponge bath only. Just turned down a new car wrapped in matte white! A chick from detail shop that see these wrapped cars told me to forget it!
But this looks badass!
