Default Black Halo *now updated rear bumper*

Hey everyone, just got my halo vinyl wrapped by fat dog wraps in Long Island. What do you guys think? It almost looks like oem to me.

Go to page 2 for pic of rear bumper.

I was going to mention the dumpster in the background also. It makes for an interesting backdrop.
Your car is really beautiful

I don't know much about this wrap. It looks great though! Do you just remove it if you want to return it to the original color?

3M makes different vinyl wrap products. Could you post specifically which they used? I'll be doing some wrapping and gathering info at the moment.

If I may be so crass, what did they charge for that job? Hoping not to offend by the question.
