Is the rear wrapped in what looks like gloss black separately? How much further does the clear area go beyond he design? Looks like it goes beyond the door onto the front fenders. Does the clear allow the base color to show thru?
I ask because I dabble with wrapping and think I might try the whole car someday and like to understand the design and application process.
it’s a masterful design and application.!!!
The car is yellow and I already had the halo and top wrapped before I decided to do this. The graphic is printed on clear, and then applied. So the yellow from the car shows through. Both sides are symmetrical, and the back is wrapped in gloss black separate.

The clear wrap only goes up to the doors. That little part just on front of the door on the fender is like a clear back sticker.

Had it 2 days, and cost just over 2k. I did ask them to rush it though as I was going on a rally to Knoxville from Detroit last weekend.

Looks great on the tail of the dragon!
