Hard to see in pics, but they start on the hood, go over the roof, hatch, spoiler and end at the top of the rear clip above the plate mount.

I live in a high rise in downtown Chicago and all I have is a parking spot. I would kill for a garage like yours. Very nice man cave.

I like the satin finish with the clear coat, like the paint job on the 05 Pony

On YouTube, seach for XPEL satin/flat installs. Much less expensive than a paint job, obviously less permanent. The vinyl wraps are impressive.
