+1 for this
Mike is cyber grey metallic and you cannot tell it has a film on it!
Definitely check out other work the installer has done before having them wrap your car.

That's the right way to install it. Any other way I wouldn't accept it .

I have Suntek and like others state you don’t know my car is wrapped unless I show you a few areas where it’s just tough to cover without a seam. The key is the installer and not the film. No way I’d let that guy install film on my car. The Expel installer in my area wasn’t very good which is why I went with Suntek.

Unfortunately, I am not impressed with the installation from your pictures.. My detailer/Installer wrapped the edges. You have to look close and actually feel the car to notice its there.
