Default C7 wrapped again

hi
just got back my C7 from wrapping.
it was mainly done for prevent paint damages in winter, and also because i do daily drive it and i hate to see a shiney gloss black car always dirty with rain and mud,
i'm really impressed by the final result tho, satin amplifies alot of lines from the C7 shape that in gloss you can't actually see.

here a small walkaround video:

Not usually a fan of a satin look on a car, but yours really looks great. The wrap shop did a very good job.

At my age it looks like something a cheapo neighbor kid did (primered) to his car until he scraped up the cash to paint it properly. But, to each his/her own.

I'm not normally a wrap guy. But I must say I like the mean and nasty look this one shows in the pictures.

So how do the door jams and engine bay look ? Not knowing a lot about the process, is the goal to do a wrap that will work with those areas so it does not look unfinished ?

Your car looks elegantly pissed off...good job
