Yes please get a picture. Also were did u buy yours at?

I bought it from somewhere here on the forums for ~50 bucks. I had the choice of gloss or satin black, i got satin and i that is the only thing i regret

Also, halfway through it the paper got wet so i had to cut it and start from the opposite side. I thought i was doomed but it turned out great

Love the result

although I would prefer gloss over satin on my car. What's the size of your vinyl? Did it come with 1 big piece or several pieces? How would you rate the difficulties for installation on a scale of 1-10?

it was a 48x65" single sheet, i ended up cutting mine though. It was probably like a 6 out of ten. You just need two people and a lot of soapy water. It seemed harder while doing it, but it came out great

I think I might have to do this as well. It looks amazing. Which type of black do you have on the above car? Is that glossy or satin type. I'm on my Iphone so it's tuff to tell lol.
