roughly how much did it run you to wrap the whole car?

$600 for material.

DiNoc for the CF and 1080 Scotchprint for the blue metallic gloss and gloss black.

I still have some gloss black left over and some blue (not wide enough for the skirt, I keep this on standby in case I get any rips or tears on smaller panels.

A buddy of mine at Revomods and LTProductions hooked me up.

Working overtime. Sorry guys, will have to wait until later tonight or early tomorrow morning.

P.S. I appreciate all the support! You guys are great!

I can agree with most of the opinions here... What I love about the Z4 is its crazy angles... and although the sideskirts look way better now, I still think that the hood is a little too busy, the car's angles already give it a somewhat dramatic appereance (when done right) that adding more dramatic stuff (matte vs gloss) will cause a bit of an overwhelm to the eyes resulting in a rather unpleasant experience.

I'm a firm believer that less is more, and for me, the car has to have one main focal point, once you start putting stuff here and there your eyes don't know where to go. And I think you're going the right direction, I like the fact that you like to think outside the box

With that said, I believe that following the line that you started in the front bumper (on top of the grill) all accross the car will give it a nice contrast, in comparision with the gloss.

Lower it, get some wheels and you'll be golden

Definitely an improvement, although I can see how it looks plainer than your old approach. If you're going to do the bottom in a different color, you might want to try to follow the lines of the aero skirts:

Thanks. Not sure about the lowering, but wheels is definitely on the card along with red seats and new headlights (Have a set of spyder halo hid headlights sitting in a box in my garage)

Thanks for the tip! I was going to work on it today but I will wait for more input (like yours).

Not my cup of tea. But if you love it, just own it. Thats all that matters. Props for not being deterred by peoples comments etc though.

[SwissArmy]

Thinking about M6 reps or maybe BBS RS. What do you guys think?

Lol by the time your finished the car will look like what strangers on the internet have invisioned for you. Mod for yourself not what people you don't even know want you to do, don't be a sheep.

With that said i agree with what everyone has said lol.. But you seem to have a unique style so run with it.

I hear ya. But I do understand what they meant by the sides. Though I don't realllly like how they look now, I plan on adding my touch to it. At the end, it WILL be better than the sides being completely wrapped in CF
