I wrapped my whole car in Gloss white (Used to be Berlina Black). It was quite a pain in the ass to say the least.

Here are some pics of the car:

Did we just get a jackal reference?

By god we did.

Would love to see a review. Perhaps I will give that a try. If not CF or a CF warp. I was looking for a post of someone who put all the parts and connectors for the ECM mounts and wires. I can't seem to find it anymore. I know I read it last night. Anyone else read it?

My S2000 and my NSX are both completely wraped in 3m paint protection film. The 3m material is actually surgical grade urethane. It looks fantastic, and does an excellent job of protecting the paint. It's not as expensive as paint, but it will cost a considerable sum to do the whole car. It's imperative that you have someone highly qualified to do the application of the film when doing the entire car if you want to be pleased with the quality. Downside: cost. Upside: if you have a vehicle with pristine paint (or close to that) and actually want to drive the car, paint protection film is the only option.

Here's some photos of the work I've done so far with the wrap. I only get about 1 day a week to work on it- and it is very time consuming. OVerall the quality doing it myself with a buddy has been great. And it looks great all together. I just need to finish up the back bumper and quarter panels. I even installed smoked out turn signal lights which look nice with the overall blacked out look.
It's hard to get used to at first-but once you get the hang of it, the wrap is more manageable to work with (Notice I didn't say easier). The best way I've been doing it is to heat up a good portion of wrap and stretch it flat across the panel. Doing so without causing creases or stretching too much that the area around it is going to be uneven.

ALSO the front bumper took me and my friend 9 hours..
He's a mechanic for 10 years, and I'm pretty good with these things.
So that's just a ballpark area if you're new to wrapping.
