Talking LCI M2 with full XPEL Stealth wrap and Ceramic Pro

I picked up my M2 from my XPEL installer a couple days ago, and MAN am I blown away by the results. The installer wrapped the entire car in XPEL Stealth and then coated the entire car in Ceramic Pro. The installer did a phenomenal job. If anyone ever needs a wrap done in SoCal, I highly recommend you check out Premier Auto Armor. It is a small business run by Nick, yet Nick and his team placed second in the nationwide XPEL installer competition and first in California. His work was flawless, and my OCD self inspected the car from bumper to bumper upon pickup. I couldn't find a single edge uncovered, until I finally asked him "is there anything you couldn't cover?" and he pointed out two very minor gaps on the inside portion of the front grill that I could still barely see even after staring at them. Overall, it is the best wrap job I've ever seen. Huge props.

Anyway, here is the car! I'm really happy with how it turned out, and I'm also glad I chose to spend the extra $ for the Ceramic Pro. In addition to the protection, the Ceramic Pro coating actually brought out a little bit of the metallic sheen so that the car isn't totally matte. It looks matte from far away, but close up it looks matte with specks of metallic, so it has a bit more pop than it would have if I had not coated it with Ceramic Pro.

I have black gloss powder-coated OEM exhaust tips that I am installing today after work, so that is the one other mod that I'll be doing shortly. The windows are tinted with XPEL Prime in charcoal (it looks black, but the hue is charcoal). I must note that though I love these pics, I actually think the lighting makes the car look lighter than it really is. The car is a little bit darker, more of a gunmetal grey (similar to the fourth picture below), which I prefer.
