This brand new black 2014 BMW F10 M5 came into our shop back in November. Like most car enthusiasts, the owner wanted to add his own personal touch to his new ride. He came into our office and after discussing the many possible options available, he decided for a full vehicle color change, and to add on a few subtle changes. We wrapped this 2014 BMW F10 M5 in Matte Lime…
We were very excited to receive this beautiful Harley Davidson Softail motorcycle. Our client – obviously invested in individualizing her ride with its own custom paint job – came to us for a custom xpel ultimate clear bra installation. As many of you know, Harleys are assembled in an elaborate and intricate manner, making a clear bra installation equally difficult. Unlike most clear bra installations, we had to disassemble the…
Very rarely will you see a Gold car driving down the road in Los Angeles! Of course, in Russia or Dubai, you might see them more often, but definitely not in the streets of Los Angeles. Our client, singer Bleona Qereti, is currently making her American Debut and has had singles with known Producers such as Timbaland, and Rodney Jerkins to name just a few. She needed to make a…
This factory matte silver CTS-V came in for the black out package. We cannot count how many times we have done this package for a variety of cars, from Mercedes C-class to a Range Rover to a Ferrari 458.

I wish I snapped a picture of every single vehicle, but unfortunately my hard drive would go into overload. Here are a few of our favorite rides. Enjoy! Bentley Continental GT on Forgiato Wheels. Lamborghini Aventador…
As of recent, the term Frozen Gray has more of less become a common term in most of our households. At least for those that have some idea about cars or BMW’s. The Frozen Gray term is actually a paint finish that originated back as early as 2003 when BMW released their E46 M3 CSL. This was a factory paintjob, Gray in color but almost flat and satin in finish….
We often get a loaded question when customers call and ask, “Will the paint be affected after I remove a vinyl wrap?”. This is a loaded question because it depends on a variety of factors, and it would be untrue for us to simply say “Yes”, even though that is the ideal situation. If the car has OEM paint, and not a respray, in almost 99% of the cases the…
This Nissan GTR came straight from the dealer to our shop for a full front Xpel Clear Bra job. While the dealer did offer a leather bra, no client in their right mind would want to install a hideous leather “bra” that covers up all the beautiful details and body lines of a brand new exotic. Especially with some raw cow hide! The Xpel Ultimate clear bra paint protection film…
It is a common misconception that Vinyl Wraps are for your Exotics or Sports cars only. When people visualize a vinyl wrap, the first thing that comes to mind is a bright neon color that looks awesome, but at times calls for too much attention. It’s our duty at Unique Auto Films to shed some truth on this topic. First of all, Vinyl Wraps come in almost any color you…
Full color vehicle wraps are the trending things these days. To stick out of the crowd…or shall I say the roads, one huge modification is to completely change the color of your car. Whether it be matte black, satin white, or even matte bronze, people are doing whatever they can to be different. Would you ever be able to tell that this car before was WHITE? In order to properly…
It’s no surprise we have been protecting a notable amount of Tesla S’ even before they were nominated the Car Of The Year. It’s aggressive, yet well composed body lines and arches perceive well as a work of art, or maybe just a work of Elon Musk. The desire to protect the original finish and paint should be a no brainer, especially for those commuting daily in Los Angeles. We…
We recently had a Porsche Cayenne Turbo client come in to accessorize subtle details of his SUV with Carbon Fiber accents. After careful discussion with the client, we agreed it would be best to wrap the roof, door handle inserts, and the B & C pillars, trunk spoiler and hatch with 3M Scotchprint Carbon Fiber. This retained the original look of the Cayenne Turbo, while bringing out the details…
It’s a common misconception that Clear Bra paint protection is only for preserving museum quality vehicles. While true to a certain extent, more and more enthusiasts are choosing to protect their investment whether it’s to protect their paint during daily commutes, or driving events such as track and drift days. We equipped this clients Camaro ZL1 with the Xpel Ultimate Paint Protection Film. The Xpel clear bra is one our…
Our Black Out Package is perfect for those looking for a subtle change that will make a major impact. We get many calls from automotive owners looking to get rid of the chrome accents on their factory cars. Normally an additional feature only available for an extravagant dealer cost, it’s a feature most opt out of for a good reason. The owner of this brand new Lexus ES330H wanted to…
This is an amazing video that we thought all of our clients and future clients would enjoy. It explains the installation and benefits of clear bra paint protection.

This 2014 Audi S5 was dropped off by one of our local Audi dealerships directly from the port. By the time, the vehicle arrived at our shop, it had only 37 miles on the odometer! Our client wanted a full clear bra package and ceramic tint to protect their investment. We also added a performance module that added an additional 101hp on top of the factory 333hp, bringing total power…
We tinted this 2014 Mercedes SL550 with 50% ceramic tint. The client wanted a factory look with some minor privacy and a tint percentage that didn’t degrade visibility, especially at night. With summer in session, the ceramic tint really kept the interior of this beautiful car cool and keeps your valuables out of sight.
We recently applied clear bra paint protection and tint to our client’s brand new Porsche Cayenne S. We tinted the tail lights in a very light smoked film to mimic the slightly darker tail lights of a Cayenne GTS and Turbo S. As you can see, this option is very elegant and classy and not traditional to the standard “smoked” or “blacked out” look currently on the roads. Since our…
Below you will find a couple pictures of a damaged Porsche Turbo S front bumper with a vinyl wrap. Client gave me a call requesting to have the bumper repaired and rewrapped. Took off the vinyl wrap and to our surprise, there was not a single scratch on the bumper. The only issue was, the area “damaged” had minor indentations from all the pressure. Even though vinyl wrap is not…
This beautiful Estoril Blue BMW 328i came in today for ECU tune and headlight tint. The slightest tint for the headlights was enough to tone down the majority of the chrome in the housing. This subtle modification is definitely classy and elegant and it’s an option we let all of our customers know. The performance module we installed awoken the car. This tune takes the vehicle from it’s a measly…

In Los Angeles, clear bra is…
Our client with a Mercedes Benz E63 AMG came in for our special ‘Black Out’ Package. Meaning….take the car from it’s ordinary bland look into a complete stealth look. With this specific car, we vinyl wrapped all the chrome trim in a gloss black vinyl, powder coated these special Vorsteiner wheels in gloss black, and painted the AMG calipers in the SLS ceramic brake line gold to contrast with the…
We recently took this Mercedes Benz C63 AMG from a gloss white to a matte military green car wrap by giving it a full vehicle wrap. Along with the vinyl wrap, we painted majority of the chrome accents matte black and vinyl wrapped the aluminum trim to a matte black vinyl wrap.

ECU Tuning Group brought their brand new 2013 Bentley GT V8 Mulliner in for adjustable lowering links, ceramic window tint, and clear bra paint protection. With the lowering links, we were able to drop the car a good 1.5” without compromising comfort and drivability. It’s amazing how much the “look” of a car can change with a simple lowering modification. The dual pane windows in the Bentley Continental GT already…
