Hey Stephanie
I have a black grand from back in 2012, that basically, I wore the finish off in places, revealing the aluminum color underneath. The J-Wrap I used is the "carbon fiber" one, although they have quite a few choices.
I can't say if the surface is marred in any way underneath, since I've never tried to remove it. I'm quite happy with the results, although, as you can see from the pics below, the front edges along the door, and the top of the REO aren't covered by it.

Your picture helps so much!! Yours looks really sharp!!!
I can tell then that this isn't one piece wrapped around 3 sides. Which to me makes it easier to put them on. Would be cool to do the doors of my mini with one of these, too!
Thanks so much!

I just ordered three of the clear.
The template is below. 1 large body piece, 1 door piece w/ hole and a small rectangular bottom piece.

Oh.............Well that's good to know!
I've been fiddling all morning Paint Shop Pro trying to picture which one I want..........lol I'm not a HUGE fan of red, but I just bought a red one from the classifieds..........I love turquoise, blue and green and have my other mods accented with those colors (as you can see in my avatar), so I'm tring to pick ones that would compliment the rest (yeah, I know I have a problem......lol). I've got it narrowed down to these 6.
I like those for it as well, but it's you that has to like it not us.Bottom left, top left, and bottom right get my vote
How the front look. I was going to pick up the same one
I really like it. I've had this one for several months and it replaced one of the carbon fiber wraps.
As for application...the first one I did was on a mirror smooth finish. I had some issues with the corners peeling back but cutting them at a slight angle fixed it. For this wrap I roughed up the finish really good with some 320 grit sandpaper. That really helped hold it on there. I've dropped this multiple times and it gets heavy daily use and the wrap is still like the first day I put it on. Dings and dents to the vinyl seem to be self healing. Very solid product.
The vinyl is very forgiving if you mess up. Just start in one of the upper corners and work your way around. If you mess up just peel it off (gently) and try again.
Is that an older REO with the less rounded back corners? I have been looking at these wraps for a long time. I think its time to dress up one of my REO's
