Thanks for the pics. Car looks great! I like alpine white as well but wife does not so we went with carbon black.

So any car paint/body shop would be able to do it? Won't the paint fade/flake off eventually? Do you find it's wearing well - in particular, the part inside the wheel wells?

(1) So any car paint/body shop would be able to do it? (2) Won't the paint fade/flake off eventually? (3) Do you find it's wearing well - in particular, the part inside the wheel wells?

(1) Yes, I would imagine so

(2) Yes, but it really depends on you use your car. I had another car (quite a few years ago) that had a similar mudflaps and they only started to flake off at the bottom because they scraped steep driveways and big speed bumps. And it took quite a few years before it started flaking off. So I am not too concerned here because the only off road I will be doing is on my lawn.

(3) inside is not painted, if that is what you meant?

Yes I meant the inside - so it's not painted... that makes sense. Thanks for the info!
