Wow that does look good! Ive worked with a number of different wraps and it seems that once you heat them up with a heat gun they all become fairly simple so ill order some and see how it does on something smaller.

I found these that look pretty agressive. Anybody have them?

I think those are the same ones a friend had but he had his painted blue from his Nissan. I tried holding one on the front and it really didn't fit the curve well. But it may be a different set. Pretty sure it's the same. He had cut the tabs where it screwed on.

I have a set and did not like how it looked on the car. I was going to wrap mine with the carbon fiber wrap. I ended up using carbon fiber panels and cut and trimmed it to contour the XF body lines.
