Looks nice. The toughest piece will be the front bumper with all its complex curves. When I had my 01S many yrs ago, I had a local company try to put a clear bra on it. They tried 4 times but always got wrinkles around the bottom outside edges of the headlights. They gave it back to me, said that was the best they could do, and don't come back. I imagine materials have improved in 14 yrs.
Like the color.

Im probably just going to do some inlays. The front bumper is the only part that concerns me.

I've been watching alot of videos about inlays on bumpers to make it easier. Hopefully that will help.

I like your threads...you're not afraid to try anything.
Keep up the good work sir! 
PS...if you have any spare headlights that were converted, let me know. Mine lens are burnt, and I'm not sure I'm confident enough to crack 'em.

IMHO the red is what makes your car a firecracker... an M80.
You sure have patience... I can't even saran-wrap a bowl.
I'm looking forward to hearing about the front and rear bumper wrap... 
Have fun!

Man that looks good! I’m excited to see the completed car. Are you emulating the factory green color? If so, it looks real sharp.
