OMG, looks sweet, never know you can wrap up the whole car. Would there be bubbles? does it wash like normal? Do you need to let dmv know you are changing color?

 

yeah thats the cheap vinyl material

 

no bubbles yes you can wash and wax it just like paint and for dmv i have no idea i have painted cars before and never inform them but good thing is this is not paint

 

Hmm, anyone have a matte black?

Not a G but BashaZ has his Z (with CF hood) wrapped in matte black...post 8-10
Who Needs 3M VINYL--Come to IMPORTEXPO - G35Driver

 

If I could just wrap the bumper, mirrors and hood in gloss black I wonder how that would look on my Obsidian Black G? It'd be nice to hide my chipped out mess on those three areas and have it protected from future chips too. It wouldn't cost a whole lot so maybe I'll just give it a try

lmao, maybe I will, hopefully it'll look better than those sideburns

 

Never understood the appeal of matte finishes and I can't believe you spent 3K on that; a nice set of wheels would have given way more bang for the buck.

 

i did it myself so only 1k

 

Mars, was it tough doing the bumper? And do you have to remove a lot of the trim to wrap the vinyl or do you just tuck it in the gaps?
BTW, this seems like a pretty good source for the vinyl, if you have a minute to check it out I was wondering if those prices are good and if the Oracle & 3M vinyls are of similar quality. Thanks for your help as I'm really considering wrapping at least the bumper and would like to hear from someone that's actually done it.

I like it! And props for doing it yourself! Are u the chick in the picture?

 

That's interesting, because I never understood people not seeing the appeal of matte finishes.



But I guess that's life though, people like and understand different things

 

i got my wrap from ebay:
3M Matte WHITE Vehicle Wrap Vinyl 60" x 15 yards | eBay
remember to get the 60" wide one so can cover the entire bumper in on wrap.
and also i use 3M only because they are the best.

 

whats the purpose of wrap?
