Wrap looks good so far. You going to go with some flat black wheels when all is said and done? That would make for one helluva stormtrooper.

I'm gonna powdercoat them for sure. What I am not sure about is the color. I'll either go with gloss black or white. Hard decision! Gloss black would really set off the look with the black accents of everything else I plan to do. Got some more work done today...passenger side almost complete and bumper. Enjoy: -Beach |

Not to thread jack, but I have the gloss black roof and gloss black mirrors. With tint it really pulls the look together.

What's the cost of the wrap to do the entire car and where do you buy it? Does it lay on nice or is it more like tinting where you have to fight bubbles and wrinkles?
Car looks amazing, so jealous |

I did 5% All around Quote:
And that's what i've wanted since '06 (I'm not really a fan of the hatches)! Finally got the chance to do something about it. I decided to go matte because i knew i wouldn't be seeing anyone with a matte white '11 sedan! But the other main obvious reason was to paint protect! Not worried about swirling/polishing/waxing etc anymore! Quote:
TIME = MONEY$$ Never forget that one! I'm not gonna lie... It is not easy. Patience is KEY! It would be much easier to learn on a less aggressive shaped car first. Then work to something more complicated. It takes time to learn how to work the material and get an understanding on how it behaves. It's something i can't really explain. More like a hands on learning experience. Thanks though! Thank you! -Beach |

Just wanted to give you a heads up. Car is looking great by the way. I like the wing better, but it's all opinion :P. I like the subtlety of the flat white. Seems almost stock to the average person. It stands out without screaming "hey look at me!" |

Any opinions on the matte black emblem surround? I'm half and half... I kind of think it's not as clean looking as i had imagined.

Love the TMIC stencil in black. I just receivedine from forum user Thought and just need to pick up some red high heat rattle can and find the time to do it. Again, really like where you are going with this project. Everything is subtle enough to look stock, but if you know what you are looking at it all works together and stands out. Keep up the good work and keep the pictures coming. |

I don't like it very much to be honest so i won't be keeping it this way. And I actually painted it matte black. I'm going to be sanding the black off and vinyl wrapping it gloss black to see if it flows any better. If not, i'll just put the new chrome ring on. I'll try and get a picture of it on the car today and post it up just for reference, but i think it looks wierd just about the gloss black trunk trim I'm sure some will agree. -Beach |
