Although I like the idea of a vinyl wrap, there are a few aspects that really turn me away from them. Materials are expensive, roughly the same as buying quality paint. You said you got all the materials at a bargain for $600, which doesn't really seem like a bargain to me. It's a very difficult, time consuming task and might not adhere in certain areas and imperfections will show if the paint under the wrap isn't a consistent color. Lastly, vinyl wraps are said to only last around 4 years (of course I'm sure there are exceptions). I just don't see how forking out a little more money for a quality paint job that lasts way longer doesn't make more sense in the long run.

I'm not trying to bash on your decision, the car looks amazing and I can appreciate all the work you put into it to make it happen. I also realize that a huge plus to vinyl wraps is being able to preserve the original paint on the car. I just personally don't think a vinyl wrap would be worth it unless materials were under $300 total considering all the downfalls.

Depends on the wrap itself, If you do it or a shop does it, Same goes for paint. Reason I'd do a wrap is if I was going with crazy designs, You can have a wrap that looks like a 10k paintjob for half the price.

Very true, didn't think about that. I was speaking more in terms of doing one solid color. Of course if you go cheap and get a single stage paint job from Maaco with shitty prep work, it won't last either. I dunno, pro's and con's for each situation

soon my friend.


well the high rise is back off again, I have two trunk lids. one for the spoiler, one without. both wrapped. I was running 20mm spacers. I've pulled the rear fenders a little more and got them paper thin. I have 15mm spacers in the rear now with a tad bit of camber. also the rears are 17x10.5 now no good pictures yet. but soon my friends.

I have two trunk lids as well, Thats the way to do it!
