Vinyl wraps are not new, and can be made in any color or design that you can imagine.

to the OP: car looks sweet bro.

you guys have to realize that this vinyl wrapping isn't something you can do yourself, a shop has to professionally install it. Designing it is the easy part; actually wrapping a car is a fair amount of work. As I said earlier, figure $2500-$4000.

you are also on the other side of the globe (assuming your location tag is correct). If there is a domestic place that will do a quality job for $1200 I would like to know, I have done a number of these for clients (I'm a graphic designer and do contract marketing development) and I know what it usually costs.


...unless you mean 1200 Dinars, which would be roughly $3000 US.

End product looks surprisingly good, but I think I saw some red peeking out between the lower front chin and the front bumper toward the passenger side ???

Heres a few pics of the rear and as you can see I removed the stock spoiler as well as a few other parts



now all you have to do is smoke the tail lights and turn signals and you are golden, I would go with a different, matte black wheel though without a chrome lip then you have completely gone to the dark side..... sick whip
