yeah i put down 10k and my parents are helping me pay the rest since im playing soccer in college. but they said it would take a week until everyones insured under the car.

 

lucky *******. I had to work and earn my money myself

 

Yeah some of it was from selling my civic but i also did other small jobs to earn money. And everything i got for my birthdays and whatnot i just saved. I was looking for a job because i thought i was done with soccer but then the coach called and talked me back into it and my parents were happy so they said theyd help me with the car since i was back into soccer

 

Mom: If you wrap my car son I will wrap you in the head.

 

Murda, where you at in AZ and how much do you charge for doing a wrap?

 

pm'd

 

thread contents= my obligatory picture post.



I chose to wrap the sheet metal to retain the paint beneath, door jambs etc. I may try to wrap the body kit later on.. for now, the semi gloss paint will do.






I have heard flat white is hell to maintain, and in Irvine? Dude, its gonna turn dingy after one summer. Dont do it.. flat black wrap is actually very easy to keep clean too. Its quite slick, its a good finish.

 

OT: anymore pics of the roof overlay?

 

 

nice looking car, i like that roof.

 

If u find somebody to paint you car matte anything for 3-5k then it will be done shitty...they run 8-10k and are very difficult to maintain...3k for a wrap is a pretty good price is done right

 

i agree.. except its suuuper easy to maintain if you do wrap.
Its plastic, and a duster just slides right over that stuff.. plus its already not shiny, so "day after carwash dust" doenst even show.. car always looks "clean".. until i dust it, then it looks REALLY CLEAN.

I just stopped over at Vivid racing and asked about having the painted veilside parts wrapped to match the rest of my car.. we shall see when i get my quote back. But thats for another thread..

OP.. assume 3k for a wrap on a stock bodied car and you will be very happy w the results.. you will want flat black, played out or not, its still dope.

 

yeah my buddy does car wraps and he has a matte black altima coupe and it looks dope, plus when he washer that damn thing there are noooo water marks cuz they wipe right off...lucky bastard!

 

Yeah maybe matte black will look better thanks for the info.

 

Hell to the nizzle! that flat white m3 on the first page looks awesome! I think i'm going to have to find someone in Europe that does it.

 

that roof overlay is badass.

 

heres my JDM 350Z in Flat white.. i wrapped it myself
i have done the top too .. didnt snap pics yet

 

As much as WE could bash on OP for mommy and daddy issues here, the professor in me says this kid and his folks seem to have the right idea....him playing soccer in college saves 5x the damn cars value on scholarship. Well played son! Sounds like a boy who has his priorities straight, good on ya!

 

Devil more pics Please

I am planning(thinking) on doing a matte white wrap on my PPW with Redline in Tampa. Talked with Justin for 30 mins on thursday. Very nice guy very informative. Should be a couple moneths before I do.
