Japan trip would be great, wrapping more cars, not so great.

I wanted to vinyl 1 spoke, but didn't want to make authentic look knock off. lol Needless to say the originals Advan is painted on.

Not sure what you mean by paint but the front bumper fitment on the Z is slightly off. I have to re-drill/widen the screw hole by the fender. It's about 3-4mm from perfect.

Nice work! Do you think it would be possible to black out the door handles with that stuff?

Looking really clean. As others have mentioned wondering about cleanliness and how do small imperfections appear? I understand you may not have the answer being that your cars most likely have zero rock chips etc.......

Thx for sharing

It's possible, may require some manipulating and planning to get it seamless.

I almost wanted to wrap my car red cause of your shiny red Z.

Minor door dings will become less noticeable, tiny chips (1mm diameter) will disappear. Dents and large paint chips will show. It's just like bodywork, if it's not smooth then it will be difficult to hide with paint. Vinyl works the same way, body work has to be pretty decent.

My front is off paint and fitment. I was just trying to make myself feel better. I know you wont want to, but You should pm me a quote to do my Z.

These wrap threads make me want to wrap mine pretty bad. My 06 Z is Super Black and I want to keep it black so I'll probably just wrap over it in gloss black.

Gloss wrap is not as glossy as paint and also has an orange peel effect if you look up close at the surface. I'm redoing the Z in satin due to this reason.
