Default 3M wrapped lower front bumper & door trim

hey guys new to the forum. just got a 06 ppw Z couple weeks ago. first thing i wanted to get fixed was the notorious wear on the door window finisher. was lucky to find a place around the corner from my work to do the job. also with the left over material i got the lower portion of the front bumper done. looks sleek. if anyone in the GTA area of ontario and wants to get this done the place is called SEKANSKIN. there on facebook so you can get a hold of them there.


** did get a knick in the bumper (was behind a construion rig truck and got a nice shower of rocks on my front end while on the hwy)

They look much better. I have an 06 also so I'm planning to wrap the two door pieces myself or just repaint them.

I've never been a fan of making things "imitate" something it's not, even for aesthetic parts. These wraps clearly look fake when viewed in person, but to each his own.

While I understand the lure of wraps, I question how the exterior trim will look after a short time. On the inside, you can get CF overlays for about $80 and they add the touch, feel and look of real CF. How much did the wrap cost?

i bought the car with these pieces damaged. i new in the back of my mind i would fix this issue as soon as i got the car. if u ask me or anyone that has seen them in person they think it looks amazing. u would assume thats the way nissan made the car. ANYTHING other than the stock material is an upgrade if you ask me. if you dont like how it looks u must be either very ****, or have no taste. also if i went oem it would of been double what i paid, and now i dont have to make sure my nails are cut lol. i got it done for 140 for the doors and bumper.

and also the intent was not to wrap them to make them look like carbon fibre. i just like how the pattern looks and its black to match the rest. i would of went brushed aluminum also if he had it.

I think this statement is SO far from the truth. Have you ever seen ricers before?

Anyways, I think the wrap looks good. I got CF covers on my car and love them, but I think either way is fine.

HAHAH
If it were real CF then maybe itd look decent.
But the wrap cost about $30 and you paid $140?!
a little more and could have gotten real CF i bet.
And as you should know...majority of oem parts are quality parts. so anything other then stock material is NOT an upgrade.

I think an eg or civic should have been your purchase choice

vvvvvvvv

Looks pretty nice and I plan to do the interior too. Do you know exactly which material they used for your interior?
