Default I need a Favor

Can anyone measure the length of the sideskirts, length and width of the top of the spoiler and width and height of the front lip of the nismo.

I'm trying to order some vinyl to wrap them but right now my car is on a different continent.

i will advise you to vastly overshoot, you need a pretty good handfull of excess material to properly wrap things.. its not a simply sticker.. its more like saran wrap.. just a heads up in case you are trying to order just enought... the overall width of a 350z is about 70 inches.... if it were i wrapping a nismo wing blade, id imagine 90-100 inches wide of material would allow hands from you and a buddy to hold and stretch as you squeegee...same rule of thumb for the skirts and nose.. i tried your method too.. i learned ALOT in the process of trying to wrap.. you will throw away a TON of material cut fromthe edges.. any less and you will be stretching the heck out of it and trying to get parts you touched to adhere back down.. leaves a ton of imperfections etc. It deforms weird when it bubbles or gets too hot during a stretch.

where u at btw? Rammstein? Mil?

I'm in Baumholder. It's about 30 minutes south of Ramstein.

I have a friend that does vinyl and stuff but I can find a better deal on the vinyl on here. I just need to have enough for him to work with.

Interesting I just dropped off my Nismo for shipping to Ramstein--it'll be there early July. I see from some of your other posts your coming back to the states--so what's the z community like over there in k town? My wifes in Stuttgart and not many z's down there.

My Z is still in the US. I bought it on leave after deployment and didn't bother to ship it to germany because I would have had to pay to ship it because I have another car here. I only had 5 months left here after I bought it.

I don't see many Z out around here. I've seen 3 totaled. 2 different 03-06's and one 370 nismo.
