Vinyl wrapping?
Anyone ever look into vinyl wrapping services? I've seen a lot of cars in Japan starting to pop up in shows with hood wraps, I'm kinda tempted to have it done myself. They can even wrap a hood in a carbon fiber vinyl for a lot less than the cost of a carbon fiber hood.. might be kind cool.
Anyone else interested? I bet if we could come up with a few people we could get a group buy going or something

noooooo don't wrap a hood in fake CF...... not that i'm anyone to say not to do things to a car that you'll regret :: cough :: lambo doors :: cough :: but yeah... by now even high school girls know what CF is for and may very well punch you mid coitus and then pull those little beads out of you chainsaw style for wrapping your hood in fake CF
maybe that was over the top... in any case don't do it, we can start a pool to get you a real CF hood if need be but for god's sake man don't wrap your hood in fake CF
on another note though... good vinyl wont ruin paint it just keeps it from oxidizing as fast as the rest of the paint and it will leave a noticeable difference in as little as 6 months depending on the age of the paint job and i firmly believe you can in fact tastefully decorate a car with vinyl

My mate just did his whole car in the UK. It was dark metallic grey originally. Follow the link. I've been thinking about a ludicrous color for mine, seeing as I don't drive it that often.

high quality vinyl will act just like that 3m stuff that protects the paint, and if you take it off the paint will still be in pristine condition.

If you want to use some unique artwork for a wrap, that would be great, provided the artwork is decent.
+1 for the 350z.com stickers. I have them on my Z.

I got a few little things done from these guys. There the only ones i let tint any of my vehicles. Ive tinted about 8 cars so far from them flawless. But in any case they have full color vinyl printer. They tested out some of the cf wrap with the digital printer of theres. The one of there own personal cars (porsche) done in a few spots with it. Doesnt look to bad. Nothing id do on my own car lol. But i would definitly only see these guys about vinyl work. I pay to have my moms car detailed there pretty often. They do amazing work on that as well.
