    If you're looking for a full wrap, don't do it. Vinyl sucks.

    I've called Freestyle and they won't do it for me.
    I'll try Tinting illusions

    They're certainly big, but I don't know if they are the BEST I've tasted.

    C is/was vinyl. BS was 3M. The vinyl on the C isn't look so good no more. However it was his winter beast.

    The c's vinyl started falling apart after a month. She's like a barstar right now, good from far, far from good!

    How much does doing something like this cost approx? I was thinking about a matte black wrap. Just so damn bored of the Z, so was thinking of doing something different to it, to make me like it until next summer.

    ^ When I inquired last year, it was ~4500 for a full wrap

    Yeah, wraps aren't cheap. Vinyl material usually gets charged out at $10-20/6"-1' wide strip.
    Times that by how much you need to wrap your entire car, plus labour, plus graphic design and/or printing of said graphic as well...

    Adds up fast

    vinyl on my truck is about a month old and is already starting to peel. Thankfully I can fix panels by myself so it's not so bad. I'd get rid of it, I just REALLY don't want to deal with any residue and shit left on it after it comes off.
    We stopped checking for monsters under our beds when we realized they were inside us.

    If anyone here does this, is decent at it or knows can do it, give me a shout. I got a nice ass 350z that you can use as a canvass. I wouldn't mind paying something reasonable of course. Just don't wanna spend anything ridiculous on a car that I feel like getting rid of every other day. :d

    That's 350 at tinting illusions when I asked them. Not sure what it'll be now since they are with Shadow. Can't be too much off.

    ^^ it also depends on the size of your roof too, depending where you go to get it done!

    Yes it depends on the size of the roof I am sure. The quote was for my Z and it included everything. It was 350 for cf wrap and 300 for matte, I believe.

    What do you find reasonable? The materials are really expensive and takes a shitload of man hours.
