How hard would you say wrapping the entire car is? Do you thing amateur like me with no experience can pull it off?

It took me 30 mins with trial and error plus a few cup of koolaid. Its very simple on flat surfaces and curves but when it comes to areas like the fog light it get very frustrating since you have to stretch the wrap. Wrapping your car can be done with as little as $500 and patience. I would recommend 3M, avery and vvivid wrap, with vvivid being the cheapest! Go on amazon for a better price for vvivid. Most wraps comes in 5ft by X amount. For a Brz youll need atleast 5ft by 50ft which makes it out to be 250sqft. vvivid has most of the matte wraps for $450 and its 5ft by 100ft. 3M and avery sells their wrap for alot more. I used all 3 brands and find them to be very similar with 3M coming up top. I would go with vvivid wrap if youre on a budget and you want something that can last up to 5-7 years if taken care of properly.

You could try a small part and see how it goes but if you screw up a whole car it can be a fair bit of $$$$$ down the drain.

Agreed^^

Patience and good quality wrap is the key.

Well it would be unique. Black on red looks good but not so sure how red on black would work out. Personally I think it would just look off somehow.

@BlackJesus

Any update on your wrap? What color did you go with? Where's the pics?

That matte orange though o_o

I've always loved orange as a colour for exotics ever since the sunburst Lotus Elises showed up.
