Vinyl Wrap?
 

Is anyone considering wrapping their car?
I'm thinking of wrapping the brz matte white ; Possibly with some carbon fibre parts such as handles/mirrors.
Other than for looks it'll protect the stock paint from any douchebags wanting to key your car/ normal wear and tear

Lol I'm actually wrapping the car right when it comes out...my friend owns a vinyl sticker company and his going to help me wrap my car for SEMA :)

Not alot of people are going to like the color but I really don't care I like to be different ;)

:thumbsup:
What color??? haha

Not a bad looking wrap. Tell him to post that stuff in HD so we can get a better look.

I'm considering wrapping the roof in a flat black. Not interested in wrapping the whole car bc then the door and trunk jambs look weird.

A good quality wrap costs more than a decent paint job no?

I'll admit I know very little about wrapping, but wouldn't that cause the car to look funny later on down the road, since the non wrapped areas would have faded, or do you plan to leave the wrap on for the life of the car?

I have a giant 5' x 30' Carbon Fibre 3M wrap sitting in my house... I probably won't use it for anything on the BRZ though...

Depends on the quality of the wrap/paint job

A good wrap costs 3k, maybe less on a car this small. for me, I've never been impressed with the finish of full wrapped cars, they always have a few small imperfections. I could maybe see doing a few pieces here or there for style, I'm considering wrapping the interior silver dash pieces at some point, if I get bored/they have easy to work on contours.

So, how much weight does it add? ;)

As long as you dimple the wrap you'll make up for the weight with improved aerodynamic efficiency.

i think that was sarcasm..

Wouldn't mind wrapping just the hood in matte black. I just might do that down the road if it would be cheaper than painting, and if I don't like it I can take it off, or trade it. :thumbsup:

wrapping the whole car is not the best idea for several reasons:
1) it is very expensive [for what it is, 90% of cost is labor], unless if you have some am do a micky mouse job...
2) even if you get a pro to do it, it will never come out perfect...
3) people can still key your car, it will just tear through the vinyl, lol...

just get a legit pain job and call it a day...

wrapping certain parts of the car is cool though, like the interior trim pieces, hood, mirrors, roof, trunk, etc...

i plan to wrap the roof with di-noc myself when the time comes...
