Default Had my hood and trunk wrapped in matte black

First pics are from my iPhone as I forgot my camera.

Also, it's going back next week to get the third brake light wrapped so it looks like a lip spoiler, and then just cut out where the led's are on the light.















(the "H" emblems will be painted flat black)

Looks like they did a good job but why do a wrap? IMO painted is always better but to each his own.

If I do do the whole car.. the body is going to be wrapped in a brushed aluminum vinyl. It looks BAD ASS. One of the owners has his 335i wrapped in it.

Why not paint? Because I can pull it off, and the stock paint be there. They vinyl will stay for years, and if I get tired of it.. I can pull it. Paint is permanent.

Hanzel, PM me if you want something done! I don't own the business.. but am good friends with the owner. Shop grand opening is in January.

How do you go about cleaning it after driving in the rain or something? How well will the vinyl hold up when exposed to the elements? Looks awesome btw.

Simple damp microfiber towel cleans everything up perfectly... super low maintenance. Life expectancy is a LONG time. It's about as thick as clear bra, and will last at least 2-3 years if well taken care of.


Thanks for the comments! If I do the whole car.. it'll be around $2500 more (for the vinyl I want). So... no yet
