I've been meaning to post a thread with pics from when I wrapped my car this summer just haven't had the time. It did take hours upon hours to complete, but when it was done I was happy with the results. Strongly recommend it to anyone considering it. Let me know what you guys think!

Well the vinyl is said to last up to 10 years under proper care, but I will probably replace it years before that anyways. As long as the car is properly maintained, there wont be any issues. Plus is a fraction of the price compared to paint.Originally Posted by rjfg
Looks good. Does the vinyl have the same issues matte paint does?

What are the downsides of this with the paint if any? I know a long time ago certain stuff left on paint would ruin it. But I don't see why this would harm the paint.

wrap is easier to take care off but if hit a rock and it peels, theres really nothing u can do.
Probably try to plaster if with a small portion of wrap? Its pretty obvious still.
If its paint and it chips, u can just use touch up camouflage it.

Yeah but its cheap to replace the wrap if it gets damaged because you will only need to rewrap the section that has been effected. But on the up side, I've had this wrap on my car since the first week of August and she's my daily and I have yet to have any peeling or major rock chips.Originally Posted by mel1888

Yeah this was my first time at vinyl wrapping! I just watched a ton of videos and gave it a shot. It probably took about 15-20 hours in total but I really took my time to try to get everything perfect Originally Posted by beetle_orange
Was it your first time wrapping? How long did it take?
looks great!!! i'm in the process of doing my gsr as well. i'm doing it in segments though. so far, i have the hood, roof, and the two front fenders done. i'll do the doors last. next up is my front bumper, trunk, and rear bumper.
