They put vinyl over the silver instead of doing a white paint job?

 

Yep, click on the link. Crazy.

 

have you never seen this before or something?

 

I haven't damn, do this to my car I need a paintjob bad

 

my friend matte black vinyl'd his whole 350Z. he offered to do my 8 for 2k. Don't have the cash, but vinyl is legit

 

this is absolutely RETARDED!
2k to wrap your car? what a waste of money...

I can understand a vinyl layover on the roof or certain small parts but THE WHOLE DAMN CAR?
washing the car would suck and you're f00ked if someone scratches the vinyl up.

 

2k was half off too hahaha.

he got his done for free though, grr

 

The workmanship is definitely impressive from the pics... I'd like to take a first-hand look but I'm also curious about the reasoning... granted it's cheaper and less labor-intensive than a paintjob, but how long would it last?

EDIT ~ Scratch my post, didn't see the replies... **** that

 

Vinyl in person is pretty amazing. I'm not sure how long it would last. But you could also peel it off whenever you wanted, thats a plus too.

 

i wanna do my roof but i cant seem to find anyone near me who does it

 

I have never seen it before and I don't really think it's feasible but a shop did it so it definitly markets their ability. Pretty impressive if you ask me.

 

looks like they did a hell of a crazy *** job!

 

heres my friends Z:

Before:



(he's on the right)

After: with some decals, and the left certain parts silver



and now! silver and vinyl :

 

i know an owner of this body shop who owns a gtr did the same thing.

 

here it is.

First time I've seen this.

Impressive work.

 

I've honestly considered having my RX8 covered in matte black vinyl. It would certainly be easier than a paint job.

The main aspect is you can always go back to the previous color. Not that I would want to but it's an option.

 

This place is one of, if not the best place to get car wrapped. I think they quoted me 3,500 for my car in matte black. Its really a good deal if you do it right when you get your car so that way years down the road when you go to sell you peel it right off and have a pristine paint job underneath. They do alot of high end cars for this reason.

wow ive only seen the top of the roof vinyled thats pretty crazy, i just wouldnt do it

 

i might actually go to dallas just to get my roof wrapped

 

I've done vinyl work and can tell you that doing the entire car perfectly takes a lot of time and skill. You can almost get an idea from the photos. So glad they decided to take of the fake carbon fiber vinyl from the hood, mirrors, and strakes. Nasty!

Nice to see a RX-8 representing a shop though. They have good taste in the car.

 

my question is why white??? If you're gonna have a free vinyll job done why not take advantage of it and get something that is different. Just another example or someone with money but no personality of creativity... If I were to walk up to that car and the owner would say "ohh yeah its a vinyl wrap" I would say, "soo? couldnt tell and dont care its white..."

 

I guess the answer would be, why not? To each their own.
I do like what they did with the front oil cooler area. Though not sure how it looks close up.

 

I like it, but one scratch and your fucked
