Damn bummer you cant give us a current status update on the condition of the wrap. How was its condition by December? Still like like new? So the Jams were not wrapped into at all huh? Thanks.

That is beautiful. What happens with rock chips and things like that? Will they tear through the wrap easily?

I would assume it'd more durable and has a better tendency to absorb the impact. I could be completely wrong, but being vinyl, I would say it wouldnt rip as easy as you would think.


The car looks great. I think with most things in matte finish it's either a love it or hate it situation for most people.

I would like to give a VERY special thanks to Vinyl Styles. The entire car is a matte black vinyl wrap. It's an 8-10yr. vinyl that is washed/taken care of by using a mixture of water & baby shampoo & a micro fiber because there is no ammonia in baby shampoo.

They are located in the Bay area & are amazing! These guys are a pleasure to deal with & I would recommend them to anybody looking to to do any amount of vinyl work on their car!

If you use him for ANY vinyl wrapping, I guarantee happiness. The work is superb & he won't let you leave until your car is perfect..This past weekend I went to MFest, my car was put up next to some of the most beautiful M cars around & EVERYBODY gathered around my car no matter where it was..Nobody believed it was a wrap, they all thought it was painted.

Cost: $3,000. I know this seems steep to many ppl but think about it like this:

-It's cheaper than a paint job
-It doesn't depreciate the value of the car (as a paint job would)
-It protects your paint
-Your paint is just as good as the day the vinyl went on.
-A clear bra for the front end can easily run $1,000














Updated: A few pics of the install:

























Loving this. I think Vinyl is awesome. Still waiting to see how well it wears.
