Getting mixed opinions on this grill i did.
Personally, I love it.

artsyFA5 · 09-02-2009, 09:11 PM

yessss....i want it now...im pming you

Eclipse GSX 61 · 09-02-2009, 09:25 PM

I like it. Did you guys try to clear any pieces yet?

jbell · 09-02-2009, 09:26 PM

Not yet. Still haven't had the time to get my hands on the plastidip.
I'm 90% certain that's the best bet.

RSX Type-Slow · 09-02-2009, 09:51 PM

looks sweet. do the lower grill and it'll really set it off.

nightblurr · 09-02-2009, 09:54 PM

it's diffornt, i like it

kcnizm0 · 09-02-2009, 10:05 PM

i want to see a whole car done in this. dooo it you wont!

240sxDann · 09-02-2009, 10:07 PM

I like it.

jbell · 09-02-2009, 10:08 PM

i have 4 appointments that are 'floating'...

they're all interested, some are local, some are in CA, but all want it done.
Some cars are in shops, some cars aren't delivered to their owners, yet, etc.

Nothing set in stone yet.

You want to see one, I want to wrap one.
I've wrapped cars, just not in the carbon before.

JDMTyler3326 · 09-02-2009, 10:09 PM

Looks awesome. That's a nice little touch.

TalonTsi97 · 09-02-2009, 10:11 PM

I like it, needs some more on the car to set it off but overall it looks good.
How much would it be to wrap a car est?

jbell · 09-02-2009, 10:15 PM

A full car is tough to say. It really depends on how big it is. You'd need to measure it, counting all the body panels that would be wrapped.

A guess would be guessing the sqaure footage of the car, multiplying that by something between 6 and 7 dollars and adding it all up.
Install cost depends on the car. Is it a box van or a 1st gen tiburon? One takes a few hours one takes 2 days.

Guessing is really impossible, haha.

artsyFA5 · 09-02-2009, 10:23 PM

i cant wait to get mine done

boostedfury · 09-02-2009, 10:27 PM

looks sick dude...but im feeling this should stay on the interior since its not clearcoated and flows more on the inside as a matte surface...whatya think?

CherryBomb · 09-02-2009, 11:19 PM

I'd love my dash and center console done. Seriously.

P_856 · 09-02-2009, 11:55 PM
