Custom Vinyl Wrap of my 2013 Mustang GT Update Post #16 - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

PhillyLS1 · 03-01-2013, 10:05 AM

MODS: I put this here in lieu of a member journal because I figured it was more help here. If it needs to be moved, I apologize.

I'm a hard man to please and even a harder man to impress. Over the years I've watched the vinyl car wrap industry come out of it's infancy. But I wasn't sure if it was for me. Then, on Mid-Atlantic Domestics Car Club - Official Website - A Mid-Atlantic Region Car Enthusiast Community! • Portal I saw the attention to detail N8V Comp took with a Matte Blue Terminator Cobra. Anyone who took the time to do what N8V did on that car was going to get my business. See more here: http://www.exoticvehiclewraps.com/wp...uemetallic.jpg

I called up N8V and spoke to them about my options. I have always wanted an Orange car. It's my favorite color, I'm a diehard Philadelphia Flyers fan, and the Orange colors of the muscle car days combined with the killer 5.0 platform I felt would be a winning combo. It's not that I don't like the Sterling Gray, but I wanted something different. Sterling Gray is pretty common and this is going to be my last car for a WHILE. So I better make it good right?

The mods on the car currently are a Vortech V3, Vortech Tune, Borla Catback. Street Scene lip, Street Scene side skirts and 3DCarbon wing.

Going on the car within the next month are K&W coilovers, Adj PHB, Wheels and tires.

Anyway, enough with the talk. I think the pics and N8V's skill will speak better than I ever could.

These were some of my options:

Before pics, bringing it to the shop:

LOOK AT THIS ATTENTION TO DETAIL!!

Wow, I'm impressed. Even the door jambs were done. Any pictures of the finished engine bay or trunk?

This. More pics asap

PhillyLS1 · 03-01-2013, 12:16 PM

Car is being finished as we speak. I told them to leave the engine bay alone as I have go-fast parts going on and I don't want to have them do something twice.

If you look up the 5.0 engine bay, it's a pretty tight fit (as are all OHC motors are) and it would just get messed up.

I will post pics as I get them.

Looks like you'll have the go fast parts necessary to pull this wrap off.

great work and detail, but the factory color looked a lot less poopy

I really like the attention to detail on the wrap, but I am not a fan of the dry CF wrap on the roof.

VETTE_50_TH · 03-12-2013, 01:03 PM

Looks great

The gloss black didn't look right. We tried. Car isn't done yet.

Looks good.

boostedfury · 03-12-2013, 04:49 PM

Looks awesome but I have to ask: still have the Chevys?

I don't know that I have ever seen a more intensive rap job. From the pictures it looks like they did a fantastic job.

Looks great! What did it cost??
