Wrapped my car matte silver.
Almost done wrapping my car in matte silver, just thought I would post up some pictures of the car. waiting for another roll to arrive in the mail so I can redo the front bumper and right fender.
**Most important advice I can give any of you is, DO NOT buy any material other than 3M. I have tried it with two other wraps and it just wouldn't work. Driver door handle wouldn't go back on so I went out the window. LOL The Sunset: |

Awesome, reminds me of Frozen Gray a bit. I would also look into some LED angel eyes in the future, those orangey-amber ones don't fit too well.

I have the LCI halogens, so don't really have too many choices. I am waiting to get some more cash to get the depo headlights from fishcake.

There's Lux, RD, DTEC, and some other LED replacements, but some people actually have the headlights redone with OSS and the big rings with a bunch of LEDs around. The thing with the fishcake headlights is that they have the shape of the pre-LCI headlights, which are shaped a bit differently, and lacking the eyelid among some other things.

I used to have them on my car before and returned them because they gave me a few problems. It might have been a bad pair so I am going to go for it one more time. |

These kinds of threads make me want to wrap my e30, but finding the materials in Canada for under $1500-$2000 is nearly impossible.
Looks great!

Its about $500 to 600 for enough to do a car, roughly 20 to 25 yards.pricing depends on brand. All the major ones are comparable quality wise. Mine is wrapped in Hexis because thats the only one with the color i wanted. But 3M, oracal, and Avery are all good too. Just avoid the cheaper no name ones from ebay.

ve32811 you have to have a lot of patience and a couple people to help you. I had a couple but they kept fucking around and it was a pain getting them to help out. If you have the right material, then its fine. If you dont have the right material even a professional cant install it.
