I like it. Myself, I want to rhino-line a C4, but I'm not sure if I have the guts to do it to my ZR-1.

Someone in the town I live in used to have on in a blue chrome but a slightly different and lighter color blue.

Where it is at now I have no idea because he sold it and bought a regular chrome porche.

Good luck on keeping it fingerprint free haha he always hated that problems.

I like it! I think the contrast with the carbon fiber and flat black wheels make it work.

Thank you everybody.

Pictures do not do this car justice at all. I wish people had regular cameras these day and not just cell phone. But here is a few more.




Some before and during

Looks awesome!!

How long do those types of wraps last?

How does the cost compare to paint?

Pretty unique, I like it.

This is meant as a compliment; it reminds me of some of my Matchbox/Hot Wheels cars I used to play with when I was young. I had a instant flashback to those days when I saw your car (thanks for that)!

They are said to last a lot of years. Since it's relatively a new thing I guess we'll all have to wait those years out to see if it's true or not.

Cost compared to paint puts wraps waaaay ahead in value.
Now I can't speak for other shops in the country but this wrap cost me 2750 plus tax. A Matte wrap which is much more common and cheaper for a car this size is about 1500.
And that's paying someone to do it. The Matte roll of Material is like 400 I think and the chrome like 800 I think.
Plus factor in that to have your vehicle wrapped is definitely THE IN thing right now, and it protects your paint underneath, it makes it a WIN WIN WIN :-)

Not my car
But it's a car that they did and it shows the drastic change for 1500 bucks

Interesting. I may look into doing this myself. Might be a cheap(ish) way to get my car looking decent on the cheap.

If it costs $1,500 I would just save up for real paint.

The price of a decent paint job is at least $3500.
A wrap at $1500-2000 is a substantial savings and looks just as good.

And after looking into it briefly, it looks like you can do it yourself for around $600 for base colors in quality vinyl. Doesn't really look too difficult.
