There was a time where I disliked vinyl as well, but it has grown on me. It's like walking out to a new Vette. I actually like the scheme you chose. My Z will be going into the shop to have the roof and b-pillars wrapped after Christmas. I hope it turns out as good as yours.

Damn that looks good. I didn't realize you could make a wrap look that good. Have you mentioned what your cost was for this?

Just what I need, another idea how to spend money on the Vette. It looks great, and I just found out I have a place in my hometown that does this. After things settle down, I'll be taking a drive over to see what they can do for me. I'm thinking of some kind of accent stripes.

Thanks, You really have to see it in person to appreciate the detail that went into this wrap vinyl quality has come a long way in the last couple of years.

I felt the same way until i've seen Lambo's & Rolls being wrapped I said what the hell, do your home work and ask a lot of questions be for you decide on a wrapper. A pro won't mind.
