I had my car in for service when a guy brought in his ZR1 for an oil change also. He had a flat silver wrap on the car that was very cool looking. I think the $3000 price mentioned earlier is just for the wrap itself however, as I did ask him how much that cost and he answered that it was $7000 total for the wrap.

It cost me $300 in 3M vinyl. I was quoted over $4000 for a shop down the street to do it.

I think they look awesome. I wouldn't mind doing my car in matte black.

We carry a satin finish paint protection film that will give the covered areas a satin/matte finish.

I'm sorry, but the Captain is not amused.

Default Got an a wrap scheduled

Wrapping the stinger, roof and halo on my '!! Calloway on Thursday it's yellow with the satin black OZ wheels so we're going with the satin black wrap. Quoted $440 all 3m material and a very experienced shop. Too much yellow right now, had the GS emblems done yellow by member in Tampa great job, no need for chrome on an all business car. Post pics if I like it. Later

There is a kid (17 maybe 18 years old now) in my town that has a Lamborghini wrapped in chrome green. The place that did it is in the next town over and they are making a name for themselves nationally as people are shipping their high end cars nationwide to have them do the wraps. designerwraps.com is their site and you can see some really creative jobs including the Lamborghini and some commercial vehicles with advertising wraps.

I went with Speed Lingerie bra for out of town trips. It protects the radiator area and is real easy to install/remove. IMO clear bra is not worth the min $400 in costs to cover the front areas, and a lot more to cover the whole car.

I wrapped my roof and halo with textured carbon fiber. It makes cleaning the roof super easy. I had some extra pieces laying around so I wrapped my steering wheel control bezels and center console. The factory console was super shiny, reflective, and showed finger prints like crazy. The wrap cut down immensely on the glare.
