Single-Turbo SC300 being wrapped in vinyl
This is from another forum. I think the vinyl is too flat. It needs some sheen to it. Plus nice lack of an air filter on the turbo.

During:
Here's a vinyl that's going on a G35TT ("the best wrap in the world"). Notice more sheen--more of a semi-gloss than primer black:
That looked waaay better before.
Cool stuff..

that flat black shit is played out.
they ruined that car, good work but gross. And they killed the wheel while they were at it!
The owner did it himself. Even though he didn't do it the right way, he saved a LOT of money. Total cost was probably about $400.
This new stuff is semi-gloss and feels really slick. Pretty cool stuff!
It's all about that carbon fiber vinyl.
that is fckin cool..... i want to do that
How much would that cost ?

Much better before.

love it.
were can u get this stuff?
From my understanding, the price of a "good" paint job. The only perk is you can remove it when you get tired of it.
More props for doing it himself!
We actually got the 970 in gloss black recently but have yet to try it out.
it went from a very tasteful, mature and clean car too looking like a 16 year old hand me down from a junkyard with some added wheels

buhauaha.. the idea was nice.. the execution was well.. poor
I'm thinking the opposite, that the execution was nice and smooth, but the idea wasn't so good. Flat black on an SC just doesn't flow. Looked much better before.
i like it.very creative and different!

looked waaaay better before imo
This car is wrapped in vinyl, which color do you think it is?
Bozzio for president.
that wagon was originally black.
If you do it yourself, it's roughly $400-800 depending on what vinyl you use.
Wow, needless to say, but none the less it will be said, yall just ruined a beautiful car
BUILT NOT BOUGHT .........
I think it's a good cheap not long lasting way to make a change to your car. A lot of magazine and trade show booths won't take a car that looks the same as last year, so they want an update of some sort and usually paint does the trick.
I liked it alot better before the vinyl.
wont it rip?
damn that shit already looked good as it did...it really didnt need the vinyl ; /
riding low is like a religion
No
The OWNER of the car ruined it. Read more.
Are you kidding? Flat black hasn't been creative or different for years.
UGA: Everybody is laughing at us this year.
Not to be a thread jack, but I just got a motorcycle that needs new paint. What place around here can wrap motorycles?

i like the idea. i always see those advertisement cars and think, could you wrap a car just for cosmetic reason and not put a rappers head on the side? yes you can! i guess a glossy color would look weird?
At first it was one of the best SC's I have ever seen. I love the centered exhaust. The Lambo paint looks so sick, but no he had to go fuck it up with some vinyl!
I've read that the RA "texture" on the back of 970 shows through gloss black. You'll have to let me know either way. I could see it just a little bit on the Orange and Silver, but the matte black hides it.
How does not having a filter on a turbo not adversely affect the intake system's life?
Just wanted to clarify here: I was mistaken by saying it was done the wrong way. This was in reference to me assuming the headlamps were not removed (which should be done for a wrap). I read that the lights were removed, so I stand corrected!
Also, the $400 figure is just a guess. I don't deal with that brand of vinyl at all. Apparently it is much more expensive due to the laminate layer.
