I am a huge flat paint fan... i've had a few cars done that way long before it was cool, but i'm sorry if i owned a C63 AMG i certainly wouldn't vinyl wrap it or paint it flat black

that shit is absolutely hideous... if you've seen a c63 in person especially since that one was originally white i would never rice it up like that; atleast paint it... vinyl wrap FTMFL

**NVEOUS** · 03-17-2009, 10:22 AM

I actually like it.

**Sammich** · 03-17-2009, 10:29 AM

hahaha...well wrapping my truck would be lovely..

i havent seen a c63 in person...so...right now...its pretty awesome

please dont ban me

**On_Her_Face** · 03-17-2009, 10:33 AM

I'd just change the wheels..

**Jimmy B** · 03-17-2009, 10:44 AM

I accually like it, He wraped it, so no negative impact to the value, and when you get tired of it, take it off.

The only thing it needs is a drop

True, it'll just need a god buff afterwards.

**aguynamedpat** · 03-17-2009, 10:47 AM

I agree with Paul. I like the flat black/vinyl look, but those cars are so sexy with shiny paint. If I spend $65,000+ on a car Im going to let it shine.

The one I saw was silver. It took off from a light and holy shit that thing could haul. Id kill to have one.

thank you - flat black your wrx, 350z, civic, gti, etc... but not your C63 AMG

**ATL_EG** · 03-17-2009, 11:08 AM

i don't think it's horrible but i'd NEVER do it if i owned that car

**15degvee** · 03-17-2009, 11:18 AM

they went too far with the wheels...the rest is okay...but no, I wouldn't do it..

**BobbyFresco** · 03-17-2009, 11:27 AM

Gah. Way to ruin an otherwise awesome car.

**Sammich** · 03-17-2009, 11:28 AM

Didn't take very long, Sammich.

**Elbow** · 03-17-2009, 11:30 AM

That's hot.

**claybird** · 03-17-2009, 11:31 AM

DAMN i HATE flat black but i like thatbut yeah i think the white interior defeats the purpose! KEEP IT SHINY!!

**Bballjamal** · 03-17-2009, 11:33 AM

I'd rock it

**VooDooXII** · 03-17-2009, 11:35 AM

I know what this guy was trying to do.

He's doing it up like the Brabus Bullit.

i guarantee vinyl wrap doesn't look that good around the jambs,etc

**redrumracer** · 03-17-2009, 12:17 PM

"The Matte Black finsh is vinyl wrap that not only protects the vehicle's original paint, but also gives it the F-22 Fighter Jet Stealth look."

This made me LIRL!

I like the look....but the fact that its vinyl makes me be like WTF!?

You do know that's huge now right? vinyl wrap > paint.

It can be huge but IMHO its still dumb. It looks just like paint in pics....but in person....it looks half ass and cheap.

you don't vinyl wrap a 60+k car and doing it to an exotic car is even more stupid; if you can afford a lambo, ferrari, etc then you can afford to paint it or order it the color of your choice.

Sure you do, TONS of people are doing it now. Sure you can paint it, but then you would have to paint it again later to hold a real value, and it would lose value repainting it. It's like a huge bra.

**NVEOUS** · 03-17-2009, 12:19 PM

I'd do it to my car. But I don't think it would look that great.

**NVEOUS** · 03-17-2009, 12:20 PM

is it cheaper or something??

**aaronfelipe** · 03-17-2009, 12:29 PM

It looks like a civic now...

**blaknoize** · 03-17-2009, 12:29 PM

I like it, especially the clash between the white interior and the black. All he did was wrap the car in a condom to prevent RSTD's and such.

**Brett** · 03-17-2009, 12:37 PM

I actually think it looks sick

**Elbow** · 03-17-2009, 12:37 PM

If it's done RIGHT you can't tell, a lot of exotic car owners are doing it now. It gives you the chance to do something different without making it permanent. It's not really cheap, but possibly cheaper then a nice paint job? I was going to get my car wrapped since it's a track car that way it wouldn't really matter if I crashed.

How much does it cost to wrap a whole car?
I see what you mean though....plus it would help you on resale too if you could pull that stuff off and have fresh paint under it.

well if you crashed then the car and paint would still be damaged.

I know, but I am speaking for my track car not an exotic. Like dents and stuff, just add more vinyl lol.

**xdavidscenex** · 03-17-2009, 12:38 PM

i like it.

**claybird** · 03-17-2009, 02:22 PM

MURDAD OUT~~~

**AnthonyF** · 03-17-2009, 02:42 PM

Fucking sexx! ONLY b/c it is an AMG. If it wasn't I wouldn't agree with his decision.

-Ant.

**Total_Blender** · 03-17-2009, 03:03 PM

I think it looks kinda butty. The lines aren't sharp and the panel gaps look off. Looks like the quality of paintwork you'd see on a rattle canned 240.

In other words its JDM baller as fuck.
