Chrome Blue Wrap
Sup Z bros!
So I wanted to get my car wrapped for a few reasons. First, I felt like it would be a great scratch protective solution. And second, I wanted a new look that would be self appealing as well as turning some heads. Im doing most of the install myself and will be getting some help with the bumpers by a friend who wraps for a living. The color I went for was a chrome blue. Reasons being was because its an eye popping color, I like the color blue and chrome, and I no one that I know of and online has a chrome blue 370z. I ordered the material off ebay along with some black carbon fiber for the spoiler and mirrors. I attached a few pics so you guys can have a better understanding of what the outcome may be. Also, should I wrap the roof black or leave it chrome? Also, anyone here that wrapped in chrome or any color in general have any tips and suggestions? Thanks and let me know what you guys think. Pictures will be uploaded once installed. |

I love the blue chrome. Very similar to the Monterey Blue with that sweet chrome bling.
Now I would never wrap my car with it - way too much for me. But everyone has their own taste, and he can do whatever he wants with his own car. I would take a scale model (maybe ~1:20) in that color for sure

There are many people that sell their Z and stick around the forum for the community. However, most of them contribute in more intelligent and courteous ways than that
I read his comment and then noticed that he apparently traded the Z in for a Maxima

Do you have anything else done to the car? May look a bit odd if everything else is stock IMO
In for pictures of the finished product

That's one sweet looking blue. Way better than the Bieber chrome. It's going to be awesome! Can't wait for the pics.

OP. You have the power to iggy. It will definitely grab attention probably more than what you intend unless that is what you really want. For me that kind of color are for car shows rather than as a DD.

Your right about that. The problem is down here in south florida, everyone has a Z and they all look the same. Mines will be a bit different.

Also, don't wrap your Z at all. A wrap is not paint protection. Its temporary and should be removed in 18 to 24 months, otherwise it might not ever come off without destroying your paint or clear coat. Also, ensure whoever does the work, is using premium materials. Why don't you use something thats not so permanent, and can be peeled off easily, like Auto Flex?
