So you cut the edges flush? You don't wrap around the bends?

damn. Lucky my jams are already black. I called around for quotes. They were like 5-6k when i called the next day and said i have a jetta the price was a lot lower... They jack the price up when they hear its a 370z

Hopefully someone with expierence can back me up on this but its probably because all the crazy lines make the z a ****** to wrap.

Take a square little civic and have that thing wrapped in no time.

Are you a business? Why are you posting vinyl work on a Bimmer?

Xplicit97 · 05-19-2013, 10:22 AM

He is a buisness, however he is just trying to show the process of wrapping a car.. He was doing his Z but customers come first so he is showing the process using a customers car

He is posting as an individual NOT as a buisness, the thread not meant to be advertising.. As he is aware that is against the forum rules without prior approval from AK. The local Z community here already knows about the buisness.. Most of us are close personal friends of James
