Were you parting your car out?

Any particular reason for changing to the 370...

Anyway... welcome!!

Thanks. The part out is almost done. Only thing really left is the coilovers, headlights, and wheels.

Just time for an upgrade.

Thanks, and no. Nobody has enough balls to run these wheels. They do however fit easily on a 370z. So if nobody buys them, theyll be on my new 370z

I SOOO want them but just dont have the cash for em

Specs and price for the wheels?

How are the tires?

I need more of a drop before I can run anything wider though.

My wheel fund = wedding ring fund... :-(

So have any of you guys done any car wrapping before?

a good friend that i used to race with does that all day every day.

I talked to him about wrapping my car, not exactly cheap to do it. Paint is cheaper.

I don't know about that...

Wrapping a car in a single color, is about $1500. If you print on it with designs and other stuff the price goes up.

Painting a car the right way would be $4-5k to do the outside and door jams.

My roommate used to wrap cars and he can get all of the stuff I need to do it but I don't think its worth it.

The guy i know just does the labor and no real discounts, what he told me when i was asking said it would be about $3k-$3.5k for the company he works for to do it. I know material is less than $1k. It always crossed my mind to do a flat dark graphite or flat black.

^^^

We are going to wrap our race car (when it gets finished) and all of the material to wrap it including print was around $1500. This is also including the perforated window covers.

MrToeknee · 04-11-2011, 08:14 PM

DPE S15
19x10 +4 235/35 hankook 70%
19x12 +0 275/35 Toyo t1r 90%

$2800

KaienZ34 · 04-12-2011, 09:29 AM

I know i can get enough 3M 1080 wrap to do the whole car one color for around $560.

lazer_Z · 04-12-2011, 01:12 PM

then labor to wrap... the price he gave me was material and labor. so about 1500 for materials and prob another 1500 to wrap?

i wouldnt imagine the majority of it being all that hard to do, but there would be some tricky spots.

KaienZ34 · 04-12-2011, 01:16 PM

So should i check into it? That price was a ballpark on wrap only. No other supplies.

TypeOne · 04-12-2011, 02:34 PM

I'm just thinkin out loud Francis...

If I was serious about it I would get my roommate Tim to do it for me. He knows all of the people and has done many cars before.
