In for pictures of the finished product

Mostly stock. Speed daddy exhaust. Door nissan logo projected lights. Galaxy tab 4 cubby install.

Only had the car for a couple months, taking everything slow.

Please don't wrap your Z in chrome blue when everything else is stock. Cringe.

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?

Part of the reason im doing it is because Id like to wrap it myself. The material used is decent, not 3M but not chinese either. Its called VViViD. Its not going to be a permanent thing, maybe after a couple months, ill change to matte black. All the material is only costing me $230 shipped after getting a 20% discount. Plastidip would be nice but too much for my budget. Im a graduating college student.

I'm not sure you know what you're getting yourself into. You get what you pay for with vinyl.

Wrapping a car is not something you just do when you're bored. Its a lot of work, and takes a lot of skill.

Your shortcut by buying junk vinyl could result in ruining your clear coat, or never peeling when the time comes.

Listen to the people on this forum who are trying to offer you advice to help you out.

I appreciate all the advice that im getting from here. Thats why I posted.
Ive done some research on this vinyl and VViViD is supposed to be some decent vinyl. Definitely not cheap and not too expensive either. Even if I mess up, I dont mind as it will be a great learning experience and will help me with future wraps.

I got the material in today. After seeing the color, not sure if im gonna hate it or love it. Will look different once installed though.

Gonna be a while till you get update pics. Waiting for our tenants to move out the end of this month so i can use the garage.
