Matte black Z at the track

bflosabre91 · 05-17-2011, 09:42 AM

i also really like the contrast of the door handles. i don't want to sound like an ***, but about how much did the vinyl cost you, if you don't mind??.... it really does look that incredible and i don't see any pricing on the Oracal website.

The vinyl cost me around $400 for 25 yards and I did the install myself. I have many years of installing paint protection film so it was a fun project for me. Just had to figure out what the limits of the vinyl are.

I did have 275's on the front but they were too big

Your Z looks sick....The 275's were too big? Meaning? Did it rub?

would you do the install for someone else?

It does look better when it's lower in the rear though..

I think that height is perfect for a Z that gets driven. enough with this hellaflush slammed stuff. that stance is exactly what sports cars should have from the factory. Functional, yet still looks good.

Sweet $400. I wish you were in Vancouver so you can do this to my Z. I called a few places and it would cost around $2000 to vinyl our ride. Dam expensive as it would cost for painting.

I agree with previous post...more pics please!!

I think that's the price range for a full wrap, sometimes even higher. The labour involved is pretty extensive and specialized.

if i see correctly, you didnt wrap the mirrors? did the wrap not go smooth enough around the curves? id imagine that would be real difficult. Also, how close were you able to get to the edges in the bumper and the separate panels? Looks to me like your car was black in the first place so you prob wouldn't notice if the edges weren't perfect unless u look real close. Just curious in case someone was flirting with the idea of going for a completely different color than their car

also, how much extra vinyl did you have when you were all done from the original 25 yards? sorry for all the questions. take it as a compliment cause i only ask cause ur car looks awesome
