amazing job on the wrap but i do not think it looks all that great. I think the tail lights need to be clear and not smoked. Not sure if this look fits the 3.

Where did you get them installed? and how much did you pay for the springs and installation?
Looks great. I'm looking to do the same set-up, with the rx-8 rims...still debating my options though. So many. Nice ride!
looks clean!
Well here are a few more pictures I took after I cleaned it... I also Re-did the tail lights.. looked at it again after it was mentioned about the plastidip smoke.... not so good for tinting tails.... I Used a tinted Vinyl and more matte vinyl, still a few bubbles and wrinkles to smooth out with the heat gun though.
Thanks for all positive comments. I do want to Re-do the back section I did use a lot of seams due to not having enough material. However still looks good I think me being an amateur and all.

I was going to ask how it held up in today's heat. Looks like it did really well! I remember wrapping parts of my front lip. It looked SO BAUCE when I finished...and all it took was a few hours in the sun for all my hard work to disappear. Overstretched it.
I also saw a matte black Mercedes the other day who's vinyl wrap was unsticking and pulling in spots due to the heat (the curved part between the tail lamps and bumper end).
Well done dude. Looks rad! Looking forward to pics of the rear whenever/if you decide on redoing it.

Just curious as to where you got the matte finish film? I wanna do this as well
Whoa vinyl job looks mint and car looks sick in the matte black. Nice job!
looks great
That looks great man! You think vinyl wrapping would slow down rust? If so, I think I might do it! lol
Andrew
Not sure if it would slow down rust I mean no air gets in or water lol..... Cross my fingers
NICE!!! :hawt
Whats the maintenance like, I feel like with canadian weather at matte finish would be too hard to maintain.
saw you on the 407 near dixie yesterday morning around 8:45
It's not hard to maintain at all...dish soap takes all oil off the vinyl keeps it matte. Winded taken bird doo doo off nicely...
No waxing is a time saver that's for sure lol...
So instead of regular car soap, you just use dish soap wash, and thats it? How does the occasional dust look like on the car? I park mine outside during the day at the go station and there's a construction zone near my house.Quote:
