Ya! It's not perfect up close, some stuff just can't be wrapped well but overall I'm very happy with it. haha.. beer + work is highly recommended.

I'll post some pictures of the finished grill on the car tonight.

haha yea.. Question for you - how do your side skirts fit? Mine are terrible lol. Though... it's the third car it's been on and it's been modified a bit.

 

the problematic edges can be cleaned/washed with dawn liquid soap to lift the wax off and make the vinyl adhere more.

 

Mine fit good. My body shop used some silicone to on the edges front and rear to help with the small gaps.

 

I dont venture over to the gd side of the site very often but I am glad I did! That color is amazing!

 

I'm told this vinyl doesn't react very well to water solutions? But yea... before they applied the vinyl, the car was washed with dish soap, and the edges were rubbed down with alcohol. Though, probably one of the bigger issues was that the skirts and bumpers were only primered. The first tack with the vinyl onto primer sticks well, but if you lift to readjust then it picks up some primer dust/debris. Sucks.

Oh... that's good. The edge of mine is double-sided taped to the body, but it seems like it's a little wavey.

Thanks! Do check us out more often!















And some of the other Level One cars I'm showing with:

 

Game over. Everyone quit now.

The outcome was amazing. What gave you the idea for the roof? That is so crazy.

Good job and good photography man. Which show was this?

 

mmm.. I really like the Vellfire in California - the one wrapped in red leather? I was going through the swatches and saw this gator/croc leather vinyl and just had to figure out how to incorporate it onto the car.
And thanks! It's Importfest, starts in a couple hours actually. Those shots were just from roll in.

 

Jeez man. That looks crazy. I need to step my game up

 

Wow,that looks sooo nice.congrats dude.

*edit*
What did you do with your j's wing?

 

Dayum bro!....Your car turned out "verrry niiice"
Something about that white headlight housing color I'm not feelin' though..

Keep up the good work..

 

Not sure how I feel about the color or roof, lol. Rest of the car though is dope! Also I love your BMW

 

Lovely!
I was able to see the Veilfire you speak of in person at SEMA a few years back. Great inspiration to anyone

 

I'm speechless again gawa. Looked great back in the days with the smaller wheels, and now i just cant believe how stunning it turns out with everything.

GREAT GREAT work gawa!

 

You guys talking about this one? I saw it in person. It was awesome.

 

すごすぎ！ Awesome man. You have huge nuts for doing that to the roof. Simply amazing. I want to roll around on top of your car.

 

whhaaaaaaaa. How does that even work on all the major curves? do you see any overlap on any parts?

 

You should paint your headlight housing STI pink or tint...I'm serious!

You've got it started
Just need some wheels and skirts.

Thanks! mike410b has it now.

Thank you~
I don't feel the white headlight housings either, didn't get a chance to do anything to them so they just got wrapped in a blue-ish smoke film.

haha it's not for everyone but thanks!

It is! I wish I could check out how they wrapped it in real leather.

Thanks for the love!

I need to check out car shows in the states more often. :O

Thanks! Actually, interestingly enough, a G37 from Pennsylvania came up to the show as well and had the same roof haha.

Most of the panels are wrapped in one piece, but some of the curves just don't allow the vinyl to hold very well, even with heating + stretching, so it would have to be two piece. Most of the seams are hidden or at least hard to see unless you really look for it though.

lol. it sort of works with his car cause of the pink rims but I'm not so sure about pink rims on mine haha. Thanks for the idea though, I definitely know I have to do something about those headlights sooner or later.

And a couple more shots:

This is quite excellent.

PM'ing btw.

 

I think I'm done for 2012...

Just finished up a couple more things, will take some better shots of my car over the long weekend (it's Thanksgiving in Canada)...

And my friend helped me finish up wrapping the side mirrors and I picked up a set of black headlights as well:
