mind if i ask what you payed to have this half vinyl wrap done? just curious.

also, how much to just have them wrap the entire thing with the flat black vinyl?

i can't say i'm a fan of it like this, i would like it better if you just did the entire car with the new look vinyl. and rock that as long as till you get tired of it. i do think if you keep this like this for too long the paint isnt going to match once the vinyl is removed.

also, would rock chips in the front be really noticeable on the vinyl?

im not sure about the entire thing. i got a couple quotes before them and I was priced at about 2500-2800. but those places are very high end. (Platinum Motorsports in Hollywood, and Roadstarr in Los Angeles). for half the car wrapped i paid 850. They gave me it basically at cost. and 250 was for the wheels and threw in the taillights smoked for free. I got it done st StickerCIty in Los angeles. for the whole car wraped im guessing they would do it for 2000.

Eventually im sure i will get sick of this "two face". maybe in 6-12 mnoths. and i;ll just wrap the other side in matte black as well.

Not my taste but it's different. I think a little contrast will help it though, red tail lights on the matte black side and smoked tail lights on the white side, black wheels on white side and white rims on black side.

Is this a true statement from K&N: Estimated Horsepower Gain: 12.06 HP @ 5852 RPM?

I on the fence about the "two faces".
