Arrow Glacier frost mica or Flat black 3m Wrap for FREE!

I need everyones opinion before I look horrible on the streets!

Ive got a sponsor to do a full matte black vinyl wrap ( 3m ) on my is .



They will do everything and I will not pay a dime. The catch is to display " wrapped by A-Team" in some really insconspicuous places.


so if i do go with the wrap i am thinking about buying ISF style front and rear bumpers. only because my rear one has a big crack (hit and run ) and the front one is starting to chip from all the rocks,bugs,girls that hit my bumper
and someone did another hit and run on the front bumper (pics soon)


mine is a 2006 is250 awd glacier frost mica 5% full tint and black wheels!
so it would be a Murdered out LExus


Should I?
ps. quote from monster wraps from california was $3,500 (parts,labor)

I never understood the high cost of vinyl wrap labor. $3500? I might as well dish out another $1K and get a total repaint to a color of my liking.

If you're gonna do flat, it better be able to pull it off!

Sweet... I would jump on it.

I believe the sponsorship also requires some appearances at car shows. How else would they get car enthusiasts to see their logo? You might want to double check with the sponsorship conditions.

Do it, if you're planning in modding your car. But stock, no.

The owner of the shop wants to meet next week and talk about it.
My guess as of now is for him to use my car for catalogs and his website.

Thanks for responding!
I will find out for how long it will have to be on my car!
and I really want a "murdered out" lexus lol but again the glacier frost mica is amazing!

Ill upload pics of my car and let you all be the judge! (pics ill upload at around 7pm cst )

Depends on what kind of look your going for in the future. Some mods just don't look right on matte black cars.

Here's a pic i found:

I guess it works on that car cuz its going for more of a tuner style. But if your going for a more Luxury/VIP look, i dunno about matte black on an IS.
