Default Black and white eye candy

My buddy Blklex350 came to town from philly today, helped him out with blacking out his headlights & fog lights then CF wrrapped his interior. Here's a few shots we took today. Expect a build thread from him soon. He just recently got bit by the mod bug. Thanks for viewing more can be viewed here http://public.fotki.com/remydee/

Wow looks nice! I was thinking about wrapping my car in matte white but I honestly do not know anything about vinyl wrapping. Been doing a lot of searching and what not. Have any recommendations on where I can find cheaper 3m 1080 matte white wrapping? I think 50ft x 5 ft would be enough. Anyone else can chime in on this ahha

I believe it is WALD, and it will support double tips as some members have done it before.

you're gonna wanna get at least 60 ft and u dont wanna go cheap especialy if u are wrapping your exterior, interior trim pieces is ok for cheap vinyl, but your exterior is gonna be exposed to rain snow etc 3m will hold up better than any vinyl.

JP Vizage Rep from Bayson R I just modified it by cutting out the center piece adding a grill and painting around the exhaust area

thank you. 3m Vinyl wrap. It took about 2 and a half hours. Not a easy task. But yes it should look good with your IS
