Default Winter is boring, F it i'm doing it... Wrap it up.

Here is my build thread. I will update as i go along...

Since i'm keeping it for now i may as well fck with it.

Plan:
Matte grey wrap
Gloss Black face on wheels
Matte Grey wrap lips
Cover all chrome trim with gloss black vinyl

That's about it.

Here is the car now.


I started taking my wheels apart today, surprisingly easy...





Next i'll send the faces out for paint. I probably wont start the wrap for another couple months, so this post will go on for a while...

You may notice a motorcycle jack in one of the shots.

I bought a 2012 Harley 48 that i'll get in a couple weeks, im building that too. Which will def take priority! Just figured a pimped out white on gold Lexus won't match my raw low Matte Brown Bobber i'm going to build!!


**** FINAL WRAP*****

Finishing takig apart the wheels, actually very ease. Next step paint or powder coating...



4 months of tire wear, 5.5 degrees camber aired up just doesn't agree with tires! haha


I always wanted to do black lips...
