Anyone ever Vinyl-wrapped a car?
It's probably a giant waste of money, but damn if I don't want to do this really bad. My car isn't even super fancy or anything, its an '05 G35x sedan. Might just be earings on a pig at this point.
But I think this matte midnight-blue looks badass:
Spoiler!
I also like the black trim on the grill and door handles, with the tinted-out headlights. What does the cost usually run for something like this? Does it hold up in all weather? Car washing? |

Honestly I prefer paint. I've explored those for the 335's I had. I can't think of a better color than OEM BMW Black Sapphire metallic.

I should really just get a new exhaust system instead, as she's been getting a little throaty lately. I hate being responsible.

Do they use plastidip or do they actually drop each panel into a vat with the vinyl cover on it?

Thanks, that's actually a package they offered in 2010 - That's OEM wheels and wheel paint - it was actually bought from BMW like that - The M5 is taking forever to get used to - it's not nearly as quick off the line as the 335s' tuned were but it's a true F1 engine, so after about 3/4 of a mile on the freeway the M5 will boss out and play ball w/ most any car on the road not named GTR. The m5 will shine in the 80mph ->135mph zone. My old black 09 tuned 335 coupe would have owned the m5's soul for about 3/4 of a mile - but the m5 would catch it in about a mile or thereabout.

335 off to the right (which was a rocket) - It's the one I traded for the M about a month ago or a tad longer - I still have that Silverish Gold 135 as well - that's my car for daily transit - considering the M gets only 11 MILES PER GALLON!!!
