Default Full Vehicle Wrap: The Right Way

2002 BMW 325i 180,000 Miles

• 3m 1080 Matte Silver/ Carbon Fiber vehicle wrap (South Florida)
• Smoked Taillights and Side markers

Anyone can wrap a car it really isn’t rocket science but then again there are millions of people in the world that can play basketball but only a handful are called professionals and play in the NBA and make millions. Well folks we are professionals. All of our installs are top of the line top notch in every aspect. Preparation is key and we take it to the max ensuring every piece we lay out stays. Most companies who claim to be professional installers cut corners all the time. They don’t take the car apart and don’t plan to have a seamless install. On top of all of this we make it easy for the customer to replace pieces that are going to get damaged no matter what like under the front bumper. When we wrap an entire car, that means we wrap the entire car. Check underneath your side skirts and bumpers if you got your wrap done somewhere else. Is it wrapped to the edge with a clean cut?

Looks good. There's a lot of added on paths on the car that I would have never noticed if I hadn't been studying up on bimmers from my woman getting one. She has those same carbon emblems on the way now.

Do you like the way the semi gloss satin finish looks in the sun?

How much did it cost?

What kind of life expectancy does this wrap have. I know a dd car will be quicker than garage queen, but how long does this wrap have to be reapplied or "touched up"?
How does it react to weather elements?

This is my buddy's car!!!! They truly did a great job! The car was pretty banged up and had a few nicks! You would never think it has 180,000 miles
