Custom Vinyl Wrap for my 2013 Mustang GT Update post #27 Over the years I've watched the vinyl car wrap industry come out of it's infancy. But I wasn't sure if it was for me. Then, on Mid-Atlantic Domestics Car Club - Official Website - A Mid-Atlantic Region Car Enthusiast Community! • Portal I saw the attention to detail N8V Comp took with a Matte Blue Terminator Cobra. Anyone who took the time to do what N8V did on that car was going to get my business. See more here: http://www.exoticvehiclewraps.com/wp...uemetallic.jpg
I called up N8V and spoke to them about my options. I have always wanted an Orange car. It's my favorite color, I'm a diehard Philadelphia Flyers fan, and the Orange colors of the muscle car days combined with the killer 5.0 platform I felt would be a winning combo. It's not that I don't like the Sterling Gray, but I wanted something different. Sterling Gray is pretty common and this is going to be my last car for a WHILE. So I better make it good right?
The mods on the car currently are a Vortech V3, Vortech Tune, Borla Catback. Street Scene lip, Street Scene side skirts and 3DCarbon wing.
Going on the car within the next month are K&W coilovers, Adj PHB, Wheels and tires.
Anyway, enough with the talk. I think the pics and N8V's skill will speak better than I ever could.
These were some of my options:
Before pics, bringing it to the shop:

LOOK AT THIS ATTENTION TO DETAIL!!

Nice! I like how they did the door jams too. There is a place two doors down from my work that does this. I have been considering it over a super expensive paint job, but still looking for some inspiration. Please post some progress as well as finished pics.
I love the NBM paint on my Firebird, but it does have scuffs and marks like any used car would have. The most annoying thing is that you can see the mounting points showing through the clear coat on my OE WS6 hood. I guess it's a super rare factory defect, but it bugs the **** out of me, and I feel like wrapping would be a good solution.

Looks great man. My cousin does this on the side, has his own plotter. He has a mustang that is yellow as seen in the picture. He wrapped the whole car, even the yellow , which is a different shade of yellow. The black parts are also wraps. This is an old picture, it only has the black top now, the rest yellow.

I have been looking into this recently, the 3M stuff is good for 5 years if outside all the time, out of the sun it will last indefinitely. Hand wash recommended and no ammonia based cleaners ie windex.
