Default Car wrap ideas

Not sure if this is the right place but wanted to start a thread on ideas for car wraps for our cars.

I have a White WS6 and was thinking of doing a wrap. I want something unique and am having a hard time figuring out what to do.

I want something special, something clean and not ricer. Does anyone have any ideas for an F-Body?

Thanks
Alex

There was a guy with a cobra that did a crazy puzzle camo color that I thought looked badass, although not something id do myself I always thought it was special and nice.





My person favorite is balloon white wrap.





What price did you get to wrap a car? I was told it was about 3k which isn't worth it to me.

OP, what color is your interior? Our WS-6 cars have some nice curves, I think a Black Chrome wrap would accentuate them.

I always thought it would be cool to see a WS-6 in a non-metallic classic Pontiac green color from the '60s/'70s. Kind of a desaturated avocado color. The lack of metallic won't show off the curves as much, but it will still look the business.

Sorry, but that puke green color is awful. Classic or not, I would not have chosen that car due to the color alone. If it were a different color, red, black, blue, white, purple, etc., what ever, not puke green.

Alex, I think your car is too fast for vinyl. It will likely rip off during a WOT blast. As it is, you're lucky the paint manages to stay on.

For the record, I absolutely love that shade of green above; on a car of that era I would much rather have that than black or red or other typical current colors. Not sure how it would look on a 4th gen, but I'd want it to be paint rather than vinyl.

I know the OP personally, his interior is tan/neutral.

Ya Tan interior.

Haha Ryan, I may have to keep it to 1/8 mile.

I really like that diamond white or whatever that is on the Corvette above.

I never though I'd be thinking of a wrap but I think it would be fun to try something for a couple years maybe. I've had the car for 14 years now.

I have not gotten an exact quote yet as it really depends on what color or if there is a pattern to it.

But ya about 3k is what I hear to be normal.

I know its a lot but the paint isn't mint of the car anymore anyway. Far from needed a paint job or anything. I would likely keep it on for at least 2 years.

I did a mock up of what I was thinking with the green. I know it's not for everyone, but that is also why I was thinking of doing it with a wrap, as you would not have to stick with it forever. I think it gives the car a very confident, aggressive, almost military presence.

Hard to believe we've had these cars for so long. Here's an old picture you might appreciate, this is from June of 2007 at Photo's. You and me are the only ones from this group that still have the same cars today:

Wow very cool picture. Can't believe that was 10 years ago. Man how time flies.

I actually like that green in the TA above.

I know what you mean, but now that you've seen what I was talking about, keep an eye out for old Ponchos in that color and you will see that it is not actually that different (there are a number of greens, so it has to be the right one). It's just hard to find a decent photo, so I had to make one

Glad you like it. Sure would be cool to see in real life.

I saw this Cobra today here in Southern Maryland. It looks pretty damn cool in person.

Ok so now I'm thinking of another idea. Just doing a front end wrap of some clean looking flames. Like ghost flames nothing old school in yellow or anything.

Maybe a light grey with some blue?
