I'd agree with the forget the show car and give the JZ go!

I think what would bother me most is people always knowing the car is wrapped as oppossed to painted!

I have a plan I have to follow unfortunately, Colt, Mini, RX7, KP and the JZ86 in that order dude....

With all due respect,FYL :(

No worries dude, opinions don't offend me. I have to sell the first three so I can keep the last two...

What about something like this :

Do I not have a thread on it here ?

wrap could be cool but not carbon ,simple because its not carbon !
depends on the price of getting a paint job done vs the wrap ,
Id try get the bn kit off dan and paint the car a dark deep color and slam it , If i had mine still id do the Bn kit for sure !

do wraps myself for a living and i just got my car re-sprayed think that tells ya enough ;)

failures :
you cant power wash any part that is at end point
you cant polish out scratches
you cant stop it peeling cause once it fails it peels everywhere
stone chips = bumper repaired and re-wrapped
should be laminated if not wont last a month (weathering)
frost ruins the memory in the vinly causing it to lift
its a pain to get off and involves loads off glue remover which dulls paint having the car too be re-sprayed after wrap is removed..

just a few iv learnt in the last 3 years :o

Carbon wrap looks so tacky...not sure why anyone would want that?!

But yeh, why dont you drive the 7 at all?!

Greg

If you're just planning on selling the 7 then why waste money on paying for a wrap or full repsray? It's just the front bumper that needs touching up, is it?

If it was me I'd work out what car needs less money spent on it for it to be ready to sell, get that done asap, and sold on. No point in hanging about and spending money you don't have to.

Thanks Hunty, wrap = scrap

No interest in the car Peter, took 3yrs to build it, all it needs is one piece of intercooler piping, a map and vrt, so close but no love left for her...

Suppose Greg, want something cool to drive daily but this is tough rough for Reese so was planning on selling it to get a chaser or Laurel...

Greg

Haha, there's hardly enough room in it for one person with the Brides in it so don't know how you'd manage with a booster seat, Becky, and a heap of shopping coming back from Tesco. :D

Spray the bits that need doing in the same red, get it mapped, and sell it. The JZ86 will be the new love of your life and the 7 will be forgotten.

The 7 is for boys only LoL Me and Reese, he's mad for the 7 :)

If I get rid of the mini and colt I'll be delighted...

what brand you wrapping with?
you only have to laminate full colour printed wraps btw not straight colour change jobs
