Id love to know where he gets it....I work for a national chain sign shop....and even we cannot do it that cheap. I know that a roll of carbon fiber 3m dinoc is 4000+ depending on where it comes from.

Lol I need a friggen disclaimer "the wing on this car is functional, it is a road race car, so yes it needs a huge wing when it's going 150mph around a track."

figured it was functional when I saw the roll bars. (track setup) doesn't stop it from looking hideous though

does he have a bigger turbo on that thing?

He can get matte white, matte black, and that drab olive green color, but other more specialized colors will cost more.

i'm suprised nobody asked what size thickness of vynil he's using. that would make a difference in cost. but looking at the pics he does good work.

you do know vinyl is only a temporary thing? after is life expectancy is over, the film can actually do damage to the paint underneath, also will fade and deteriorate quicker.

just saying.

we vinyl wrap cars from time to time at my shop, yes its cheaper than a custom paint job that we do, but you also have to remember in the long run... must vinyls that are inexpensive even expensive ones are 3-7 years at best.
