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.

im not looking for permanent i just want something different for this show season and with flat black i can paint my wheels different colors all the time and it still match

he slammed into a mountain with the subie. and all it did was peel the vynil. no damage to the paint

ya sounds like it. as another guy said a picture of the door jams and any seams would be good to show quality of work *not bashing at all, just makes it easier to swing work his way*

No need for the gay hood scoop for a shitty top mount.

Wrx's and sti's should have never went with top mount intercoolers. I don't know why they thought that would be better than a front mount.

cheaper/easier to plumb, and it does have its own advantages (well...one anyway, but only one disadvantage AFAIK as well)
