Possible Matte Black Wrapped V35........soon.

[sethaiyaar]

Ok guys im putting it out there to the community too, im thinking of wrapping my car in matte black......myself.

Why?:

-I have a thing for matte black.

-Im sure it might be the first one in Aus.

-Me actually thinks it would look good on a V35.

-SURPRISINGLY the cost is not as outrageous as i thought it would be, thus the risk.

-Oh and i have a bit of experience putting vinyls on roofs of different cars, inc. mine.

-You can always peel it off, after a claybar and a wash its good as new.....yes i am using a good quality vinyl.

What i want to know is what you guys think, do you have any advice, any past experiences, tips etc? Do you think the driver of a matte black V35 would look like a complete douche bag?? (what im most afraid of).

Btw, if you have seen my car....err not much done to it appart from a drop, if i did get the wrap i would atleast get my rims sprayed matte black aswel......oh and cost wise? your looking around the $350 mark with LOTS of haggling from already made connections in the industry.

Given your experience and the price point I'd say go for it - should look awesome!!

[interfooler]

Yeap just do it! I have seen a GTR in Matte black and it looked mint. Should go well with the V35 too I reckon

[02stagea]

Why not do it. $350 + some of your time. Win.

[HOWIROL]

[rorii]

yeah go for it it'll look tough as

[funkymonkey]

matte black will only look good if you have US guys G35 spec fitment and stance. most guys in oz seem to have their nuts tightly locked away in their purses when it comes to these two qualities, so unless you're willing to break with the norm, just make yours look somewhat tasteful and leave it at that. Otherwise you'll be rocking a colour fad from two years ago on fail fitment and stance, and you'll just be someone who hasn't quite got it right.

Get the wheels, stance and fitment right, and rock matte black, and no one will dare to criticise your choice in colour, even if it isn't to their taste. In this day and age when tonnes of guys have done it better, even if they are in a different country, if you don't get the package completely right, someone will shoot you down for not measuring up.

Amen on that!....i totally agree, its just that the price of this mod is MUCH lower then modding the car to achive the agressive stance (Wheels, low ofset, tyre strech). I was just thinking of putting some hubcentric spacers on mine . Maybe the difference between modding and tasteful modding is sequence.

personal opinion is why myself? if you wanted a black car why didnt you buy one

lol thats what really made an idea in the back of my head come to the front as a real possibility. Lots of discussion going on in the BMW thread about the quality of vinyl to be used.

lol to me silver was what i wanted, but truly you cannot compare matte black to our v35s OB. Two totally different textures and surfaces. Hmm as for the bonnet and boot, i am an avid hater of the "my black hood will make it look like carbon fibre" look. Logically i understand where you guys are comming from and thank you for that, but its all or nothing with me.

It would look fat!!! do it!!!! Only reason why i haven't already done it is because i don't have the patients to do something like that. But you have to have some mean offset wheels otherwise it would look gay.

[CRISP 35]

I say go for it Tai. But i feel u do need to kit ur car to make it work.

Somethin like this g35

I would pay someone to do this to my car, where can it be done?

[Walf]

2 things..

1) wow! that looks f**king awesome! do it for sure! Its making me seriously consider doing it haha

2) Where can I get this vinyl? Ive been looking for something to do a part of the rear bumper and this would be perfect
