OP pm'd me how much he paid...I believe he told me he paid about $2500 for the job

 

looks good.

 

Thanks guys, yup it costs ~$2500CAD for the job but usually they are around $2000.
Couldn't find other shops locally until after I wrapped the car.

 

Any updates?

 

The matte white looks really good! I've been thinking of doing the same but red. Is the price of painting it matte pretty much the same as regular paint or is it less?

 

^ this

 

I now want to vinyl wrap my OB coupe. Thanks.

Edit: Nvm. Didn't read. Reading. > Me.

 

I was quoted 6000 to 8000 for painting it matte white, so it was way out of my budget.

I installed 6mm spacers a week ago so that is probably the only update not on the original post... I'm waiting for my HFC's to arrive so I can install that and my sway bars at the same time. Red lugs and neochrome lugs are also arriving, can't wait for those.

I'm really loving the push start button + the new alarm system that auto locks + unlocks.

 

looks a little too matte IMO, almost like whiteout

 

Didn't want to spend too much money for a custom paint job when I was already planning to sell the car :P Car looks almost blue when under the moon, always love looking at my car whenever I have to park outside.

Only wrapped it because the body kit was unpainted and was quoted $1800 for painting the body kit to make it match the old and swirly paint. Not only that, but my past few cars were always black, feels quite different driving a white one.

On the other hand, almost wrapped it matte black but saw one in real life and it looked like crap. And if you live in Canada, BC, you will see ~3 matte black cars every time you drive. IMO, matte black only looks nice on edgy cars... and g35 is not edgy at all.

 

i like the matt white im thinkng or going matt red this week or next week

 

Matte red would look pretty nice, not sure what kind of red it is but from google searches I saw some nice matte red ferraris, 350z's and m3's.

 

I agree looks like white out. I'm going to be dong matte white soon, but more like the Audi r8 gt. matte white within ice pearl looks fantastic. Your wrap job looks outstanding though. They did an amazing job on it.

 

i like how you used vynal on your head lights. going to try that out.

 

You guys gave me an idea, I had a couple chips near the bottom of my front bumper and I used white out to poke a few dots and it blended in 70%, just a bit shiny.
Yeah, IMO, vinyl eyelids flow better since they don't stick out. And you can shape it a bit more aggressively or less aggressive depending on your taste.

P.S. no exterior mods atm. can't find the wheels I am after, and waiting for a good time to install my sway bars, end links, HFCs and also fix up the fitment on my side skirts.
Also trying to adjust ride height on my coilovers but I'm having some trouble.
