very nice work dude, it's hard to believe it's vinyl but awesome job

Also personally I would leave the handles as they came standard but that's just me

and did you also use vinyl wrap for the trunk liner? the silver strip that opens the trunk?

yea, it clearly is a matte black G Sedan in the background.

I thought a paint job is similar in cost when wrapping a car, so why not paint??

its different, plus you can always peel it off. And go back to stock color. Its a cool alternative imo.

Actually, there's a guy on e90post who did his 335 in matte black vinyl, and it cost him a little over 3k to do it according to him. There's no way you're getting a quality paint job (full car) anywhere near 3k. The vinyl turned out sick too.

Plus, like others said, you can peel it off and your factory paint is underneath supposedly unmolested and good as the day you wrapped it.

Yeah actually, remember when I posted my neighbor's G35 that was half matt black and half silver? It looks nice from far, but once you come close you see all the horrible Vinyl around the edges.

With time you would probably see the vinyl peeling away around the edges (Which I hate), but I guess it's also down to how well the installer does the job.

^Exactly.
I have vinyl on my roof & there is no edge problems at all after about a year.

I paid $1100 here in Moscow. A friend of mine did all the job, not a dealer. If you go to the dealer bodyshop who is spicialized in vinyl wrap it costs about $2300.

The trunk liner is wrapped with 3D carbon vinyl.
Will post some HR and close pics for guys soon! And also rear diffusor will be installed on saturday, and pics for Defratos will be done for sure))

And thanks for the good replies guys!!!

After taking off the vinyl you need just to polish the car to take off the rest of the glue left from the vinyl, it goes away very easy
