Yea good **** or bad ****, it'll still be gay **** if you dont take care of it lol. And tending vinyl is nothing like tending to car paint, different material and it is more damage prone and easily deterioratable.

For $400 and 4 years of life (not to mention extra material to replace worn or damaged areas) Ill take that over $3000 paint job that some old lady in the Safeway parking lot can *** up with her door...

Above link has good pics of wrap works - including Subaru. Don is known to do good work and sell quality wraps. He's far from here - south CA. But he'll be here in bay area one or two month from now to do some wraps. I'm on his list for my Z's roof. (I have no business association with him.)

Besides, I want to do my own and gain experience and then maybe start doing some odd jobs on the side. I got a big enough garage... might as well!

I might even wrap my motorcycle... hmm now THERES an interesting thought!
