Do you know any good places doing vinyl wraps?? My friend is looking for a full wrap, do you know if it's cheaper than a paint job?

average 3-5k is what i've heard. I don't remember which shops would do it off the top of my head, but it shouldn't be too hard to find. PM me if you need me to track someone down for you.

Final decission: gonna go with Scion tC Super White with 3 stage paint job and extra clear coat. Gonna start prep work in 2 weeks (car is gonna be ugly, all taken apart), then I'm gonna drop it off at the shop around 15th of August. Same time gonna powdercoat my rims "Tommy Gold"
P.S. not sure if u guys know....it's easy to go from black to white, it's harder to cover white with black

Speaking of vinyl... how about bedliner-coating the thing? I saw someone's truck done up completely in this stuff, but I'm planning on doing my Jeep kind of like this:


And my bike like this:


Doesn't scratch, shouldn't fade, but might add some weight... definitely a "matte" finish.
