[QUOTE=himself;7488210]Yup. SkinzWraps. Great company to work with!


I haven't put it up on the scales yet, but I'm guessing maybe 10-20 lbs (if that much). So now my car will weigh 3060 with fluids


Airrik, it was a joke.


Oh, ok I get it now ha ha Carbon fiber yes makes everything lighter.
Wouldn't it be great if this wrap material could somehow keep you under the radar with cops, deflect the ka bands etc. If there was a way they could make this car wrap reflect laser then the car would be used for "Stealth". $4500 may be worth it then for sure.

Hey, if you dont like my rims, that's cool, I don't like the wrap. everybody is entitled to their own opinion. I actually think your car looked great before the wrap. If you post pics, soliciting an opinion, some will not be favorable.

Awesome! Who's doing your wheels. I'd like to have my Fuchs wheels done in black w/ red inserts. Any local suggestions? I'm in Dallas.

Like the Porsche dealer that tried to tell me I need all new rotors on my car after just 5,000 miles on the car.

I told him in no uncertain terms to f-ck himself. Actually those are the exact words I used.

Well, these guys only do high end cars so to do it right (from their booK), they need to blend-in the color to the hood, front bumper, left and right fenders. Basically the whole front is repainted. Anyway for that price, I would think twice before pulling the trigger. For now I can live with a couple of inches paint blemish on the hood...
