Still debating if I should take my car that far and do a BBK... I really want a C63 AMG by the end of this year so gotta think it through first.

I don't know what else to do to this car... Kind of bought everything I wanted to make it handle and look nice.

Maybe some different wheels?? Maybe a little extra bass in the trunk??

decisions decisions....

Loving your car... Whats the new color going to be???

I know you said you get wholesale prices on the vinyl, what are you paying and how much do you need to wrap the whole car?

From doing a quick search on the web it looks like it would cost me $450-600 for 40-50ft of 3m wrap, is that a decent price? Any suggestions on where to buy?

Thanks!!

I'm debating if I should do a chrome color. Was thinking about a green chrome.

Why don't I have you guys decide on what color I should wrap my car next???

PM coming your way!

after car is wrapped, do you still wash it and clean it the same way? does it come off easy?

To answer your question about the wrap... if the wrap is done properly you will have no issues with washing your car like you normally would. I always use meguiars soap to wash my car even when I had the wrap on. The wrap came off easy. As you can see in some of the pics, my little brother was the one who actually peeled off the vinyl. It took him about 30 minutes to remove it from the whole car without leaving any residue behind.

Shoot me a PM and I can hook you up on the Wald Trunk spoiler.

Friday afternoon I installed the ISF sway bars that I bought from Namster and I gotta say I do feel a difference in the way the car drives specially on the fwy.

You can definitely see the difference in thickness of the bars:







Installation was pretty straight forward and only took about 20 min using a jack and jackstands.

Also wrapped my grill trim in CF wrap:





Saturday I went to the Pre MFest meet which was hosted at Oakley Headquarters. Parked next to this beautifully wrapped ISF. Not sure who it belongs to but it made mine look completely stock! ha ha







He inspired me to slam my car even lower yesterday. I'm maxed on on these Function Form coilovers now, rub like crazy on hard turns but still kind of want to go lower

I usually charge about $1400-$1600 depending on the color and car we are wrapping. I probably wouldn't be your first choice when wrapping though because I would have to keep your car for about 1 1/2 weeks as I do have a full time job and only do wrapping after my normal work hours. If you're interested in learning how to wrap I can certainly help you out by teaching you how to wrap your interior trim pieces and stuff like that..

looks like you have some meaty tires, try a smaller tire size, that should help with the rubbing. Car looking good man.

Nope that is not my work on the ISF but I have to say it even had me fooled for a good 5 min until I noticed one section of the vinyl wrap peeling up. Whoever did that wrap did great work!

I'm running 245/40/18 and 225/40/18 on a 18x9.75 et20 and an 18x8.75 et25.
Don't really want to go super stretched as I do want functionality due to aggressive canyon driving at least once a week. Might consider dropping one size in tire height but not sure if that would make a big difference.
