I wrapped the car myself every time. It's been a while since I wrapped it but I believe I used like 5ft x 70ft. Don't go with cheap vinyl, you'll regret it both during the install process and when it comes time to remove it. I would go with quality brands like 3M, Avery, Hexis. When you remove the rear "lexus" and "is250" emblems, there will be little holes but no holes for the "L" logo in the trunk (at least not that I can remember). A quality roll of vinyl should only run you a couple more hundred dollars than a cheap chinese roll of vinyl. I charge between $2200 and $2500 depending on what car it is. So $2000 is not bad but if you decide to go with them, I would make sure to check out some of their other work. Some shops do really bad work. You do get what you pay for!

 

Yeah I've actually seen this guy's work up close at the last Driven show in Winnipeg. It looked rushed and definitely not worth $2k.

Where's a good site to order vinyl from? I haven't done a lot of looking but for rolls of 75ft x5ft, I'm coming up with prices of $650 (3M satin finish) all the way up to $1100 (Avery brushed finish).

 

your car is sick cant wait to see what you do to it next.

 

I know this is a long time ago, but I haven't really seen many 2IS run Rays Gramlights! Love your setup, I was wondering if you knew if I ran a 18x9.5 et 22 front and rear lowered to 1-1.5 finger gap, would I rub? What type of fender work would I have to do?

 

I for one have LOVED Gramlights ever since my intro into the import scene. WIsh I could afford a set on my 2IS.

As for your 18x9.5 et 22 specs, the rubbing will depend on the tire and how much you're truly lowered. But likely you'll have some front inner wheel well rubbing AND you'll want to roll the rear fenders.

Do you currently have, or have a plan to purchase, camber adjustments for the front/rear?

 

I am really new to working on wheel fitment so I don't have the camber thought out yet... Is there a specific kit I need to buy in order to adjust? I'm just trying to have flushed look and will consider camber kit if I have to!



I know this is ISF, but will fitment be similar? This is the look I want for my car, specifically with the meaty tires. He's running 18x9.5 +38 255/40 F, 275/35 R. ISF OEM fitment is
Size: 19 x 8 Front, 19 x 9 Rear inches
* Bolt Pattern: 5-114.3
* Offset: 45mm Fronts / 55mm Rears
