Default New to me 2015 Nebula Grey GS350.

Hi guys,

I don't post much here but always browsing through great information and pictures of all the awesome GS350's in here. Figure I'll post mine up. I haven't done too much to it yet but slowly getting there. Excuse the crappy pictures.

Here are some stuff I have put on the car so far.....
-Volk Racing TE37 Ultra 19x9.5 w/ Michelin Pilot Sport 4S Square set up.
-Project Kics R40 Lug Nuts.
-Lexon Front Lip.
-Tanabe Revel Coil-Overs.
-Tanabe Exhaust.
-TOM's Front Upper and Rear Strut Bar.
-TOM's Oil Cap
-TOM's Carbon Vinyl Window Pillar Garnish.
-Elvin Carbon Fiber rear deck spoiler (Awesome guy to deal with, and great stuff!!) Working on getting some other stuff from him as well.
-HPS Intake w/ FSport Air Filter
-Wrapped with Avery Supreme Dark Grey Gloss Vinyl w/ Black Metallic Roof. (Since I don't drive this car daily, it took me about two weeks to finish the wrap)

Probably missing some other stuff. Just wanted to keep the car simple and not put too much to it. Last modification might just be a diffuser and BBK all around.

First day I got the car in December 2019......



How it sits now....

You bought a Gray car to wrap it Gray? To me the oem Nebula Gray paint looks 10x better than the primer gray wrap. The downside to gloss wrap is the orange peel, finish is not as smooth as paint. The satin wraps are smoother.

Here is a closeup of paint vs wrap:

Okay... your gift is understatement. You have done a LOT more than what most CL member have even tried. You must have been a Honda owner before... LOL.

Welcome! Luv those wheels and what you've done so far.

Avery Gloss Dark Grey and Nebula Grey is a big difference in person. I just wanted to try something new without going too crazy with the color due to this quarantine. You are correct about the Orange peel. It's really noticeable but it doesn't bother me at all. Like I said, this car sits all day in the garage, I literally put 200 miles on it since i got it...lol..
I'm probably going to try inozetek next since many people have said it comes close to the gloss of paint. Thanks for the sample picture and feedback.

Hi Eddie, actually no I didn't. I only went as far in so that paint wasn't exposed. It's my first time wrapping but my next try I will probably try and wrap inside depending on what color I get.

I really want to try out Inozetek. Their super gloss series really looks like paint with very minimal orange peel.

I agree. All the reviews and pictures I've seen I have yet to see the orange peel that most vinyl have. Hopefully I'll find someone that stocks it in my area.
