Yes. Lyle from Lyle's Vinyl Styles does a great job and stands 200% behind his work.
he can be reached at (650) 743-8034. 2slow got his done there. Did an excellent job.
He's a good friend. call him and tell him Johnson told u to give him a call. I believe it was around $300, but the quality is near perfect that you cant even tell if its painted or not.

If you need some straight vinyl, I have some extra left over that I can sell you.

Vincent at Omega Tintwerks wraps entire cars with vinyl for races. I mostly use him to do my ClearBra and tint jobs. You should check him out. He's usually not happy with the job until you are. I tend to find his standards even higher than mine and I'm super picky.

I just talked to the guys at Omega and they said they aren't really offering the vinyl wrapping of cars to their customers. Mainly just tint and clearbra. But they said if we bring in the pre-cut vinyl they could do the install no problem.

Cheap, but it's 2 piece.

Lyle does one piece. Great guy, great work!

I totally agree, Lyle is the man and he is a perfectionist!

He did some work on my other cars, A+ service and quality! I'm going to have Lyle work on my IS2 roof real soon.
