Ok .. so dont sweat quality.. the dude gets flown out to wrap super cars and high end exotics.. so that aside..

I have an opportunity to do a full wrap.. by someone super competent and at a super deal.. im not sure i wanna yet.. but i wouldnt be looking for opinions if i wasnt thinking about it.. so here it is.. im thinking of doing a Laguna Seca wrap with some light artwork on it.. nothing too crazy but a little bit of paneling..

I can always peel it off later so i thought this might be something neat. What do you think?



Not even this many graphics.. but something like this.. in laguna seca





I put my fire retardant suit on because i have a feeling.. some of you are gonna hate this idea..

I think the idea of a wrap is a great idea. I think the graphics are a bad idea.

Once you've got it wrapped. You need wheels ASAP. Otherwise it'll look weird.

I had 2 different sets of 20s on it so far and i took them both off.. i put lorenzos on it first and it immediately felt like a 545i not a 550i.. i like my oems in satin for now.. im going back to a 20 soon a vossen cv2 or a forgiato dieci.. the thing is im going to get the rims for a super hook up and the price is what it is... its not going any lower or higher.. so the wrap only takes precedence because of timing.. the deal i can get on it will expire in september, so being wrapped and getting rims soon after i possible.. but getting rims and getting a rap later isnt.

i hated the rieger skirts.. and i wanted to do something different than the msports and i couldnt pull the trigger soon enough so thats why no skirt upgrade.. so if you have an idea on skirts lemme know.

rear bumper.. i have to agree.. it shoulda been done already but i was worried with no skirts it would be too low.

All that stuff WILL get done.. .the order is just messed up because im moving from tampa to san fran soon and i wont be able to have this guy wrap it after i leave unless i fly him out just to do it.. and then even if he does still do it on the low , there will be a plane ticket in then price..

If i wrap it i want SOME kinda graphic printed onto it somewhere.. i dont wanna go crazy.. but i want something printed on it somewhere.. just because its a wrap and because something CAN be screened onto it.. something subtle but obvious.. still classy.. but still there..

My buddy wrapped his 335i in satin black...just a touch above flat. Looks amazing! IMO no graphics leave that for the hondas. Also you will not be able to peel it off by yourself. Take it to a professional or you could wreck the paint.

so I ordered the AC/s rear addon and the skirts.. but looking at colors I found "frozen blue" it looks like it was an OEM performance option of a satin interlagos blue?
I'm thinking that might look alot sexier than the Laguna Seca....

do frozen blue, frozen grey or matte pearl white like this lambo and NO GRAPHICS! You could tattoo a cock on your forehead that doesn't mean you should do it.
