carbon covered calibra

If I had a air horn I would be blowing it and screaming no right now. Please don't vinyl wrap the car. As amazing as the idea sounds its not. I had mine done by a professional Company that used 3m vinyl and they F****d it right up. It was fully wrapped for 2 weeks in total before I ripped the whole lot off. The straight panels were ok but they just couldn't do the bumpers as there were to many curves. Understandable I mean look at the front grill for instance. Looks a right f****r to wrap. If u wrap it u will regret it. Check out my link. Pics are on website under wrapping.
