Why would you want to Plastidip or vinyl wrap your car anyway? Is there something wrong with the paint job? Bad color ?

because my rear bumper's paint is really messed up and i really dont have the extra $1000 to get it repainted. All my money is set aside for upgrades
plus, i always wanted a matte black car, seems more stealth lol

A civil and straightforward answer. Sounds like a good reason. Thank you ! I have no idea what particlewave is ranting about. I didn't see anyone "bashing" anything on this thread ! I guess to him asking someone to explain why they might do something to their car is called "bashing" it. That's not "how I roll!"

Man! Don't do it! My Boxster was parked next to a Lambo Diablo owned by an amature vinyl wrapper who does window tinting for a living. It looked so gettho and inappropriate. If that's what you are looking for go for it. A Boxster is way too classy to abuse with wrap. IMHO.
