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!"

Passive aggressive bashing is still bashing. And the less disguised passive aggressive bashing was coming, as I knew and as you can see. I read these and other forums enough to know...let's not play stupid, eh?
It wasn't a rant. It was meant to be taken somewhat lightly until you decided to call me out twice and make a show of it.
:troll:

I stick by my guns, OP.
Go for it. If you take your time and don't accept imperfections, it can turn out nice.
I don't have any more troll food, so I'm out!
Good luck!

Its your car

Do what you like, but I recommend getting someone to do it for you...not an easy task by any means. Wrapping a car is like polishing a Japanese Sword........something any 10 year old can do with 20 years experience

Absolutely no idea what you're talking about. I think you need to take another Prozac !

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.
