Are you thinking of trying this yourself, or finding a pro? As a DIY, I suppose everyone has to start somewhere, right? And you've already had some familiarity with wrap. I bet you the material alone would cost anywhere from $500 to $1000. And another $2-3K for a professional job.

I'm pulling these numbers out of my hat, but still... not an insignificant project.

Should be pretty easy to do a quality install, I've helped a friend wrap a hood and roof and that was a snap, and have done enough vinyl accessories that have fairly complex shapes. The only area that concerns me would be the front bumper and I could always take that off and have a shop do it if it turns out to be above my pay grade. The great thing about all the current wrap vinyls is the air release technology, really simplifies the install. The bumper w/ the proper heat and adhesion promoters like the 3M 96 Primer should be within my reach, we'll see. Cost for the vinyl, installation tools, & primer would be around $500.
I'm looking forward to exploring the possibility, so we'll see what turns up.
Glad you like the color, here's the color palette and the one I'm leaning toward is the Night Blue Metallic.

That's a hell of a task but if anyone can do a DIY wrap it's you. Can't wait to see the final product.

I do. Perhaps if you baby step into the project first, and wrap the roof as proof of concept without breaking the bank?

I'm interested to see how this turns out. That's a nice color and should look excellent when done. You're giving me a few too many ideas I'm afraid...

I think that night blue metallic would look sick on your sedan. There's a guy on the G35/37NYC Facebook group that has his coupe wrapped a similar color. Idk if he's a member here but here's a couple shots to give you an idea of the look.

Oh I like that. Matte cars don't do it for me

Thought you would of caught that immediately, you're a very observant fellow. You'd better be real careful now if you trash any of my future mods

Making friends with a Mod is a valuable asset. Maybe not today, or for any particular reason just yet... but someday.

Brad is a cool guy. He checks up on me every now and then. I am glad there are members like him on the forum. Plus who else am I going to go back and forth with on wheel fitment
