3M Matte Graphite Wrap Done! Black Accents PICS!

Hi guys, thanks for looking. I just finished a pretty big transition on my 2010 G37X. Some of you may have seen my original look which was Black on Black with Teal Accents. I decided to make a change and go with a full 3M Vinyl Matte Graphite Wrap. Caliper Match. Satin Black Stance SC-5 Wheels. Black accents all around.

Take a look at the progression and hope you like the pics!
We shot on a beautiful fall day.

BIG THANK YOU to ACI Dynamix in Seymour, CT. They did all the work. Very professional and the finished product is amazing. Video coming too. The WIDE BODY M1 in the last pic is the shop owners. 600HP!
Also has GT-R. I highly recommend contacting them if you are in the CT/NY AREA. Here is the wrap progression and some pics from the shoot.

Hope you like.

Fantastic! But that BMW in the last pic looks like a clown car.

Looks great man, now all you need to do is buy my stage 1.5 GTM supercharger kit to complete the transformation!! I am also looking to do something similar with my car in the future. What kind of products do you use to wash and take care of your new matte finish?

@ ANMVQ - Thanks man! It was definitely a perfect day to shoot. The leaf pic is my fave. I also have the answer to that question for you regarding the negotiation of a lease at the end of the term. I will PM you.

That looks SOOO good, what a quality job and great choice on color & trim. Beautiful camera shots too About the only thing I think I'd change is the front grill emblem, IMO it would have some nice pop if it was the same as your body wrap. Just the face of the emblem though, I'd keep the rest of the emblem black. Similar to my CF wrap emblem here where just the face is gray~

Look nice and protect your original paint too.
So how long did it take and how much? If don't mind me asking?
Thinking about doing vinyl or plasti dip in the future.

Hey man, costs vary from like $2,000-$4,000 depending on how much material you need. Mine was $2,300. It usually takes a few days. It can be done quicker but if you want it done right, it's good to take time to make sure everything is perfect. Hope this helps!
