My cousin keeps asking me where he can get his car wrapped matte black, and idk any places around the city. Do any of you know where I can find a car "wrapper" ??? Looks like this:

Never did it, don't know how to, I've always preferred paint over anything I'm against wraps but my cousin wants to keep OEM color in case he wants to re sell.

I'm looking right now, it looks like a really really detailed job.

It's is a very detailed job. Definitely not a DIY project. The material alone is very expensive & once u mess up its no good. Duggal in NYC & the sign guy by custom signs both do vehicle wraps. The latter is located in staten island. Be aware it can get very expensive. I got quoted about 4k for a small Honda fit.

"The tint shop" in great neck does it I'm pretty sure. They wrapped the front end of my Aston and it came out great.

I wouldn't do it right now, I would wait till the spring/summer. The job isn't all that hard and the materials aren't really that expensive. I did two wrap jobs, one on a H2 hummer and the other mas Lincoln Mark viii. The Lincoln was the first job I did.

That is pretty cool. I didn't know that you could do this. Does the wrap feel like rubber to the touch once its on the car or does it harden? How does this hold up to scratches and dirt?

plastidip it!

Doesn't have a rubber feel, at least the brand I used. As for holding up to the elements, I have no idea as I don't own either car I did. I do see the H2 from time to time and it looks good to me. The warranty was for 5 years if used outside for the 3M brand. The good thing about it though is if a panel were to get scratched you only need to replace that section..

I got the clear bra for my car and it's great. I even did the windshield. You should definitely do it for your gtr.
