Thanks fellas! I've already been asked if my car was plastidipped.... :wtf:

Haha.

It looks great, but I can foresee comments like those becoming a regular thing. I have never seen a vinyl orange wrapped car in person, but only plastidipped bright colors (orange, lime green, blue, etc.)

When you gonna get the wheels powdercoated?

This thing gets so much attention it is unreal!
Hopefully I can get the wheels powdercoated as soon as I find a reputable place to do it. It seems like my only options are to send them off if I want them done right.

This orange looks different in every type of light!

I think you should have done the roof and the trunk lid as well, looks great though.

The roof was the part that I really wanted to stay black, it resembles a gloss roof, or panoramic roof. The trunk was something we decided to leave black to see how it would look. If I decide to change that, it wouldn't take but 20 minutes to wrap the rest of the trunk.

Wellll you asked to stand out, thats for sure lol

This is true! :thumb2:

Thanks man! I didn't do the actual wrap, my friend did. However, watching him do it, I can say that I do not have the patience to do it. He worked on it for a full week, for a few hours every day. The bumpers were the most challenging, but the quarter panels took the longest. The first quarter panel took him 5 1/2 hours, but the 2nd one took closer to 3 hours. It is a matter of learning how to work around certain parts of the car. I'm sure if he did another Mustang he could probably do it in half the time.

I kept telling him that, but 'dulla's stubborn.

Shuddup! I like it black....wait what?

Welcome to the GO club?!?! LOL looks killer bro!

Haha, it could pass as GO in certain light! Thanks man!

Rice..j/k looks very cool!:)

It is ricetastic! Thanks bro!

Definitely different. Nice job on the wrap.

Thanks! I couldn't be happier with how it came out!

Thanks man! I love it as well, most people don't agree with leaving some parts black.

If I had a money tree then I wouldn't be here!

Car looks killer............trade me wheels. LOL

No way Jose! I'll let them go for the right offer. :thumb2:

That's an SC300 btw.

Duh, I don't know why I wrote LS300, they don't even make those. :crazy:

Hey I have seen that Matte black powder coated wheels on an Orange car somewhere

Haha, I would do them in Matte black, but the roof, mirrors and trunk are gloss black. I don't think it would look right.
