For this white Audi A4 B8 sedan, I vinyl wrapped the roof in my gloss black vinyl material. In addition to the roof, I also blacked out the chrome/brushed aluminum window trim, but with my matte black vinyl materials instead of the gloss black for those pieces. The gloss black roof really gave the car a sportier look without making it look too modified or aftermarket. It looks like as if it is something that could have came from the factory like this. The owner of the car drove out to me in Anaheim Hills/Orange County from Los Angeles to get the vinyl work done.

For this black Audi SQ5 SUV, I blacked out the chrome/brushed aluminum window trim, roof rail racks, side mirrors and the grey center sections in the front area of the grill. We went with the gloss black to have it blend in and match the already gloss black finish and color of the car. For the mirrors, I wrapped the gloss black material up until the line/indentation on the mirror caps themselves. The owner was local to me in Orange County, and we were able to figure something out where I came to his shop location and did the install there for him.

In addition to vinyl wrapping, I have started offering plasti dipping services.

I did quite a bit of work on this Black Mercedes Benz E350 blutech. I blacked out the chrome/brushed aluminum window trim, lower chrome door pieces, and rear trunk chrome bar with my gloss black vinyl material, lightly smoked/tinted the tail lights, plasti dipped the wheels, rear badges, and front grill. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the front grill after I was done. The owner of this car came from San Diego up to me in Anaheim Hills/Orange County to have the vinyl work and plastidip work done on his car.

The owner of this black Audi A4 B8 sedan had me black out the chrome window trim on his car with my matte black vinyl material. There was a small fire somewhere after the car was done, so it caused the pictures to have a weird hue in them, so don’t mind that. Either way, I think the matte black finish over the chrome completely changed the look of the car on this black Audi. It gave the car a sporty look while still looking OEM and like it came from the factory that way. The owner of this car came out to me in Anaheim Hills/Orange County to have the vinyl wrap work done.

Had this white Audi a4 sedan come in a bit late, so the pictures aren’t the greatest, since I had to take the pictures inside. For this car, we went with the gloss black vinyl finish for the roof of the car, to give it the panoramic roof look and so that it’d match the glass sunroof as well. The car already had blacked out the majority of the other chrome pieces on the car, so the gloss black roof really tied everything in very well. The owner of this car was from around Los Angeles I believe and came out to me in Anaheim Hills/Orange County to have the vinyl work done.

This is a repeat customer of mine from one of my norcal/bay area trips. I typically make trips up there 2-4 times a year, depending on how busy I am down here in socal. I have had people in other areas, such as the east coast ask if I will be making a trip out there, and I do have some future plans in the works for that. For this silver/grey Audi A8, he had me wrap the chrome trim/accent on the rear bumper with the 3M 1080 gloss carbon fiber finish, to give it a slightly different look. It’s a small subtle change, but it does give the car a slightly more aggressive and sportier look, to an otherwise larger luxury styled car.

I blacked out the chrome window trim on this black Audi A5 coupe with my matte black material. For this car, we went with the matte black finish over the gloss black finish to give it some contrast with the gloss black paint on the car. This was one of the cars that I did during my trip up to norcal/bay area. The matte black trim went well with the darker colored wheels as well. Completely changed the look of the car and gave it a more aggressive/sporty look, while still maintaining an OEM look as well.

The owner of this white Ferrari FF coupe has had several of his previous cars worked on by me in the past for different vinyl wrap projects. *For his Ferrari FF, we went with the my gloss black vinyl materials for the roof of his car to give it a panoramic roof look and also give it a more aggressive look. *Even though the car already stands out from other cars, the gloss black roof really changed the look of the car even more in a positive way. *The owner of this car was local to me in Yorba Linda and came out to my shop in Orange County to have the vinyl work done. *Also, the purple hue in the pictures was because this car was finished just as the sun was going down and the lighting of the sky was a bit purpleish that day, which translated over into the pictures.

The owner of this brand new 2015 Audi A3 sedan came by to have me vinyl wrap the chrome/brushed aluminum window trim of his car with my gloss black vinyl material. We went with gloss black to give it a factory OEM look. The lighting made it a bit hard to take pictures of the white car, but I was able to take some close ups of the car, which showed the transformation and details better. The owner of the car came out to me in Anaheim Hills/Orange County to get the vinyl work done.

Lately, more and more SUV or bigger bodied car guys have been bringing their cars by to have vinyl work done. The owner of this black Audi Q7 SUV had me vinyl wrap the chrome window trim on his car with my matte black vinyl material. In addition to wrapping the roof, I plasti dipped the grill in a matte black finish as well to match. It was a night and day difference for this car, especially with his already tinted windows and since there was no other chrome on the car other than the pieces I wrapped and dipped. The owner of this car was from south Orange County and came up to me in Anaheim Hills to get the vinyl work done.
