- Gloss black roof
- Gloss black window trim - Plasti dip rear badges The owner of this white Audi A6 sedan came by my shop in Anaheim Hills / Orange County to have his roof wrapped in gloss black, black out his chrome window trim with gloss black to match the roof and also black out the rear badges with plasti dip. I had some people ask for some close up pictures of the plasti dip work that I do and also the edges of the roof where the wrap ends. The Audi doesn’t have traditional roof rails like most other cars to allow the vinyl to tuck into, but it is not an issue with my wraps and I am able to get the body line of the car to transition to the vinyled roof fairly well still. http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap3867.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap3868.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap3869.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap3870.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap3871.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap3872.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap3873.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap3874.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap3875.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap3876.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap3877.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap3878.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap3879.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap3880.jpg -Don Nguyen don@wannaberacer.com |
Overview:
- Tinted / smoked tail lights I lightly tinted / smoked the tail lights on this black Audi S5 coupe. I tried to take pictures of the tail lights at various angles and lighting, to help give you guys a better idea of how the tint film changes depending on how the light is hitting it. The light shade gives the car a fairly factory / OEM look still, but a nice noticeable change in overall look of the car. The film that I use is designed to mimic the look of how some cars come from the factory with already slightly darker tail lights nowadays. The owner of this car came out to me in Anaheim Hills / Orange County from Pasadena to have the vinyl wrap work done. http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap3892.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap3893.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap3894.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap3895.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap3896.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap3897.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap3898.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap3899.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap3900.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap3901.jpg -Don Nguyen Don@WannabeRacer.com |
Overview:
- Tinted / Smoked vinyl wrapped head lights - Plasti dip matte black front grill - 3M 1080 gloss carbon fiber lower center bumper lip For this black Audi S5 coupe, I lightly smoked / tinted the head lights, wrapped the lower center bumper lip in the 3M 1080 gloss carbon fiber, and I plasti dipped the entire grill in a matte black finish. We did keep the chrome rings on the front and also the S5 badge in the grill their original finish/colors. The owner of this car came out to me in Anaheim Hils / Orange County from San Diego to get the vinyl and plasti dip work done. People are sometimes worried that the tint on head lights will reduce light out put, but the shade is fairly light, so that the light output is essentially unaffected. The additional benefit of wrapping the head lights is the protection they provide from rock chips and also helps prevent it from fading/oxidizing.

Overview:
- Gloss black front grill - Gloss black window trim and rear trunk bar - Tinted / smoked rear tail lights For this black Mercedes Benz C63 AMG coupe, I blacked out the chrome trim pieces around the window, front grill, and rear trunk bar in my gloss black vinyl material, to give it a factory finish/look, similar to the black optics package that is available for these cars now. I also lightly tinted / smoked his rear tail lights as well. The chrome pieces were not all completely blacked out, which still gave the car some contrast. The work done gives the car a nice subtle change without making anything look after market. Most people would think that the car came this way from the factory. The owner of the car drove out to me in Anaheim Hills / Orange County from Pasadena to get the vinyl work done.

Overview:
- Gloss black vinyl roof wrap - Tinted / smoked tail lights For this Audi A4 B7 Sedan, we wrapped the roof of his car in my gloss black vinyl material and also lightly tinted / smoked the tail lights on the car. The tail lights were actually fairly dull and almost a matte finish before wrapping them, which can be seen in one of the close up pictures of the rear tail light. However, I was able to bring life back into them again and make them possibly even glossier / shinier than they were brand new from the factory. So even for those who are not looking to necessarily change the look of their car up, I am also able to vinyl wrap certain pieces/parts on the car to help restore certain faded/oxidized finishes. The owner of this car was from Fullerton brought his car to me in Anaheim Hills / Orange County to have the vinyl work done.

Overview:
- Gloss black window trim vinyl wrap - Gloss black front grill wrap Most people usually say that most vinyl wraps usually look the best on white or lighter colored car, but that is not the case, especially when it involves wrapping or covering up the chrome trim pieces on a car. If anything, the chrome accents on the car probably stand out even more so on a darker colored car than a lighter one. For this Lexus IS350 F Sport sedan, the owner had me vinyl wrap both the chrome window trim and front grill in my gloss black vinyl material. The owner of the car was from Riverside and came out to me in Anaheim Hills / Orange County to have the work done. As you can see in the side by side before and after picture that I have back to back, the change is subtle, but still improves the overall look of the car quite dramatically.

Overview:
- Gloss black lower front bumper lip wrap - Gloss black window trim vinyl wrap - Gloss black lower rear bumper chrome trim wrap - Gloss black trunk handle bar Mercedes, and even a lot of newer cars in general, have for some reason decided to add a constantly increasing amount of chrome to every next generation of car that is produced. For this particular Mercedes Benz E63 AMG sedan, he wanted to have the chrome on the lower front bumper, side window trim pieces, rear trunk handle, and lower rear bumper chrome blacked out in a gloss black vinyl finish. The owner of the car was from Inland Empire / Rancho and came out to me in Anaheim Hills / Orange County to have the vinyl car wrap work done. We didn’t completely black everything out and still left some chrome pieces on the car so that the car still retained some contrast.

Overview:
- 3M gloss carbon fiber rear spoiler vinyl wrap - 3M gloss carbon fiber lower rear bumper diffuser vinyl wrap Sometimes wraps can allow for certain parts on the car to blend in better, while other times wraps can add contrast to a car in positive ways. In the case of this Audi A7 sedan, instead of the typical blacking out of the chrome, etc, I ended up wrapping the rear integrated spoiler and lower rear diffuser in the 3M gloss carbon fiber vinyl finish. Since the car is already a dark color, the addition of these carbon fiber wrapped pieces still blends in with the car fairly well, but also still provides a noticeable contrast against the black color of the car.

Overview:
- Gloss black vinyl wrap roof - Gloss black window trim vinyl wrap - Smoked / tinted tail lights This is an old/previous customer of mine that came from outside the state of California to have the vinyl work done on his car. For his car, I vinyl wrapped the roof in gloss black, blacked out the chrome window trim and also lightly tinted / smoked his tail lights. Each item was a small change to the car, but changed the overall look of the car quite dramatically. I really liked the way the smoked / tinted tail lights on his car went with the color of the car. The two complimented each other fairly well.

Overview:
- Gloss black window trim vinyl car wrap Had some requests for some more close up pictures of the area where the trim meets the rubber weather stripping. For this grey Audi A5 coupe, I blacked out the chrome window trim on the car with my gloss black vinyl material. The owner of the car came out to me from Los Angeles / Torrance area to Anaheim Hills / Orange County to have the vinyl work done. We went with gloss over matte to blend with the tinted windows better and also match the black optics package that Audi now offers on some of their cars.

Overview:
- Gloss black vinyl roof wrap This is a previous customer of mine that had some vinyl work done by me as well. This time around, he brought by his white Mercedes Benz C63 AMG sedan to have me wrap the roof in my gloss black vinyl material. The gloss black blends in fairly well with the glass sunroof. The owner of this car was from Cerritos / Los Angeles and came out to me in Anaheim Hills / Orange county to have the work done. It is almost like this car was meant to come with a black roof, since the side roof rails and antenna for some reason come gloss black from the factory already as well.

Overview:
- Gloss black vinyl roof wrap - Gloss black rock / stone guard This white Porsche Panamera is another previous customer of mine. Seems like I have a lot of previous/return customers bringing in new/different cars to have vinyl work done to them, which is always a good sign that they were happy with the work done previously. For this Porsche Panamera, I wrapped the roof in gloss black and also freehand traced the faded side rear rock/stone guard piece. The car came with a factory clear stone guard film on there, but over time it had faded and turned yellow, so the owner of the car wanted me to wrap it in gloss black to match the rest of the black/white theme already on the car. I actually went out to the location of the car to do this install, as part of my mobile services that I have begun to offer.

Overview:
- Gloss black window trim wrap - Gloss black front grill surround vinyl wrap Even with this fairly stock white Lexus IS350 or IS250, after blacking out the chrome window trim and front grill, it really cleaned up the look of the car. The blacked out chrome trim pieces compliments the rest of the car fairly nicely. The owner of this car was from Cerritos and came out to me in Anaheim Hills / Orange County to get the vinyl work done. For this particular car, we also went with the gloss black finish over the matte black finish for the chrome pieces.

Overview:
- 3M Di-noc matte carbon fiber interior wrap Although most people probably go with the slightly glossier 3M 1080 carbon wrap for their interiors, the 3M di-noc matte carbon fiber is still a good option for those who want something that looks/resembles dry carbon more. The size of the weave and color also varies a bit between the two carbon fiber materials offered by 3M as well. For this BMW F10 M5 sedan, we vinyl wrapped the interior with the 3M di-noc matte carbon fiber finish vinyl material over the factory wood trim pieces on the car. The blend of the carbon fiber look and the aluminum trim accents compliment each other fairly well I think. The owner of this car was from Los Angeles / Inglewood or Santa Monica and came out to me in Anaheim Hills / Orange County to have the vinyl wrap work done on his interior.

Overview:
- Gloss black vinyl roof wrap This is another return customer of mine. I had previously tinted the tail lights and blacked out the chrome window trim. However, this time, the owner of this grey Mercedes CLA 250 sedan had me wrap the roof of his car in my gloss black vinyl material. The gloss black roof is a really nice subtle touch to the car, especially with the darker grey / silver color of the car. The owner of this car was from Fontana / Inland Empire and came out to me in Anaheim Hills / Orange County to have the vinyl work done on his car.

Overview:
- Tinted / Smoked Rear Tail Lights It doesn’t always take much to change the look of a car, such as in the case of this black Audi S6 sedan. For this car, I lightly tinted / smoked the rear tail lights. The slightly darker tail lights complimented the gunmetal finish that were on the wheels and really flowed well with the rest of the car. The shade that I use gives the car an OEM+ type look, as if it came from the factory this way or was a factory option. The owner of this car was from Pasadena Los Angeles and came out to me in Anaheim Hills / Orange County to have the vinyl work done on his tails.

Overview:
- Gloss black vinyl roof wrap - Gloss black window trim wrap - Plasti dip rear badges There have been quite a few Lexus RC-Fs coming by lately. One day, I had two RC-Fs back to back. On this particular car, I vinyl wrapped the roof and blacked out the chrome side window trim in my gloss black vinyl material. In addition to wrapping those pieces, I plasti dipped the rear badges on the trunk of the car. Plasti dip can be easy enough to use, but for those who have tried it, it can still take some skill to get it to come out perfect. I took some up close pictures of the plasti dipped pieces from various angles, to show how the pieces that I plasti dip look like. The owner of this particular car was from Oceanside / San Diego and came out to me in Anaheim Hills / Orange County to have the vinyl work done.

Overview:
- Gloss black vinyl roof wrap Although it is more common to see newer cars getting vinyl work done on their cars, I believe that adding gloss black on black roof on an older car can really update the look of the car and change the looks of it completely. The black roof gives it a nice update/change in look, without making it look out of place. It still flows well with the look of the car, even if the rest of it is still stock/factory. The owner of this car came out to me in Anaheim Hills / Orange County from Pasadena / Los Angeles to get the vinyl wrap work done.

Overview:
- Matte black vinyl roof wrap Matte black is a good alternative to gloss black wraps for those who want to add a bit more of a contrast to the roof wrap or those who are trying to go for a more aggressive look. The owner of this Acura TSX sedan had me wrap his roof in my matte black vinyl finish. There are a lot of different brands of matte wraps out there, but I think the materials that I use provides one of the nicer shades of matte black, unlike the flat or chalk board looking types of matte wraps out there. The owner of this car was from Hollywood / Los Angeles and came out to me in Anaheim Hills / Orange County to have the vinyl wrap work done on his car. http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4101.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4102.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4103.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4104.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4105.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4106.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4107.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4108.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4109.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4110.jpg -Don Nguyen Don@WannabeRacer.com |
Overview:
- Gloss black vinyl roof wrap I believe most Teslas usually come with the black solar roofs already, but this particular Tesla Model S had a body colored roof from the factory, so the owner had me wrap it in my gloss black vinyl material. What would have made a big difference on the appearance of the car as well would have been if they were to also black out all of the chrome trim pieces that are on the car, such as the window trim, badges, etc. The owner of this car was from Downtown Los Angeles and came out to me in Orange County / Anaheim Hills to get the vinyl work done. http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4157.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4158.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4159.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4160.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4161.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4162.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4163.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4164.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4165.jpg -Don Nguyen Don@WannabeRacer.com |
Overview:
- Gloss black wrap on rear window piece Vinyl wraps can be used to restore factory pieces as well, such as on the rear the trim piece on the convertible top of this Mercedes SL500. More commonly, you’ll see this issue with the B pillars and such on most cars. The owner of the car came out to me in Anaheim Hills / Orange County from around south Oceanside / San Diego to have the vinyl work done. Everything else on this car was in fairly clean and good condition, except for these rear trim pieces, so the results afterwards made a subtle but a positive big change in the car’s overall appearance. http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4165a.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4166.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4167.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4168.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4169.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4170.jpg -Don Nguyen Don@WannabeRacer.com |
Overview:
- Glocss black to black out chrome door handles I do vinyl wraps that most other shops or craigslist wrappers would not want to try or would try unsuccessfully. I had previously blacked out all of the other chrome pieces and roof for this Maserati Quattroporte. However, the owner finally decided that the final remaining chrome door handles had to go as well. I don’t know why manufacturers still offer so much chrome on their cars, especially on an entire door handle like this, but that’s what I am here for. The owner of this car was in Irvine / Orange County, and I came out to him to do the work on his car. http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4182.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4183.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4184.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4185.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4186.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4187.jpg -Don Nguyen Don@WannabeRacer.com |
Overview:
- Carbon fiber lower front bumper lip vinyl car wrap - Carbon fiber grill surround vinyl wrap - Plasti dip grill black out A returning customer of mine brought his Mercedes Benz E class sedan to have me black out the chrome on the front and rear of his car. For the front, I vinyl wrapped the lower front bumper lip and also the grill surround in the 3M 1080 gloss carbon fiber vinyl material. However, the center of the front grill was plasti dipped a matte black finish. In addition the other front, I also wrapped the top center portion of the rear spoiler and also the chrome trunk bar in the same 3M 1080 gloss carbon fiber vinyl material. The owner of this car was from Beverly Hills Los Angeles and came out to me in Anaheim Hills / Orange County to have the vinyl work done on his car. http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4188.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4189.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4190.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4191.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4192.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4193.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4194.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4195.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4196.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4197.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4198.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4199.jpg -Don Nguyen Don@WannabeRacer.com |
It's that time again. I am making tentative plans on making a trip up to San Francisco/San Jose/Bay Area to do vinyl wraps again. Looking at possibly being up there possibly between January 1 - January 8th. I will make an official thread once the details are finalized.

Overview:
- Gloss black vinyl wrap over oxidized/faded carbon fiber Commonly enough, carbon fiber pieces can start to fade and oxidize, leaving an ugly and less than desirable appearance. The owner of this black E46 325i sedan came by to have me vinyl wrap the top of his faded carbon fiber trunk in my gloss black vinyl material. The trunk had actually deteriorated enough that the top gel coat near the edge of the trunk actually had “fallen” off. I have quite a few people ask me how vinyl looks like when applied over a rough or uneven surface, so I think these pictures will really be able to show you guys how the resulting finished product looks like. The owner of this car was from Torrance / Los Angeles and came out to me in Orange County to have the vinyl wrap work done. http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4200.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4201.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4202.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4203.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4204.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4205.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4206.jpg -Don Nguyen Don@WannabeRacer.com |
Overview:
- Gloss black window trim - Gloss black rear trunk bar - Tinted / smoked rear tail lights For this black Mercedes Benz S550, I blacked out the chrome window trim, rear trunk bar, and also lightly tinted the rear tail lights. The changes to the car cleaned up the lines of the car greatly and really worked well with the tinted windows and black wheels. It was almost a must needed to do thing for this car. The car still maintained some of the factory chrome pieces, so that it still provided a good balance and contrast to the car. The owner of this car was from Los Angeles / Beverly Hills and came out to me in Anaheim Hills / Orange County to have the vinyl work done. http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4207.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4208.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4209.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4210.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4211.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4212.jpg -Don Don@WannabeRacer.com |
Overview:
- Carbon fiber roof wrap - Matte black window trim vinyl wrap - Matte black door handle inserts vinyl wrap I wrapped the roof of this car in carbon fiber and blacked out the chrome window trim and door handle inserts in matte black. The following set of pictures will be good for those who want to go with matte black for the window trim or were debating between gloss black or matte black on the window trim. To give the car a more aggressive look, we went with the carbon fiber finish on the roof top. Then to match and compliment the already matte black wheels, we went with matte black on the window trim and door handles. The owner of this car came out to me in Anaheim Hills / Orange County from Los Angeles / Glendale to have the vinyl work done. http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4213.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4214.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4215.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4216.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4217.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4218.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4219.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4220.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4221.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4222.jpg -Don Don@WannabeRacer.com |
Overview:
- 3M Di-noc matte carbon fiber vinyl front lip wrap For this blue Lexus IS, I vinyl wrapped the front lower bumper lip in the 3M di-noc matte carbon fiber finish. The carbon fiber finish gives the lip a nice finished look, versus the black plasticky finish that the lip originally came as. It also adds a nice more aggressive look/finish to the lip and car overall.

Overview:
- Gloss black roof rack rail vinyl wrap chrome delete - Gloss black window trim vinyl wrap - Gloss black door handle chrome delete - Tinted / smoked rear tail lights - Debadged rear trunk emblems Quite a bit of work was done on this black Audi Q5 SUV. The large chrome roof rack rails that run along the length of the roof and the chrome window trim on both sides of the car make up a fairly good portion of the overall surface area on the car. By wrapping just these chrome pieces in my gloss black vinyl material alone completely cleaned up the lines of the car, making it look more aggressive and giving it a cleaner look as well. I also blacked out the chrome on the top of the door handles and rear trunk lid lower chrome bar. To finish things of in the rear, I lightly smoked / tinted the rear tail lights and debadged the emblems. The owner of this car was in Newport Beach / Orange County and came out to me in Anaheim Hills to get the vinyl work done. http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4227.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4228.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4229.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4230.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4231.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4232.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4233.jpg -Don Don@WannabeRacer.com |
Overview:
- Gloss black roof vinyl wrap - Gloss black chrome window trim delete vinyl wrap - Gloss black lower side skirt vinyl wrap I did a fair amount of vinyl work on this white Mercedes Benz CLA 250. To add some character to the car, we went with gloss black on the roof, for the side chrome window trim pieces, and finished it off with the lower side skirts. Even though quite a bit was done to the car, if someone were to look at the car, you may have thought the car came like this from the factory. The owner of this car came out to me in Anaheim Hills / Orange County from San Diego / Oceanside to get the vinyl work done on their car. Overall, the car turned out very nicely and will compliment any future mods they do or look good as is, even if nothing else is done to the car. http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4234.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4235.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4236.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4237.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4238.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4239.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4240.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4241.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4242.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4243.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4244.jpg -Don Don@WannabeRacer.com |
Overview:
- Gloss black lower rear bumper vinyl wrap Working with the existing contours and shape of the factory pieces on a car, it is possible to provide a nice contrast/accent, while maintaining a fairly factory look the car. This is good for those who want to make your car look different from all of the other similar cars on the road, without going too extreme or marking the car look too modified. For this Lexus GS300 Sedan, I worked with the lower rear contours of the bumper and wrapped that area in a gloss black vinyl material. This created a nice subtle effect that changed up the look of the car. The owner of this car came out to my shop in Anaheim Hills / Orange County to have the vinyl work done. http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4245.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4246.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4247.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4248.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4249.jpg -Don Don@WannabeRacer.com |
Overview:
- Gloss black roof vinyl wrap To change things up a bit, I took an “in progress” picture of the roof, kind of showing how the roof looks like before, during, and after the wrap. It’s a bit more work to take the in progress pictures, but if this is something people would be interested in seeing, I could consider doing it more often in the future. For this white Audi A4 sedan, I wrapped the roof of the car in my gloss black vinyl material. The owner of this car was from downtown Los Angeles area and came out to me in Anaheim Hills / Orange County to get the vinyl wrap work done. The black roof went well with the black optics package that the car already had from the dealer. http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4250.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4251.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4252.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4253.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4254.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4255.jpg -Don Don@WannabeRacer.com |
Overview:
- Matte black roof vinyl wrap For this white Lotus Evora, the owner of the car wanted to go with my matte black vinyl wrap material on the roof of the car and also the lower side skirts/rockers of the car. The matte black roof wrap provided a nice contrast with the rest of the car and really provided the car with some more defined lines to show off the shape of the car. The owner of this car came out to me in Anaheim Hills / Orange County from Walnut to get the vinyl work done on his car. http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4256.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4257.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4258.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4259.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4260.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4261.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4262.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4263.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4264.jpg -Don Don@WannabeRacer.com |
Overview:
- Gloss black vinyl roof wrap Lately I have gotten some more SUVs in to get vinyl work done. Probably a progression of those who modified their coupes/sedans before, but now had to get a bigger family car haha. The owner of this white Land Rover Range Rover had me wrap the entire roof his car in gloss black. Unlike most roofs, the roof on this Range Rover was made up of many separate sections, which made it quite a bit of work to wrap, but the end results looked good. The owner of this car was from Beverley Hills Los Angeles and came out to me in Anaheim Hills Orange County to get the vinyl work done. http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4265.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4266.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4267.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4268.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4269.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4270.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4271.jpg -Don Don@WannabeRacer.com |
Overview:
- Gloss black vinyl roof wrap - Plasti dip rear/side/front emblems For this white Mercedes C63S coupe I plasti dipped the rear/side/front badges to black them out. However, for the rear S on the C63S portion, I left it chrome to give it some contrast still. I also blacked out the rear half of the roof to finish off the black roof look, filling in that large white area that Mercedes leaves body colored. Overall, fairly minor changes to the car, but sometimes you only need a few minor things done to really tie in and finish up the look of the car. http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4272.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4273.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4274.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4275.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4276.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4277.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4278.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4279.jpg -Don Don@WannabeRacer.com |
Overview:
- Gloss black window trim vinyl wrap Simple things such as wrapping the chrome window trim on this Mercedes Benz C300 in gloss black vinyl can completely change the look of the car. I know vinyl wrapping isn't for everybody, especially with all of the different finishes/colors out there these days, but I am sure the majority of people can agree that black trim over chrome on most cars really cleans up the lines of the car. There may be a few who still favor chrome, but there's a reason why black trim comes as standard on most top level/tier cars from BMW, Mercedes, Audi, etc. The owner of this car was from Newport Beach and came out to me in Anaheim Hills / Orange County to have the vinyl wrap done on their car. http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4280.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4281.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4282.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4283.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4284.jpg -Don Don@WannabeRacer.com |
Overview:
- Plasti dip grill - Plasti dip front / rear badges - Smoked tinted head / tail lights - Blacked out lower front bumper / side panels / rear bumper silver trim line vinyl wrap - Debadged rear trunk HSE emblem For this black Land Rover Range Rover HSE, I think if most people saw only how the car looked like after I did all of the vinyl wrap and plasti dip work, most would probably have thought that the car came that way from the factory. However, the before/after pictures show everything. The black wrap, plasti dip, and light tinting done completely changed the look of the car to give it a sporty look and feel, while maintaining a very factory look. Some people describe this as an OEM+ type of look. The owner of the car was located in Beverly Hills Los Angeles and brought the car out to me in Anaheim Hills Orange County to have the vinyl wrap and plasti dip work done. http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4285.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4286.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4287.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4288.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4289.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4290.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4291.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4292.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4293.jpg http://www.wannaberacer.com/carwrap/carwrap4294.jpg -Don Don@WannabeRacer.com |
