This is a bit different, but I know you guys seeing more pictures of various and different type of wrap jobs than the regular roof, trim, etc wraps. I did a partial car wrap for the top half of this 2013 white Land Rover LR4 HSE. For this car wrap, we did the top half of the car in 3M 1080 gloss black vinyl material. I believe the owner of this car said that it’s suppose to resemble how the new Range Rover Autobiography editions come from the factory. I took two pictures of the during vinyl wrapping process, to show you guys how what it looks like during the transformation. The owner of this car was in Irvine and came out to me in Anaheim hills/Orange county to have the car wrap done for his car.

From big car wrap jobs to small car wrap projects, we do them all. The owner of this brand new Estoril Blue BMW F30 335i sedan came by to have me apply a gloss black vinyl car wrap to the lower side portions of his front bumper. This gave it a black front splitter effect, but maintaining the stock factory OEM BMW lines and curves of the bumper. The advantage to this as well is that it is completely reversible without any affects on the paint. The owner of this car came out to me in Anaheim Hills/Orange County to have the vinyl work done.

The owner of this white Porsche 997 911 Carrera 2 had me apply a gloss black vinyl film to his roof and also lightly tint the head lights of his car. I did an install on location at the owner’s house for this car wrap. The drove out from Orange County to the Monrovia to do the gloss black roof and head light tinting car wrap. The lighting wasn’t the best, but I tried to do what I could with the pictures. I really like the way the light tint on the head lights turned out. It’s dark enough to change the look of the car, but not too dark that it stands out from the rest of the car or affects light output during night time.

Even small subtle changes to the car can change the look of the car. The owner of this silver BMW F10 M5 sedan brought his car by to me in Anaheim Hills/Orange county to have me apply some gloss black vinyl car wrap to the small chrome inserts on his door handles. Everything else on the car was already blacked out except for these pieces, so by blacking these out, it completed the look of the car.

I did this Audi TT back in my trip to norcal in December. The owner of this car drove out to me in San Jose to have the grey portion of his rear diffuser and lower front bumper splitter in the 3M 1080 gloss carbon fiber. The pictures of the rear diffuser did not come out as good, since the car was facing towards the sun. However, in the pictures of the front splitter, you can really see the weave and pattern of the carbon fiber vinyl in the sunlight fairly well. These small changes to the car still changes the look of the car quite a bit and is nothing something that is noticeable right away, but still gives it a sportier look.

Man I wish you were closer. I want to get the below done to my 996 since I don't like the covers, but haven't found anyone local to do it yet...

You don't like the covers but you want that style or same look with vinyl? I could probably do some pre cut pieces for you.

For this red Ferrari 458 I plasti dipped the front, rear, and top engine lid emblems/badges. I also blacked out the amber portion on his front bumper with my gloss black vinyl. For such a simple change, it really changed the look of the car quite a bit. Since there were no other chrome pieces on the car, after blacking out those chrome badges, it gave the car a sportier and more aggressive look, while cleaning up overall look of the car as well. The owner of this car was local to me and brought his car out to me in Anaheim Hills/Orange County to have the plastic dip and vinyl work done.

Correct. The covers don't seem to flow well. They look very aftermarket and they stick out a bit (IMO). The tint is so thin it just looks like it's part of the headlight. So yes, I like the look, just not the covers themselves.

If there is enough interest, I could create a template and make ship out pre cut pieces that you guys could install yourselves.

^ I'm sure you could sell the pre-cut pieces on the various forums as it's a pretty popular mod for the 996.

I'd be interested for sure. If you want me to be your first, feel free to send me a message with the details (pricing, payment, etc)

This is a returning customer who had me previous lightly tint the tail lights on his E92 M3. This time he had me come back to do the tail lights on his Audi V10 R8 as well. The film that I use is a fairly light shade, which is dark enough to give it a nice noticeable change and also still maintain a factory/OEM look. The owner of this car was in Irvine/Orange County near where I was so I dropped by his house to do the tail lights for his car.
