Foil Wrap - What do you guys think

Im thinking of getting my C4S Foil Wrapped. Ive seen some other cars around with it on and I really like the look of it. (there is a nice one posted on the tt/Gt2 board - have a look...)
Here in Dubai it costs something like US 4-5,000 to get it done. Much more expensive than other places I've checked. so before getting it done, would appreciate any feedback on it.

thanks -
peace.

can't imagine vinyl holding up against the sun. if it is a dark color it'll probably fade eventually.

I saw several Porsche, Infiniti and other cars with it in Dubai as well. Looks really nice. I don't know how it will hold up against the sun during the summer time; especially worried about the adhesive.

Where did you get a price quote from? Foil-A-Car at the GSS Service station next to defense round about? Sounds like a lot of money to me.

hi

Have not been to their office, but I know it's behind the Shangrila Hotel, next to the gas station/Car Wash.

I heave it was around AED15,000 and prices keep going up. just like everything else in dubai.

Very true. Prices always getting higher and higher here. I would try to ask for some discount though as the euro/usd has fallen and they are based in germany. Aim for 20%-30% off.

Good luck and post some pictures if you do the foil ;-)
