Thanks for sharing photos.

More pics ?

 

Cool. Let's see more pics!

 

What about the headlights? I want to wrap my car from yellow to red but the guy said he will not even try to pry out the cover for the 360. Nice job though!


Sent from my Ferrari F430 & 360

 

Major update. Looks great.

Deserves much better pics than this.

Also, how much?

 

very cool. wrapping technology is amazing. what is the expected life of the wrap? how do you maintain it?

 

Very nice! Are the stripes original paint (no wrap)?

More pics please - white is really nice on a 360!

 

Looks cool, more pics would be great.

Is that a euro car? I mention it because of the headlight washers.

 

I will post more pics this afternoon, no the stripes were added. Love the white, not sure if i am crazy about the stripes though, should i leave them on or take off? Cost $2,500

 

If my car has a clear bra on it - full front and side rockers....does this wrap go right over it?
and what about when taking off the wrap - does the clear bra come iff with it or is that saved?

 

Heres a few more.......

Leave the stripes it looks sick

 

I like it

Agree leave the stripe !

 

I thought it's almost scandalous to wrap a Ferrari but after seeing this.. I understand. Well done

 

Nice! Leave the stripes.

 

How will the wrap stand up to the heat from the exhaust pipes?

They guarantee it for 5 yrs

 

Great looking color! Love the combo. Is that satin white 3M?

I own a wrapping company in Daytona Beach, Florida and plan on doing my F430 this month with a brushed aluminum red something like the below picture.

Disclaimer.. We did not do this car. Just offer advice for those that have questions. I just wanna say beware and do your research on the company before you get it done. Like a paint job, there are inferior products and installers who'll provide you a low price but you'll get what your paying for.

We usually ask the customers if they really want it on since the vinyl will be protecting your paint anyways. Depending on the vinyl you will see a slight indentation underneath the vinyl from the bra. No guarantees that it will not come off with the vinyl.

The heat shouldn't be a problem. As a matter of fact heat (torch / gun) is used to stretch the vinyl to a certain extent when applying is in corners etc.

Anywhere around 5 years depending on the manufacturer. We only use 3M and 5 years. Maintenance is ALOT easier than a basic car, soap, water, and dry it. Usually it's almost dry by the time you rinse off the other side. No waxing, etc.

Sometimes you don't need to remove headlights, mirror's, etc. Depends on how good the installer is. I do not plan on having my installer taking out mine. It can be done.


Note: I am planning on time lapsing my wrap when I have it done this month and will post it for you guys.

 

Well, the 360 (and a few other cars) are very hard cars to wrap, just because of the headlights. Above it was mentioned that a Yellow car wanted to become Red, which on the car itself is very easy, however, you would then be left with a ''Rosso Red'' Ferrari, with YELLOW headlights. Stylish. Its beyond my comprehension how this can be done without A: removing the headlights and B: changing the color inside.

On the F430 is a another story as on 99% of the cars, the headlights are not color coded.

Black / and (dark) Grey color 360 are really the only color cars that wrap well without performing surgery to the headlights but to the universal color of the headlights.

 

Got it! I didn't catch that and now it makes since. I agree..

 

What happens inside the door sills? Does it just remain OEM colors?

Thank!

 

Yes, unless you request to have it done. Like a paint job, it requires more time, effort, and materials. When I do mine I usually don't do it just because the vinyl does slightly go into the doors so it's not exposing the other color when the door is closed. I can definitely be done though! Hope this helps.
