I completely forgot about this thread even though I had posted in it. I have been trying to decide what to wrap my car with and came across it again. Any updates of the final product?

So two rolls of that will be 9.2lbs. Subtract the cardboard tube in the middle and all the waste and I'd estimate you are adding about 8lbs to the car.sigpic

How much of this stuff does it take to do the car, coupe in particular.
I was thinking about filling/sanding the dents/dings and shaving the antenna and doing mine in matte white just so I don't have to bother with jambs as I'm already Alpineweiss.'91 318is, S50 swap, Bilsteing/H&R race, Recaro SRD, etc.

update:
thanks guys for all the comments! so i haven't been on the car for a while, too cold, not good lighting, got a day job so don't feel like hittin it hard on the weekdays after 6pm....
so i got the front splitter done, the trunk jams, both sides of the car, and started on the door jams. pics will be up soon! sorry for the long delay on the pics guys...
as for materials, i'm not sure exactly how much you need, but key would be to measure the car 1st, and them order materials. but you prob need around 45-50' of material. prob cost around $400/450'ish for the materials.
as for weight, don't worry about it, can't be more than 7-10lbs, not like your gonna scrape your car after wrapping it...

Where exactly did you order from? I'm interested in doing this for my touring. I'm assuming ever single panel needs to be a full sheet, no piecing them together? How do you get the vinyl to bend around corners for things like the corners of doors or hoods?For all things 24v, check out Markert Motorworks!Originally posted by mbonanniI hate modded emtree, I hate modded cawrz, I hate jdm, I hate swag, I hate stanceyolokids, I hate bags (on cars), I hate stuff that is slowz, I hate tires.
