3M Canada

I think the 3M install arm up here in Canada is "Trim Line". I have used them for clear bra application of whole front end.
Typically not the cheapest - but product line is the actual 3M stuff as opposed to knock off or 2nd line product ( if that makes any sense?)

Wow man, that looks real good. I'm not too much on the "flat" non-gloss painted surfaces but that one difinitely catches my eye. Those XXRs are a perfect match as well.

Thanks 03tLsNBP for posting the "wrapped" TL pic. I' ve never actually seen a TL with full wrap before, wasn't too sure about the look.....but that's rather kool !

I have seen other smaller imports and even once a Viper done in this "matte wrap".
It's rather unique and stealth appearing in my opinion. Go for it Shaddy !

Oh sorry that wasn't a vinyl wrap that I posted. It was painted. I was just showing what a matte blue would look like.

Here are some pictures of my car from today's trip to the Apache lake. Mine is 100% wrapped. I used the $1 per roll Chinese wraps, took me 25 wraps to cover the car.

That's unique man. Apologies for my ignorance on the technique involved but what actually adheres the wrap to the car? Heat? Chemical reaction...flux capacitor radioactivity? Lmao. I find it interesting but not very classy as to my liking. Seems like more of a "ricer" type thing (no offense).

The concept behind applying the wrap is very simple. It is the same as applying a sticker or scotch tape. You peel it off, you stick it on the car. It is very easy to do on the flat surfaces, when you hit curves it becomes a pain as you have to use the heat gun and stretch/pull the wrap to make it stick.

As far as looks go, I did it as MK2 try to see if you can change he car's appearance completely for under $100. Plus 10 year old Asian cars and "class" are not compatible in my view, unless you are talking some one-off supercar. If this car was new, fast, and rare I would never bother with the wrap.

But wrap is perfect for anyone who has an older car, crappy paint job, or just wants to change the looks of the car on the budget. I never worked with wrap before, but it is a lot more enjoyable than paint. It leave no mess, prep work is minimal and you can do it ANYWHERE.

Nice job. I was considering a paint job after I install type S lip kit. I thought plasti dip was cheap & easy so I was thinking of doing that instead but it would be reapplies constantly. After seeing your results with wrap, I.m going with wrap instead. Probably 2 tone. Black/Grey

Interesting concept with the wrap. Might have to see it in person one day. What part of AZ are you in?

Where did you get it from for that price? This is perfect for my civic until I can finish getting the parts, and getting it painted the color I want.
