I have...I have done several wraps and play around with vinyl every so often.


...and thanks everyone! I'll take some real pictures of it soon. Im beat now though...must have rest.

 

Great work!

 

 

Damn J.... looking awesome!!

 

So much win. Looks great.


How did you do the wheels?

 

Thanks!

The wheels are plastidipped.

 

Wow, that is awesome! Really great job.

 

Awesome! Even more awesome that you did it yourself.

 

Very, very nicely done! I think I speak for most of us when I say that is one impressive wrap. When I saw the complexity of your design, I was thinking it was going to come out a hack job like that guy that turned his maxima orange in ramblings but clearly this is not the case.

Love the look!

 

I must say, it seriously looks awesome!

 

Oh man....I have to admit, I went looking through autotrader for MX5s after looking at your car. Awesome job, congrats.

 

Thanks for the compliments everyone, I was expecting some negative...but it's been overwhelmingly positive!

When I made the first post of what I was thinking I felt that sinking feeling of..."shit, what did I get myself in to."

 

It looks AWESOME! Congrats!

 

Killer, dude, there's nothing we could justifiably say that would be negative about such a well executed job. I do agree that after having black wheels, I'm not a huge fan of the plastdipped RFP1's BUT on a long road trip, it'll be nice to peel off the brake dust with the dip rather than having to detail the wheels.

 

That is awesome. Very well done.

Really makes me want to wrap my car sometime to change it up rather than deal with painting it so it isn't permanent.

 

^^ If you lived closer, I'd seriously help you do it if you bought the vinyl and supplied beer.

I hate plastidip on cars...haha. I think it looks cheap, but my fav. part of the wrap is the wheels. The silver paint on the RPF1 stock is beautiful so it was hard covering up...oh well, not permanent.

 

Hmmm maybe I will have to price a plane ticket and beer.

 

Two thumbs up! Looks great!

 

I can't say more than what everyone else said, but I still have to give you your props!

 

I've got plenty of beds, my friend.

So...day 1 driving this around on normal duty. It's rainy so if anything is going to fail, it will be tonight or tomorrow when it rains even more. Thats a little scary. I have had people point, run stop signs staring, thumbs up everywhere, ricer flybys every 6 seconds and at lunch a small crowds of people would gather and take pictures with it and be on their way. It's crazy the amount of attention it gets. Everyone that passes is staring.

 

 

Came out pretty nice man!!!

 

that's fucking awesome!

 

I don't blame people for breaking neck...it's worthy

 

Nice work!

 

Real pics....

 

Better yet... we split his airfare and fly him to Charlotte. I need some stuff done on my truck and trailer


Dude... that looks sick. Just flat out sick. Now I'm thinking... screw the Exocet... just get a Miata with a unique wrap. Very sweet

 

I might be up for that

Thanks for the compliments. There isn't a giant trick to wrapping, only a few small ones. Once you have that down, I'm pretty confident that most, emphasis on most, people could tackle it.

Hey MarbleGT, I really like the wrap. Great job. What are you going to do about the wheels? I don't feel like the black color fits the scheme of the car.

 

 

Well, they were silver...I dipped them black. I will most likely, if it ever stops raining, cut some enkei logos out in the blue and put them on where the black existing logos are, but I don't know. Some guys do orange, some do blue, some do silver...but most do black. I liked the look on the old Porsche race cars so I went with it. Plus the black mirrors, windshield frame and badges all tie it in, IMO. Most of all, I wanted to take my car and make it something completely different which I think I've accomplished from every angle.

 

My favorite thing is the angry look you gave the headlights.

 

Freaking awesome! Wish I had your vinyl skills. I only installed 1 out of my 4 vinyl graphics right and had to re-order 3 of them lol.

 

I love those eyelids but generally hate eyelids. There are a couple of other companies that make them for the 3rd gen Miata but none compare to those. Like you said, it just makes it look mad as hell.

The vinyl you got was likely not wrapping vinyl. A lot of the prettiest metallic vinyl isn't...yet. You would not have screwed up the wrapping stuff, lots easier to work with and thicker. Also, it doesnt fully adhere until you squeegee it with force. You can pop it up until its perfect.

...and next time you order vinyl, PM me first. I can 99% of the time get it cheaper.

 

I can 100% verify this. Good prices, easy to work with, and he does really good work. So, if you need anything done... reach out to him.

 

Looks so GOOD!

 

I don't know why some are not liking the black wheels. I think it captures more of the race car look with black wheels.

 

I love the wheel set up.

 

so much win here

 

Absolutely love it!
