Vinyl Wrap... Hood/front Bumper - Toyota Yaris Forums

mr.white_hb · 11-05-2009, 03:34 AM

so I'm thinking of wrapping my hood and front bumper with vinyl
but thought of instead of regular white or clear vinyl ....

maybe go with a Satin Black vinyl for my hood since my car is white and also add vinyl eye brows.

what do you guys think would it look good and make a unique bold statement ?
perhaps make the car look meaner ?

idea's and comments welcome Thanks

example GT-R fully wraped in Vinyl

i have seen good quality vinyl wraps and its looked very good. but i think the quality of the material is what youll need to hunt for.
and would the hood be a full wrap or cut to the "curves"

wrapping the front bumper is a b*tch

3m clear protector sheets. made for the car, custom order, pay beforehand, takes about 3 weeks to make and another to deliver.

about 300 bux.

That's if you want clear-

20 feet of matte black 48" wide vinyl, around 120 bucks, and a couple of lazy Sat. afternoons= priceless

That looks pretty good man professional even.

I'm considering to wrap my hood myself to protect it during the winter +give the car a different look. I'm thinking of flat black or stain black hood

Can anyone Photoshop a pic of a White Echo hatch with a flat black hood ?

enviri · 11-09-2009, 03:26 PM

I think the hood is 24 x 39 inches, I bought 20 feet of the stuff so if you want some, let me know.

Garm, as strong as I feel about you, I'm not gluing up my hood for nothing

i wrapped my hood in gloss black yesterday with the help of my dad, great father son bonding time. We applied it wet, honestly, as a first timer at doing it, it came out ok-ish, not horrible but far from perfect. Will probably redo it, there are some creases and trapped dust. O and we had to stretch the vinyl to get the point parts of the hood because the way the hood curves. Seriously doing curvy parts sucks, i think the roof would be much easier tho.

I would think so, but the prep time (Removing the antenna) makes it a tough go
