Hi guys, as the front bar on the GTO needed painting due to some chips, I thought I'd try some vinyl wrap as an alternative. I reckon it came up pretty good. Different, but I like it..
I didn't do it btw..It's noticeable, but not too bold..

Thanks mate..$500 odd, not exactly cheap, but more than half what the quotes were to paint it up..

I never would've thought that would look good if I didn't see it but it actually turned out REALLY well.

Had that same fear that it wouldn't look any good, but I'm happy with how it looks. I only needed the front done to cover some minor chips but I thought it needed the rear bar done too to continue the theme..

Done well there I reckon. It certainly does not scream out like I though it would have. Good call on the rear bar as well. Ties it all in.

That really looks the goods :goodjob: did you stick around and watch them do it? (how hard was it to do or how quick did they take?)

I wasn't there the entire time, but I saw some of it being done, I wouldn't have the patience to even attempt it. Looked quite tricky to do and get it right. Front and back was almost 5 hrs work...

No too sure, that's the colour I wanted so I didn't check on other colours

It's a very unique touch, definitely worth those kind of $.
