Thats a wrap

While Chad was installing the Sparco, Jason, Robbie and I tackled the passenger side vinyl. The weather cooperated and we were able to knock it out in less than an hour. Only thing left to vinyl rape is the rear hatch.

Petey supervised as usual.

In case you missed the beginning of this pain-in-the-ass procedure:

AE86 Vinyl Wrap: Part 4

Got around to wrapping the rear quarter of the car yesterday. It went surprisingly well since I had the help of a neighbor. 4 hands are better than 2. However, that’s all the vinyl I had left. So Im placing another order which will probably come in sometime mid next week.

Oh yea….. I went “Tony Stewart” on a front lip I bought from Home Depot. I have all intentions of getting aero parts in the future, but Ive seen this lip on other 86′s and kinda liked it. My car on the other hand…. not so much. The cheap plastic just doesn’t bend or flow right with the existing bumper so I’ll probably take it off soon. Thankfully I only used 3M tape just in case I didn’t like it. Hell… I might leave it on there just to piss people. Who knows…. I’ll sleep on it. Either way, its fun to experiment.

My desire to wrap the Corolla has been rekindled. Thanks to the boys at CultureGarage. Take a look at the RS4 below.

Believe it or not, that beast is wrapped in vinyl and although mine will never look that good, it has given me SOME hope. Soooooooo…….. I finished wrapping the driver door this weekend. It was surprisingly easy. I thought for sure the door handle was going to screw me up, but I was able to get around it pretty nicely.

The next phase in the AE86 vinyl wrap came in the region of the driver side passenger. I was also able to tackle half of the roof. More info and pics after the jump….

As I mentioned the other day, the Corolla was going under the knife this past weekend. Well, the “big secret” is that we have decided to vinyl wrap the car. Take a look…..
