Need a condom for my M3

Lessthanzero · 07-19-2014, 09:03 PM

I park on the street and I have both trees and birds that sh!t on my spot. (OK, only one of those does it literally, but the other is a mulberry...) So I was thinking I would put a cover on it rather than wash the car every other day. Any of you have suggestions for a good cover?

Get paint protection film I have Xpel on my car.

Just wrapped my whole M4 in Satin Xpel. Highly recommended

Get a good installer.

Where u located? And who did u use?

Lessthanzero · 07-19-2014, 11:19 PM

I should probably say that i was looking for a car cover to take on and off when I park. the Xpel doesn't seem to fit that category.

Been super busy but working on media. Here are a couple quick cell pics.... I also have some pics on my instagram feed #weshowell.

More media soon. Working on them.

I LOVE the wrap + it protects the paint and it's easy to clean.

Where in FL are you? I have a great installer that just did mine. Looks great. The guy came highly recommended - does a lot of "high end" cars - Bentleys, Ferraris, Porsches, etc.

One more shot that shows the wrap a bit. Color is a bit yellow as the sun was almost down (very much golden hour)

Thanks to IND for giving me dibbs on the spoiler.

I want to give my M3 the matte black look. Any thoughts on vinyl wrap vs plastie dip?

Wes Howell · 07-22-2014, 04:02 PM

Plasti-dip is cheap and if not done right can ruin the finish. I'm not a fan - but not a hater. I just wouldn't do a full (expensive) car.

Vinyl wrap is cheaper and easier to work with / install than Clear bra. I did the satin clear. Expensive but great at protecting paint and a good install looks very clean.

What is a fair price for this type of job? Did you literally wrapped the entire car including rear?
