Wrap FAIL NIGHTMARE **updated**
So this past weekend I decided to take up an offer to wrap my car cheap as an introductory period for this new shop down in Miami. They we're offering full car wraps for a little less than $900. The results we're horrifying. I'm just glad I got to get a partial refund...I'm taking the loss and moving on.
Lesson learned...you get what you pay for... Just thought I'd share this with you guys so if you guys have any future plans of wrapping your bmw's always pay the premium and go to trusted professionals. On to the pictures. From a distance it looks good.... ..but up close Going to take the loss and get it re-done the right way by a legitimate shop/professional. Cars getting dropped off on the 15th so I'll keep anyone who's interested updated 1/20/2014 update Cars been with a local vinyl installer/wrapper this week and the results so far are far more superior than the effort that was put in with the first time the car was wrapped. Here's some updates

I hope they didn't damage the paint, for 900 I wouldn't take a chance with shop I don't know. I did wrap my car for the first time by my self and it turned out perfect.

Partial refund??? You paid for a service and they didn't follow through. I wouldn't accept anything other than a 100% refund.

That's just terrible. My first time vinyl wrapping my interior trim didn't look half as bad as that.
Is that satin pearl? It's going to look amazing once you get it done by professionals, good luck!

I'm going to have the person installing my vinyl take a look at the entire car with me when we remove the vinyl in 2 weeks to get it redone.

I would make sure the next shop provided some sort of written guarantee before turning my money over. |

Damn, that's crazy...but thanks for sharing! On the bright side, it looks legit from a distance. I'm sure ppl will respect it. Getting mine wrapped soon, so now I know what to look for. Good luck on the next try.
