Question Vinyl Graphics?

I want to get some vinyl graphics for my car. Probably white tribal. But I really don't know much about it. Pricing? Life? Worth it?

I don't believe its that expensive
Possibly take some tribal cutouts and take it to your local sticker shop and see what they can do?

Re: Vinyl Graphics?

it can get expensive depending on the quality of the vinyl used, and how complex the design, at my shop we do full wraps and its expensive

Re: Vinyl Graphics?

also keep in mind that applying vinyl graphics will cut the life ofthe paint in almost half due to heat build up and entrapment under vinyl if Ya live in a sunny area!!

Re: Vinyl Graphics?

was actually told that by a local vinyl shop. Due to size of hood and excessive heat from engine and sun they told me the paint life underneath would effectively be cut in half! Were they mistaken or just not wantin my business???

Thanks!!

Re: Vinyl Graphics?

white might stand out a bit too much. Maybe a darker color?

Re: Vinyl Graphics?

if your going single color...it should only be around $60-80 for the graphic itself. not sure how much it would cost to have it applied though. i agree that white might stand out to much. how bout a dark gray or even graphite. ive been looking at body graphics myself, but i feel that flames and tribal stuff is played out (just my two pennies).

Thx for your opinion. I was thinking about the white too. It would stand out a lot. Then I changed my mind too black graphics with an orange outline because my rims are black and I have orange painted calipers.

Re: Vinyl Graphics?
