Default Vinyl Wrap in New Jersey

Anybody know a good vinyl wrap shop in central Jersey area? Looking to have my roof and halo wrapped. Thanks in advance.

I recommend watching a few YouTube videos and trying it yourself. These wrappers love charging a lot. I was quoted a rediculous amount to wrap my front splitter and side skirts. Watched a few YouTube videos then bought the materials and did it myself. That roof and halo are way easier than the front splitter btw. Here’s a pic of my splitter I wrapped myself for the first time

The thought has crossed my mind of doing it myself. Still might depending on how much its costs to have it done. Splitter looks good.

Vivid or Avery wraps are really easy to work with to do that top and Halo. It's basically flat surface. Once u glass it on you'll see what I mean. With a heat gun and a steady hand to cut off the edges your good. Believe me the 2 areas u want done are easy. Don't let a wrapper rip u off. Some of these guys like to charge alot

I have been watching some YouTube videos on it seems pretty straightforward.

Like Rob said, the material is cheap. Just order some and try it yourself. I've done my roof and halo many times. Gloss black, gloss carbon fiber, exposed carbon. I ordered a 5'x7' because the halo is kind of long. Probably enough to do nine cars' halos

Just use heat and patience! Piece of cake.

I like 3M 1080 and some vivvid colors

First Klass Vinyl. Manalapan, NJ. 5 Minutes from Freehold Racetrack Mall. 3m certified. They did a great job on a 3m 1080 rally stripe on my c6. Price was very fair. 609 529 9117. I have no affiliation with them, they just did a good job.

Thanks, I will keep them in mind. I think I'm going to try and tackle this one myself.

Default What Wrap?

I wanna wrap the roof and halo. Wondering what is going to look the best? Gloss black? Semi gloss black? Flat black? Or carbon fiber? Need help, car is very glossy so I think flat black won't look right. Thoughts?

Nothing looks worse than fake carbon fiber wrap. Its embarrassing. If you can't afford it don't wrap it in carbon.
other than that have at it.

Most of the flat color stuff looks like pure crap.

I think you should match your gloss splitter & side skirts or semi gloss but I don’t think carbon fiber or flat black will compliment it well. Just my opinion. Those rims are sick dude 👍🏻

I agree with you on the carbon wraps looking cheap. Thanks for your input.

I like gloss black halo for gloss painted cars. Flat black for a flat painted/wrapped car.

Carbon is fine too. First time I've heard anyone hating on CF wrap. But hydrodipping is okay? Carbon Fiber Snobs? Can't make this stuff up.
Sorry/not sorry, not paying $2K for a CF roof then $1K for a halo I can wrap for $69.50 with tons to spare. You indulge the CorvetteTax all you like, I prefer not to. It's not about affording it. haha. Oh, and not one person could tell it was a wrap. NOT. ONE.
