Help Needed: Car Vinyl

I’ve been toying with the idea of giving my ride a fresh new look with some vinyl graphics. I’ve been scrolling through Instagram and Pinterest, and I am totally blown away by the amazing transformations people have achieved. From subtle accents to full-blown wraps, the possibilities seem endless!
Now, here comes the tricky part. I’ve been doing some research on local shops or online stores where I can get quality car vinyl. Living in a smaller town, the options are somewhat limited, and I’m not sure I want to trust just anyone with my baby. I want a place that not only has a variety of vinyl options but also offers top-notch quality.
Has anyone here recently dabbled in car vinyl projects? I’d love to hear about your experiences and recommendations. Did you go for a local shop, or did you find an online store that delivered the goods (literally and figuratively)?
Has anyone here ever used their products? I’m intrigued by the variety they offer, but I’m always a bit skeptical until I hear some real-world feedback.

Also, while we’re on the topic, what vinyl designs have you tried or seen that made you do a double-take? I’m trying to get some inspiration, and I’d love to see what you all have come up with.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and recommendations. Let’s turn this thread into a virtual garage where we can share our passion and help each other out!

Graphics might be tricky and you might need professional assistance.
If it’s just wrapping your bumpers, mirrors etc. then you might be able to do it yourself.

I suggest that you consider ordering online - Some of the most popular brands for car wrapping are 3M, Avery Dennison, Hexis, KPMF, Orafol, and Metro Wrap. Good luck :+1:t3:

So far I have come across this VinylCutter shop . But I’m unsure whether and how good it is

My son covered his car bumper and mirrors with vinyl wrap. It looked great. He did it himself with the help of his friends.

I don’t know anything about graphics though. I suspect that you might need professional installation.
