Hey guys,

Has anyone done this before? What sort of cost is it? Also, is it something that can be done well as a DIY job?

Don't worry, it's not for the s. The civic coupe is black ATM, but thinking white would look more the part;

I believe @Rob quilter did this on his crx and the results were excellent.

Yeah I did our Del Sol, I got lucky on eBay and won some carbon wrap for £160 I think it was. For a gloss white your properly paying £300+ for the vinyl. It's a 2 man job and takes a couple of days, you need the patience of a saint.

I will be getting my lude wrapped in a few months professionally and I've been quoted £900 by monster wraps. But they will do inside all the shuts etc.. .

The 5th gens look nice and boxy, not too many curves.

I did a proton in gloss grey once. Its deffo a 2 man job and i still cant do wing mirrors.
