<think outside the box>
TOAST3R 04-02-2005, 03:22 AM i have a set of 18" motegi ff7 glossy black with chrome lip for sale if you want. im in wisconsin. not tires tho, just the rims
the wrap looks nice, what that cost?
TOAST3R 04-02-2005, 03:23 AM it looks like you have a black grill in the first picture
Jahanmn 04-02-2005, 03:28 AM no it is the OEM black cherry - looks darker in the picture....
LaVa~NyC 04-02-2005, 03:30 AM how much does the wrap go for..that looks hott...and where would u even look to see who carries it?
Jahanmn 04-02-2005, 03:36 AM Hard to say - depends on the resources in your area - I had one of my graphic designers put the theme together. It is supposed to look like yellow paper over cardboard that has been ripped away - then when the cardboard gets pulled back you see the industrial blue diamond plate....so it cost something to do the design....
and then to get printed and installed probably $2400 or so. The installer is the key! It is not easy work and you need someone that knows what they are doing.
grizzly_choppers 04-02-2005, 03:36 AM First, the wrap looks awesome!! Good job on that.
Second, what kind of grille do you want? Just a stock one painted black or something special? I have a few sources and can turn you on to them if you let me know what you're looking for.
I have some sources for rims too, but check out those Motegis first, sounds like a good deal.

ksl_redsoxfan 04-02-2005, 04:42 AM some people will wrap for free just to show advertize
Sublimize23 04-02-2005, 05:09 AM just out of curiosity, is that your own business? I can't see getting paid enough by a company to drive that.
Inuyashalover 04-02-2005, 07:38 AM Great wrap!
LOL!! "Developing Web solutions...outside the box!" you got that right!
really nice...yea i agree some rims would really complement it all
other then black...maybe yellow with a nice polished lip? most of the box is wrapped yellow...keep the flow going lol :) just some ideas
again love your wrapped box ;)
Jahanmn 04-02-2005, 10:57 AM thanks for the comments - yes that is my company - and I would drive it even if it wasn't :)
Keep thinking outside the box
totallyboardz 04-02-2005, 11:46 AM Wow... The wrap looks great.
I'm considering that for my business also (the main point for buying my xb, besides better gas mileage). My friend owns a sign shop so all I have to pay for is the materials. Haven't quite decided on the design yet though. Might just wrap the back and give the sides more of a tuner car look.
Yours came out nice though...
Jahanmn 04-02-2005, 02:11 PM Thanks.
Make sure whoever you have do it uses the good 3M wrap material. If they use the cheap stuff when it is time to come off I guess it will be a real pain. Plus this stuff is guaranteed not to peel or fade for three years!!
DJ_X_Trodinaire 04-02-2005, 02:27 PM it looks good i like the design
dgHotLava 04-02-2005, 03:01 PM moved...
fastsold 04-04-2005, 06:59 AM sweet wrap dude
xBino 04-04-2005, 08:15 AM OUTSIDE OF THE BOX...
Gotta love it!
katchkillah 04-04-2005, 09:53 AM from the pics looks like they did a real good job on the wrap. seen some here in hawaii and it's like oh my gosh what were they thinking. and some were poorly done. anyway nice work on the wrap. i'm still trying to get my company to sponsor my car cause my mods are sure eating up my pockets......
T_Dot 04-04-2005, 10:02 AM looks awesome, how long did that take, and i was wondering why you didnt do the tail lights as well?
Jahanmn 04-04-2005, 11:55 AM T Dot
Thanks - I think it turned out well. I dropped it off at 9am and the finished around midnight. Had two guys working on it pretty much the whole time.
The material is not transparent so you can't cover the taillights. I suppose you could use the perforated material that is used on the windows - but it might not let enough light through.
Thx
Jahan
Lonely_Raven 04-04-2005, 12:02 PM Please show photos of the dash!!!!
That is my spring project, is to add my laptop to the dash!!
NJthunder5spd 04-04-2005, 12:10 PM yeah lets see that dash!!!
did u use the lilliput 8" touch? thats what i plan on using when i get my carputer back.
Jahanmn 04-04-2005, 12:13 PM LR
I'll put together some photos soon for the dash and computer install. It looks awsome - I found a touchscreen that fits perfectly with very minor mods to the dash. I then put the head unit in the spare flip down compartment under where the old radio was.
I'm headed to mexico for a week so I won't get time today - but I promise when i get back. I want to show all the applications running...gps...autodiagnostics (gauges a plently)....DVD.....MPS player(all 12 gigs).
Thx
Jahanmn 04-04-2005, 12:23 PM For the screen I used a Xenarc 8 inch TS
http://www.xenarc.com/product/800tsv.html
It truely looks like it was made for the car. The brightness and contrast is amazing
And the computer system was put together by these guys
http://www.trumanmobile.com
They don't even have the system I used on the site - but he showed me a picture he has of the install and everything is under the front seat - pretty amazing for a P4 system...
Thx
Jahanmn 04-04-2005, 01:01 PM Here are a couple of photo's i had from the install shop - not the best but will give you an idea.

I'll post better ones when I get back next week.
Thx
Lonely_Raven 04-04-2005, 01:12 PM NO, thank you for sharing!
I'm probably going to go a full laptop setup with 14" screen
on a pivot, with a slot in the dash that I can slide it into
when I'm not in the box.
What you did is my runner-up plan, but looks KILLER none
the less!
