Default Ideas for custom wrap/decal

I helped a buddys friend out who does custom wrappings. He said he would give me a free wrap for helping him and I need some ideas! I have a 2011 magnetic gray.

I like my color but looking to do some accenting/stripe idk! I cant find any tcs with vinyl like this so....

I get it. But it's ridiculous to think you'd add vinyl to your car just because it's free. It's going to look horrible, especially "accents", just because it's free. The car doesn't need anything. The only way to make the car look better than it already does is to slam it. The body lines work so well, and by adding any b.s. to it will just tear it up something fierce. My suggestion is to have him vinyl something else for you, like a race car or something, or a cardboard box or a guitar, or whatever, but not your new tC2.

I'm just going to leave this here:

the only graphic that i think is acceptable for a non race/drift car scion tc is the Scion option side graphic

These cars look good. Especially the second one. But not because of the vinyl, it's because there's no wheel gap, like I said, car needs to be lowered and that's it. But yeah Justin, the vinyl on these is tasteful, I can dig it.

I think thats the only thing I would look to do honestly. IF that. Right now I have my bumper under the grille and my side mirrors plasti-dipped cuz the paint was chipping there. Id problem just get those wrapped and see if he can do something subtle like those scion things decals on those others.

Im not a "hey look at the flames on my car they make me go faster" kind of guy.

Damn whys everyone hate'n for?
Nothing's wrong with vinyl, as long as it's done right. You definitely shouldn't get it if someone's got left over pieces and they wanna slap on your car to practice, get it cause you want it.

Don't know what you want? Google magic that bish [car vinyl wrap] and get a feel of what you like. I got vinyl cause I wanted to learn how to install it or I'm afraid to paint on a brand new car. For whatever reason, just remember that it's gonna represent you and nothing's permanent. Don't like it, change dat bish!

Yo Kristy sick while how much your were fogs and halos? Look nice! As for vinyl wrap depends on the color of the car. Everton has their own liking so its up to you to know what you want

fogs were under 100 and halos were only 20, but halos were really hard to install...had to bake the headlight to open them..figure out how to mount them...and extend the wires to have the plug come out the end of the headlight
