Proud new owner of my first legitimate DSLR... Got some more work related equipment on the way, but if anyone wants to shoot photo/video of their cars or whatever else, LMK!

I'm looking to get my car wrapped in the near future...any suggestions on where to go? I just know I don't have the patience to do it myself.

I don't even think it's a matter of patience. It's something anyone can probably do, but can they do it flawless? I doubt I could.

Have you thought about talking to Jeff @ SS again?

I'd Recommend Longwood Signworks on Rocky Mount. JP has been wrapping vehicles longer than anybody in this area.
If you're going for a solid color wrap,I'd consult whoever you decide on about where seams are going to be. I was going to wrap my FD, but after a lot of research I found that no material is capable of the stretching and matching contours a modern car would require, so you will have seams on the bumpers and possibly other unusually shaped areas of the car. With a graphic wrap it's easy to overlook this, but a solid color will show these, regardless of how well it's done.

I haven't talked to him recently but I plan on doing so soon. I'm hoping to find someone with his skills that can do a better price.

Thanks for the tip. Yes, I am wanting to do a solid color. I know Jeff at Sun Solutions is more than capable, but of course the price is high. He did an amazing job on his car, no seams and it could pass for paint. I will contact JP!

The lot beside Premier rental is secured again this year for cruise night. Stop in and hang out for a while. We'll be there from lunch time on...
