If you want to try it.....go for it then. I am unfamiliar with the glue/adhesive residue situation though. Than might be a pain in the *** prepping it for paint afterwords. Uh.. i guess with goo gone or reducer or something, it may not be a big deal. Will they take it off when it looks like ****? Is it full of their company logo and name?

i says do it, i personally like it on a drift car. but if your car looks pretty close to stock then thats just not gonna look right. atleast get the car slammed and a decent looking kit.

are they vinyling the whole car? or jus the sides?

since its free i would say why not. i thought about it but kinda seems like a waste of money for how long it may last and i might get tired of the sparkles. just paint your car with boat paint

It's your car bro, don't care what anyone else thinks. There are people here who will love it and people who will hate it, in the end though its your car dude, just do what you want.

whats ur car look like now? r they gonna do graphics or just do the whole body in it?

if ur car is in need of bodywork, go for it... its free, and if u dont like it u can rip it off and they wasted thier time.

some of the guys here who said no arent too fond of body modifications to the perfect madona fc body lol

I imagine if they are doing it for free and for advertisement they are going to make the colors really bright and flashy so that it is noticed more. I dunno how I would feel about that, but as they said its your car your the one who has to drive it and look at it everyday and if you like it I suppose that's all that matters.
