    I wonder how much it'll cost. A paint job like that would cost like $5,000. But vinyl is essentially just a big sticker, isn't it? lol

    ive asked around before, i wanted to get a sunset yellow paintjob and they told me it would cost me like 10k...that would cover ins & outs... considering they specialize in lambos & ferraris...

    Yes, it is like a big sticker. a body wrap is way less expensive than actually painting it

    IMO, the body vinyl looks horrible compared to painting it. Yes you spend more money, but the quality is no comparison. Personally I think you can do pink and something else together way better looking then that car, or more tastefully. Plus is your Lancer white to start with? Because thats what they did, took a white GTS and put pink vinyl on it. Having to do the whole car in vinyl.....eh. But that is just my opinion and thats coming from seeing both and watching my father do custom paint out of his shop. Just a matter of how you want it to turn out.

    I'd love to have it actually painted, but I know there's no way in heck I'll ever have the money for that unless I save up for a few years LOL.

    Plus I figured I'm more than likely not gonna keep the car forever, so if I wanna sell it, not many people are gonna want a pink car, so if it's just vinyl I can take it off and the car will be back to its original blue.

    I got a quote this morning, the guy said a job like that would be $1,700 plus taxes.

    If anyone on here is good at designing and photoshop and can make me a picture of a similar design but on a EB Lancer.... lemme know! My brother said silver graphics would look good on the blue but... I dunno, I just can't see it.
