Check out this fully wrapped Mazda CX-3 posted on Instagram by vip_brickell_autozone! The design seems to be Asian inspired with what looks like dragon scales extending from the windshield onto the roof. Paint splatters throughout the body is also well done and extremely detailed down to the various shades of each splatter.
Here’s a closer look at the CX-3’s bumper and hood wrap:
While wrapping your CX-3 is a great personalization option the extra layer also doubles as paint protection during its lifespan. If someone or something scratches your car the affected panel can easily be re-wrapped (or leave it as is) to match the rest of the body while the paintwork underneath remains showroom fresh. At a glance you wouldn’t even know a car was wrapped if done well.
On the downside, a full wrap will be expensive but still cheaper than a new coat of paint, however the finished product’s quality is dependent on the installer.
With the use of computer programs the customization options are endless! Would you consider wrapping the CX-3? If so, what design and color would you choose?
I'd like to wrap it same colour, in white, but in a carbon fibre texture, I think that would look nice. Not readily noticeable unless you get up close to it. That, or wrap the roof in matte black, minus spoiler, and wing mirrors, to make it match the rest of the plastic trim and rims (I may photoshop this idea to see what it would look like xD). But wrapping full body anything other than white I wouldnt do, I like the colour.
So, with some free time, I did play with photoshop, and with the photoshop skills of a 3rd grader, I gave the CX3 some more black accents and carbon, and voila.
It totally depends on what you do with the wrap. Some are terrible, others are done in very good taste. Also it can make more sense to do something like this if its a company car, or some type of project car.
Oh you did the spoiler and upper sides too. It looks good, but like the previous picture, I'd rather do the roof excluding the spoiler and upper sides. I find that it kind of just ends weird on the pillars.
If you dont mind me asking, how much did that cost?
I originally had the same wrap as the picture above. But i didn't really like it so much it felt incomplete. The fin was white it felt out of place it was like a cold hard nipple sticking out lol.
I get more people staring at my car with the wrap all over lol.
I love the sleek look of the CX-3 how it is...putting a design like that really ruins it for me. Horrible. Looks like some kind of 60's rock band tour bus.
We did EXACTLY that wrap!
We also got the roof rails and a Rhino basket.
Looking good. Hoping for stripes soon, but want to see how other people handle them.
pics when the light is better, I guess...
Is there any reason not to wrap? Does it eventually peel off like a cellphone screen cover or something? I can't see an obvious downside, but would love to know if there is one.
If you have your car wrapped, how do you clean it / wax it?
I am totally new to this concept, but I definitely want to wrap my car when I get it because PHILADELPHIA.
The same way you do for a car without a wrap. Just avoid washing it with high pressure water and any abrasive polishing. You can also clay, sealant or wax clear bra without issues just stay away from the edges so wax doesn't build up in the creases.
