This is one of those cars that people either love it or hate it. Maybe I'm biased because I own one, but I love it!. Got mine in silver and looking to add 18 inch black chrome enkeis on it with pirelli tires!
@absolutely failz people either really like the car or hate it so who knows. car is currently getting bagged. has the wing and wheels installed now though looks way better!
I was thinking of a 2022 and just wrapping the plastic fenders. How was it to wrap the textured fenders? I'm in Australia so would have to find a local company.
we’d 100% recommend sanding and priming first so they have a surface energy for the wrap to bond too. we got lucky with the wrap we used. APA is super sticky vinyl wrap so it bonded fine to the plastic. any other brand would have been an issue probably next day
@@cgwraps. awesome planning on buying the same year wrx and I have wrapped a few cars before myself and plan on picking up wrapping again so you don’t think Avery would work because it’s not that tacky on that specific plastic piece ? I wanna do a fully Matte black wrap with some purple plastics probably will be getting the car in January but trying to plan ahead though
@@chase9615 avery might have a harder time for sure to stick to it, it’s easy enough to sand smooth yourself tho. the texture isn’t too bad. maybe 10 mins each piece if that
@@cgwraps. I’ll probably sand and prime it do you have a certain primer you’d recommend for that specific plastic also thanks for the fast replies ! You earned a sub
@@chase9615 i’m not too crazy into the painting game, but another thing to use to promote adhesion would be 3m primer 94 it’s a liquid based adhesive that dries in minutes and bonds amazingly to any vinyl wrap. and thanks man truly appreciate the support. any questions or concerns reach out to us on instagram @cgwraps for a quicker response!
you’d need to get them sanded and prepped prior to wrap, got lucky with his as the APA wrap material has an extremely high tac so it stuck nice and is lasting as the same day it was installed
it was a last second decision made by the owner when he came to get the car he decided to see if we could try it and see how it will hold up. super simple though should take like 15-20 mins to do all of them really quick
all wraps vary. most brands can be anywhere from 3-7 year lifespans. a lot factors into it like how the cars taken care of. what zone you live in, if the cars garages or sits in the sun etc etc
absolutely can, but to find a color matching wrap will be the difficult part, for 100% accuracy i’d recommend having them painted. reply would cost much just to prep and paint the flares
100% told him it might not even last a week since it’s plastic. it was his decision to do it until his color matched ones come in. but the car is getting a wide body soon anyways!
actually neither. he’s my closest friend and wanted me to try and wrap it as is, wasn’t any guarantee i told him. as the correct way would be to sand, prime, paint then wrap. but wrapped it as is. and it’s actually never lifted even over a year later. which i still can’t believe
i’d recommend to still do it correct. if this was a normal customer i would have never even touched the plastics. if i did they would have been sent out for sand, prime and paint then i’d offer to wrap them

mine is stock 18” is the US different?
The quality of the work is good. But the car looked better before.

Looks very sharp great job a plus rap
What color would you like? Pepto bismol? YES!!!!
precisely😂
What did you do about the texture on the fenders? Did you sand it down before the wrap or does the golf ball texture come through?
Wow! Awesome job! Great job! The owners choice of color is less than desirable. I have a 4runner in boring grey. Live in Orlando.
How much wrap did you need?
Howd you wrap the cladding? Did you sand before the wrap?
Did you sand the fenders before wrapping?
How much would a car like this cost to be wrapped?
Great work, any the choice of color isn't bad at all, just wondering could you wrap the rear bumper too? Or you intentionally left it out?
would need to be prepped(sanded and primed) since it’s a textured plastic it has no surface energy so wrap won’t stick to it
@@cgwraps. it would be nice with paint match
@@loveseat9895 everything will be done with time, everything that’s plastic will be prepped and wrapped🙌
@@cgwraps. Is that what you did to the fenders? Or did it have the aeroflow fenders on it?
Hot take: the fenders just look... "off" when painted.
The STI pink is good for highlights but not the whole car…?
What is this color called? Looks a lot like Cherry Blossom Red by Subaru
gloss rubystone by apa
So the black plastics over the wheels are able to be wrapped or did you have to sand them first ?

Can you tag the owner?I am interested in wrapping my car but don’t know how the fenders will hold up being that they are plastic now
you’d need to get them sanded and prepped prior to wrap, got lucky with his as the APA wrap material has an extremely high tac so it stuck nice and is lasting as the same day it was installed
Why didnt you show the wrapping of the fender plastic??
it was a last second decision made by the owner when he came to get the car he decided to see if we could try it and see how it will hold up. super simple though should take like 15-20 mins to do all of them really quick
@@cgwraps. 👍, hows it holding up?
@@teamsynikal38 never had any issues surprisingly. but i’d definitely recommend doing it proper and sanding them down and priming
how much it cost?
Question, how many feet of wrap do i need for that car?
we always recommend using 75' for every vehicle. best to have a whole roll then come up short. realistically youll be fine with 60'
The trunk lid 2 pcs or as whole?
you can do either or, if it has a spoiler it will hide your seam for the most part. or could 1 piece it like really any other trunk
I want my rear bumper and side fenders wrapped. How long is the wrap good for?
all wraps vary. most brands can be anywhere from 3-7 year lifespans. a lot factors into it like how the cars taken care of. what zone you live in, if the cars garages or sits in the sun etc etc
Can you color match wrap just the fender flares?
absolutely can, but to find a color matching wrap will be the difficult part, for 100% accuracy i’d recommend having them painted. reply would cost much just to prep and paint the flares
How were you able to wrap it
how did u remove the door handles?
we have a full disassembly video on the channel!
Wrapping over the hex pattern on the fender trim may come back to haunt you haha
100% told him it might not even last a week since it’s plastic. it was his decision to do it until his color matched ones come in. but the car is getting a wide body soon anyways!
diggin it!
thanks guys!
How much does a job like this cost???
Wow!!!!!
You’re not the first to wrap, stop claiming that.
who fully wrapped there’s?
if you can show me someone else with a fully wrapped 22 wrx that was done before this one. show me and i’ll take it out the title.
Pepto bismol!
WHY ??
Nice work, just not a fan of the color.
totally get it! it’s a love or hate color. either gonna love it or hate it. definitely not for everyone. thank you though!
@@cgwraps. it was awesome to see you wrap it, the job came out really well. If you guys had done a matte graphite grey, it would look amazing.
@@LJ-mp7ir absolutely we’ve done a few 15+ sti’s in matte greys always loved them
@@cgwraps. I hope the matte grey wraps that look like sandable body primer fizzle out of popularity soon.
Wing on a WRX…boooo
no STI in 2022🙃
@@cgwraps. exactly
@@cgwraps. but the wings look terrible on this car, and its last gens design.
Wow that is a really ugly colour choice hahaa
did you have to prep the surface of the over fenders for wrapping since they're not smooth?
did you sand down the plastic fenders to wrap it? or did the customer buy the paint match fenders?
actually neither. he’s my closest friend and wanted me to try and wrap it as is, wasn’t any guarantee i told him. as the correct way would be to sand, prime, paint then wrap. but wrapped it as is. and it’s actually never lifted even over a year later. which i still can’t believe
