wow newbie account indeed.... think a little bit about things before you post a response

you don't think a guy who owns an R8 can afford 10 g's for a paintjob ?

The reason he probably went vinyl, hell.. the reason almost ALL exotic car owners go with vinyl wrap is to protect the value of the car since for some stupid reason if a car is fully repainted it's "supposed" to lose a bit of market value when it gets resold..

second... maybe a bit easier for you to understand, the vinyl wrap protects the car's stock paint from most nicks and chips which will definitely come in handy when

A: either the lease is up
or
B: selling the car


oh and I almost forgot, another important reason would be that the car might be a lease, so it's done for return purposes.

in any case..... it's highly likely YOU just got owned, as opposed to the dude rolling around in a batmobile R8 around town..

LOL, now you got OWNED.

as for the guys wondering how vinyl wrapping is done....

as you can see in the pics, you need wrap and you need a blowdryer... or if you're good at not melting shit, then heatgun will work

that's fucking dope

Real rich people don't care about resell value, they don't sell their own cars ! they get their secretary to sell it. "Real Rich" do what they want, care less about outcomes. That's real rich !

soooo secks!!

owner's my friend, driven it b4, pure sex...

Looks dope.

does that mean there are 3 R8 owners in UBC?

1. this one
2. Michael Hoe's daughter
3. some random chinese guy, saw it @ the pay parking next to Irving

this guy parks at ubc rosegarden almost every day. it's the most flat parking lot, so he can enter it without any scrapes. see his car there all the time. and yes, it's a taiwanese guy, roughly year 2 to 3.

i dont know if this is possible, but matte/flat black got played out. not interesting anymore

looks like a mini-reventon..droolz

i like the paint job not the car

wouldn't this car be R8 #2 or #3 as u mentioned but just went thru that paintjob and mods?? :thumbsup:

If I had one of those, I'd be super paranoid about door dings!

#2 sold his daughter's R8 already

how much would doing vinyl cost?

You're an idiot. You are talking about rich people that have not worked for their money (ie. inheritance). A wealthy person that has worked for their money would definitely be concerned about "outcomes."

On topic: Matte black looks so damn good on that R8. Looking forward to seeing it up close at the auto show.

Sold it because he probably bought her a LP640 i bet.

^ or maybe there bankrupt?

no, i heard they said the Porsche turbo drives better !

yeah, you might be an even bigger idiot. Wealthy person buying an R8 and having it wrapped in vinyl ? Please... So, i really don't know if mommy and daddy are considered wealthy or rich?

pure sex

Woah the black one is nice, carbon fiber wrap reminds me of the stuff they use on buses.

sick!
