    A multitude of questions

    So I am wondering if any one here can help me out with some issues I could potentially face and would like to get resovled before they show up...

    First off tubro questions:

    I am switching turbos from a Borg 300sx to the new 8374 EFR. The issue I believe I am going to have is hood clearance issues. Is there at all a size difference between these 2 turbos height wise.. if so how much?

    If there is a difference, I am going to need my hood customed and am wondering who in Calgary can custom my TT hood to fit this thing.

    Second, cosmetics:

    Has anyone had their car wrapped instead of painted. I got quoted $1800 for a full wrap (minus CF trunk and hood). Now I have seen cars wrapped before that look absolutley insane and these guys boast a 7 year warranty. At that price I find this much more reasonable than a paint job with the same look (from what I've seen). Maybe some of you here have worked on/with a wrapped car and can let me know why I shouldn't get it?

    Ive noticed a LARGE number of high end cars out here (R35s, Vipers, R8s, Merc's) that are wrapped in a satin black. Most of those cars I would assume are on lease so they wrap them to avoid a full respray, then they give them back as they got them.

    A friend of mine did this with his 370Z (his name is Alex Park, lives in Vancouver, goes to UBC I believe...Korean kid that moved out there from Toronto). It was a pearl white car that he wrapped in a satin black, and it looked nice. Don't know about how well it lasted/how durable it was.

    Once I know wtf I wanna do I will... I'm also going to run on the assumption that if you wrap a high end car such as Oakville claims to have seen many times, that it probably looks pretty damn good.

    As for durability, car is in heated storage for the winter and has a garage during the summer so its about as babied as you can get.
