Don Nguyen | **Vinyl Roof Wrapping Services + Stickers/Graphics and more!**

For locals that are looking to get vinyl installed on their cars, I can supply both the materials and do the complete installation at my location. The best way to schedule an appointment with me or reach me is via e-mail at donathon@gmail.com

Here's a link to my Facebook Page - Gallery

I am located in Anaheim Hills / Orange County, California. (Note: I do occasionally make trips to Norcal / Bay Area for vinyl installations/work as well, contact me for more info)

For non-locals (or for someone who just wants or needs some materials) and would like to DIY it, I can supply and sell you just the materials to do the installation as well.

Prices varies for both installation and materials depending on the exact car, vinyl finish, and specific part(s) that you want wrapped, so PM or e-mail me (donathon@gmail.com) directly for price quotes.

- Gloss and matte black roof vinyl (other finishes/colors are available upon request)
- Gloss and matte Carbon fiber vinyl
- Black out chrome/brushed aluminum window trim vinyl
- Interior/exterior trim
- Head/tail light tinting
- Full car wraps
- Graphic/vinyl installations
- And More...

I've done installations on hundreds of cars and have supplied materials to thousands of cars worldwide at this point. Here are just one or two quick pictures of the cars and the work that I have personally done for them, just to give you guys an idea of how it looks like and the quality of my work:

Carbon fiber roof install:

For a more concise way of viewing specific examples of my work, I have split the more popular types of installations into specific galleries, which you can view in the links below. Even if you may not see something pictured in one of the links below, feel free to contact me directly, as it is very likely that it is still something that I can do or have done in the past.

thanks.

Gloss black (Don't mind the blue tape, he just recently had those pieces painted and he had to take a road trip to get to where I was to get vinyl work done):

How about a full s2k wrapped in the 3M CF material?

Tested the curves etc a bit with some matte black first. Just did the one driver side fender and hood:















Once I got a feel for it, I went ahead and did the full CF treatment on the car. Probably one of the first cars on the east coast to have this fully done (this car was done a long time ago, but the owner's been constantly building it, so it hasn't even seen the roads yet after being fully wrapped):





















So what do you guys think? Who will you be bringing your cars to get wrapped now

Some pictures on a 997 GT3 that I wrapped the 3M Di-Noc CF with, on the roof and spoiler element. Let me tell you, it looked hot! Haha. The car was less than 24 hours old, off of the dealership lot.

So many white cars, but I don't blame them, the black roofs do look best on white colored cars:

Some before and after pictures. This is the first time I've taken pictures before applying the vinyl roof, so it'll give you guys somewhat of an idea of how it looks like.

Not a Mercedes or even a Euro car, but I am curious to if any of you guys would ever consider doing a matte finish on your car. Just interested in hearing/seeing some opinions on this from benz owners, since it seems more of a Subaru thing:

Matte black -

Installed gloss black vinyl on the window trim of this E46 M3 and tinted his tail lights.

I probably should have done a better job of cleaning the window trim before taking the pictures. There's palm/finger prints from me installing all over it, haha.

Do you guys have any specific or general questions about anything? Or if you guys want me to take pictures of the cars that I do at certain angles or specific places/parts, let me know.

More of the white 350z with the vinyl wrapped gloss black roof:

Got some new pictures that I haven't posted up, that I'll do later today or tomorrow.

Let me know if you guys want any specific pictures/angles for me to take, before/after/etc of the vinyl on the cars, and I'll see what I can do for you.

Also, feel free to post any thoughts or feedback you might have. Always looking for new ideas to do and try out

Had someone request me post some pictures of blacked out window trim and misc chrome parts.

I did the window trim on this C63, along with his chrome trunk lid handle and the top half of his side mirror blinkers.

Been having quite a few people ask me about interior wrappings, so here's some pictures so you guys can all see, versus me PMing people the same pictures over and over again.

Here's pictures of an E92 335's interior that I wrapped in the 3M carbon fiber di-noc vinyl material:

I just sold my '05 BMW 525 and have been a member on several BMW boards (e60.net, bimmerpost, bimmerfest, etc...) and Don Nguyen is very highly regarded on all of these forums. He's done vinyl wraps on several cars and gets top notch ratings across the board.

I think a black/carbon roof only looks good on a white vehicle personally, so I have no need....but if you're interested in a vinyl wrap contact Don and im sure he'll take care of you.

BTW, I have no affiliation with Don and in fact I've never even personally met the guy, but I have heard so many positive comments about his work and had no idea he was on this forum until I recently purchased my CLS63.

Thank you. I actually really appreciate the feedback, cause it lets me know that I am at least doing something right.

I wish I could share these types of feedback/comments with everyone and every forum that I am on (maybe I can, once I get a site up), cause this type of stuff is what really speaks more than pictures.

I am a car enthusiast from the core, so I try to show it through my work. I understand what a fellow car enthusiasts wants/expect when they let someone else work on their car. Again, no one is perfect, there are a time or two where the stars did not line up right or I woke up on the wrong side of the bed that day. However, I definitely give it my all in each and every car that I do work on.
