The wrap will probably hold up better than paint on fiberglass.

Does it look as good in real life as it does in pics?

I haven't seen it yet Tobra...

It should be done in 2-3 days, so I've gotta wait!

Thanks P4L. My son in law suggested it and I thought he was nuts, but after seeing some of the recommendations, it looks like a great idea.

Thanks M.D.! I wasn't crazy about the black Victor Equipment Innsbruck wheels when I first got it but now, with the colour combo with the black / Red Metallic, I'm liking them! Which is great as I was contemplating getting a new set of HRE's ....saved me some $$$! Actually, I'm also thinking of getting just the outer rim of the wheels plasti-dipped in red, for that stealth look!

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.

I have to agree! I wasn't even aware of this "technology" until very recently. Upon discussing the $$$ for a new paint job (my TT has a pretty fair amount of road rash) one of my PCA buddies told me to "just get it wrapped"! I said WHAT IS THAT?

AND at about 1/5th the cost of a new paint job, I didn't hesitate! I had her booked in in three days!

Paul at Maxpo is who's doing mine. He also does all the custom work for Lamborghini Calgary. In fact they're expecting to work on a Hurican shortly. I'll check it out when I pick mine up later this week!

She's all wrapped!

I just picked her up last night! We decided to leave the mirrors, rear vents, upper rear wing, roof, and rear bumperettes black for that added contrast effect.












I'm in love all over again!

I'll post some more outside daylight shots later!

Cheers!

Perfect! ...but I'm biased to red

Love that you left the black accents. I may do my wing and vents in a black wrap. That would be cheap, but breaks up the red nicely.

Damn that looks nice.

Craig, you could go CF if you want to look really exotic.
