Can you wrap the wheels?? Seriously, can you?

For the wheels... water screen printing! Pretty cool. I would not put a sticker on your wheels. It wont last.

I've seen it done...didn't really turn out spectacularly, but like just about anything else it is likely all in who is doing the application.

What about the seat cushions, e-brake handle, and trunk carpeting.

since it's already off, it'll be easy to do. I'm thinking a nice carbon weave. Then we ALL start referring to them as a "carbon undertray" or rear difuser. Then, and only then...will it be cool to have your engine tray, er sorry "carbon rear difuser" installed on the car.

A guy named Amar (wootporsche) on the 911 and 997 boards, has wrapped both of those completely, and is pretty happy. The 997 he did from new. The '86 911 he bought is a primo car with original paint, and a few chips in front. It is now frozen in time in that state, barring any catastrophes.

1. it does not take 3 hours to remove wrap off a door. i have seen enough of film to call him BS.

2. keeping the film on for 10 years when then yellow?? you got to be kidding me. NO film last 10 years unless you dont drive it. they ALL yellow and way before 10 years.

i am not discouraging you. i film most of my cars. but just telling the truth from a consumer's pt of view, not a sellers.

I've always loved cabs. Open air driving is great. As far as wrapping goes I think it would be cool to try on a car that had rough paint just to try it out. I would do that matte green posted earlier.

For $1350, temporarily changing the color of my car is looking very attractive.
