Which begs the question, unless I missed it, what color is it?
The ad says green, but it looks black to me and I DO NOT want anything even close to black - shows ALL the dirt and spots.

I think I should do a poll to find out how many a$$ men are out there and how many prefer the front side

Don't know the old color, but the new colors are green, and black. Seriously.

I've known a couple of people that have done the wrap and enjoyed it with no paint problems underneath. From what I understand, the film and process is very similar to the clear bra.

If you want the car, don't like the color, this is a good alternative. BUT, the best alternative is to keep looking.

You should.

Always start such a thread with pics.
