That is real nice sir!! Awesome pics!! Okay, okay.....I'm seeing a lot of people wrapping...so it must be a sign. How easy is it to wrap? Is this stuff like saran-wrap or something for cars?

Thank you very much. Here are a couple of pics taken by the garage that wrapped it. You can kind of get an idea of how the wrap is applied. Its like a stretchy sticker.

And yes those people who mentioned it, it was a lot of fun getting the shots for the photo shoot! Was nice to put the Evo to its proper use and getting it sideways. The shoot was on a beach so the sand was very soft, still got a few scratches in the wrap but nothing major. With the wheels constantly spinning it kinda sandblasted some of the matte black off the rims but it was worth it for the end results.

Thanks {thumb up}. I believe they can do some minor repairs. Most of the scratches I got where on the back doors. If I was really bothered about them I could just get the doors re-done. However, Im just going to leave it for the moment as I may change the colour in a few months anyway.

The wrap comes with 5 years maintenance, so in the case of it bubbling or peeling they with maintain it throughout the period. Which is obviously ore than enough time as the chances are you would change e colour before the maintenance runs out. Other than that you can do everything with it you can with normal paint. Take it through the car wash and everything.

Yeh I have the originals in .tif format but they are 50mb each. These ones I literally saved from Facebook. If I can find out how to share the high resolution images I would be happy to.

I paid $1,800 for window tints, painting the rims matte black and the wrap. If I remember correctly the wrap alone was around $1100.
