Haven't gone to 3m website yet for direct info yet. May be a chance to change colors without ruining future value.

I knew this was how they do advertising wraps but I never thought about having it instead of a paint job. Not finding any info on choosing a color or getting service on it. I'm thinking the fake scoops on my new edge might complicate things too.

Cool idea if it really protects the paint for the folks who want it totally preserved. I can see the install not going well though if you lose patience or it's not dang near sterile when you start

This is not really new info, NASCAR, and other big companies, have been running wraps on thier cars for the past 3-4 years.. Just last year i helped my uncle wrap a mini-mod that was going out on the track, so i was not surprised to see this.. these things are tough to get on, but i have seen some really sweet looking ones.. If anyone is gonna do this, post pics up i think they are sweet

It would be cool to have this, however, I'm sure installing/removing it is a pain in the butt. It would take forever to get that applied with no air bubbles, and also to cut everything exactly flush with the car so it looks like paint...
I bet it costs just as much to have a new paint job done :P!

Probably looks like crap unless done by a pro who has used it before.
