Re: Vehicle Wrap
i don't think anyone on here has a complete wrap done to their car but there is a member who has their roof black but i believe it's painted. i don't think a matte black would look all that great on the crossfire. i like my gloss paint. to me matte colors just look cheap
I agree, it also makes the car look smaller and not nearly as sleek. The aerodynamics seem lost when you turn off the shine. To me it looks like an unfinished primer job.

Re: Vehicle Wrap
Meguiar's is currently working toward the intro of a vehicle wrap product under our Wraptivo brand. We had a booth at SEMA last year and will have one again this year - with vehicles being wrapped during the event. Our overall plan is to have an app online where you can bring up an image of your car and see how various materials will look on it - and even upload your own artwork, have it printed out and installed by a pro. We're a ways off on getting all that put together, but for small businesses or custom show cars the possibilities are literally endless.
We sponsored a rally car at this past weekend's X Games here in LA, but it was only partially wrapped with a carbon fiber material on the roof and hood. ( http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog....lypractice.jpg ) We did a few cars here at work for some testing and demo purposes. Our COO's BMW M3 has the carbon fiber material on the roof, my boss has some on the hood and roof of his Cherokee SRT8 and I've got the brushed titanium on the roof of my PT Cruiser. These are textured vinyls, so the carbon fiber looks and feels like the real deal (without the resin coating, of course) and the brushed titanium on my car is surprisingly realistic. People are always running their hand over it to feel the surface.
I did a write up on our forum when we were having this done a few months back ---> Wraptivo Designer Car Wraps in action! - Car Care Forums: Meguiar's Online We've done a Porsche Cayman in matte white that is just stunning. We did the whole car in matte white except for the roof, which is the carbon wrap. (Twitter pic in studio here ----> Ow.ly - image uploaded by @Meguiars_USA ) We had it at Barrett-Jackson in Orange County last month and some people needed a lot of convincing that is a vinyl wrap. This stuff isn't for everyone, of course, but the possibilities are endless.

Re: Vehicle Wrap
I'd love to have my XF wrapped. I see a bunch of cars at Vividracing all the time. Certain designs just look awesome and make the car stand out...But its pricey.......
It would also protects the paint from getting sun damaged, which is great if you live in AZ...Just my 0.02

Re: Vehicle Wrap
Personally speaking I'm not a fan of wraps sandwich or otherwise. Why does there have to be something on every square inch of a car that jumps out at you? Nascar and now even the pro ranks of the NHRA look like rolling billboards. Just makes what once was a beautiful car, ugly. What happened to a car with just a beautiful paint job? I don't get it but then again I'm an old fart. Have fun with it and don;t forget the bow!
