Default My car will be on display at the PRI show in Orlando [Pics inside]

EDIT: added some completed pictures

About a month ago I was approached by Doug@ECS and asked if I wanted my car to be on display at the PRI show in Orlando this upcoming weekend. Since I had never been to the show and I thought it would be a cool opportunity, I agreed and the car was wrapped/vinyl'd this past weekend.

The pics are kinda crummy as the sun was setting and I also didn't have the freshly painted wheels on, but this is what it looks like.

Anyone else going to the show?

Without knowing, it's hard to tell if it was black to start with or blue!

See you there!

I hope you are getting compensated for them doing that to your car

I like it! Interesting look; black with blue headlights. And it's all reversible. (right?)

Congratulations and thanks for sharing!

PRI show is this coming weekend in Orlando. It's basically the little brother to the SEMA show but is closed to the public.

The headlights do kind of stick out and since I don't have time to acquire a black set in time for the show, I'm going to see if my tint guy can give them a darker appearance for the time being.

I'm not receiving compensation or anything but everything is reversible. It's all 3M vinyl decals/stickers and will peel off when I'm ready to remove it.

I felt honored that Doug and Mantic asked to use my car in the show so that is enough 'compensation' for me. The vendors pays thousands of dollars to have a booth at the show so I feel blessed that I get to be a part of it.

So it is not open to the general public only to those that are registered, so I am not sure why you are asking except you may find one or two on the general forum that are going. I would think that if you post on the Tech and performance section you will get a better response.

Correct, PRI is IMO "the real deal", where racers/manufactures/shops & business owners go to see what the latest and greatest is. SEMA is the same way of course, but PRI skips all the bling garbage, 6000 wax booths, etc etc and just focuses on performance products.

I'll be there all day Friday and Saturday. You still have my cell #? Shoot me a text. The Mantic booth is #5345.

New toy huh? Still have the vette? Or did ECS and company add a little boost to it? I remember you were shopping around for that awhile back.

I actually had the pleasure of meeting Matt a few weeks ago and he seemed like a real nice, knowledgeable guy.

My buddy Chris hooked up the headlights with some nice tint and with the fresh paint on the wheels, I think she's lookin good. I drop her off in Orlando tonight and will be back Friday and Saturday for the show.
