They had several Ferraris getting the entire car covered when I was there. If I had the budget then, I probably would have done the same.

Went back and had the full quarters wrapped, and not only did the lines disappear from only the vents being wrapped, but the quarters no longer took any wear.

After 3 years and 25K miles on my Z06, the car, although well driven, still looked new. If I had planned to drive it a thousand miles a year or so (10K miles in 8 years), I might have reconsidered wrapping the car, and certainly wouldn't have done the whole car. Wouldn't be taking it much on freeways with lots of trucks and other vehicles which toss rocks, though.

My ZR1 is going on a 1000 mile trip this weekend, down to the Long Beach GP. It doesn't risk getting chipped on backroad trips to the beach--it's the trips up and down Hiway 5 that are the risk.

On the other hand, I have a 1970 numbers matching, fully documented Hemi Challenger 4 speed. It gets driven about 10 miles a year, and is a show car. It's not wrapped. Guess it depends on your intended application for the vehicle.
