Default Anybody wrap or plan to wrap their car in a different color?

For people who don't know you can wrap your entire car with matte, glossy, any color finish... it looks identical to painting. Runs anywhere from $2000 to $4500 depending on where you go and any extras, etc.

Here is a BMW M3 wrapped. I think the C7 would look amazing in this color with the black wheels...



and a z06 wrapped as well...




lastly, a porsche 911 wrapped:

I might do that to preserve the original paint.

Interesting, How is the longevity when exposed to the elements. If someone
decides to take it off, big problems

This is something I've always wondered, but admittedly never looked into it.

Big problems? No problems at all actually. I unwrapped cars three years later with no residue left behind at all. We wrapped my friends STi three yrs ago and he beats it through salt, rain, mud and snow...still looks good. My vette is wrapped...holds up nicely. Its great paint protection that can be undone...this is why it started being used by exotic guys in the first place.

That's not a 911.
