    thats ok just peel the hood, and lay a fresh piece of tape. bet its cheaper than a paint job. plus if you dont like the color, a pull here, some windex there. presto! original color.

    i'll take one in red carbon fiber, please!

    Its just vinyl wrap just like you see companies doing to their trucks/vans. That shit isnt cheap tho. I bet to do a whole car in a solid color like that, material and labor is like $1500-$2000. Yeah its cheaper than a paint job, but still.

    i wouldn't be surprised if it did since they make those rock protection film out of a similar material.

    thats kind of neat, you would save alot of $$ when u buy aftermarket parts and u dont have to get them painted.

    That shit is harder to apply than you would think. Those guys did a good job on that, i wonder how long it took.

    The only thing about that stuff is that you cant really get it to shine like a paint can.. you cant buff it or wax it or anything.

    Need some paint or bodywork done in Chicagoland or NW Indiana???.. http://www.alsautobodyexperts.com/

    I was also wondering about how much it would shine. When you see them use this stuff for ads on vans it always looks kind of dull.
