Body Wraps.

Does anyone have experience with full body wraps? I got an idea that I'm looking into. I thought about wrapping the entire outside with a carbon fiber wrap. I looked into the price and the warranties. The price isn't to bad but the warranty is not all that great. Anyone ever get a full body wrap? Any problems with them?

a couple of wrapped vibe threads are
viewtopic.php?f=33&t=30875" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=32195" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
In that second thread high revin says he does wraps for work, but he hasn't posted since 2010 so he may not pay attention to genvibe anymore. Usernames that still have a space in them indicate that user reactivated their account since the forum software update, so sending them him a PM is a long shot, but might be worth a try
I have no car wrap experience, can't offer any insight into cost and reliability
Might be worth asking one of the photoshoppers to texture a vibe in CF so you can better see what it would look like

I've been looking at sheets of White Carbon Fiber Vinyl to cover the hood of my Vibe. I think a complete wrap would look great.

Would love to know how long these last as well. Have seen some that look amazing!

The warranty I have seen is 1-2 years on labor and 3-5 year manufacturers warranty on material. I was also told that with carbon fiber its tough to make sharp turns like on the front bumper near the projector lights. The warranty wasn't all that great but the cost was anywhere between 2,800- 3,200 for the entire outside of the car on every inch. I saw a 350z on the net the other day that was completely wrapped and it looked bad (removed)!!
