Eric, that sounds badass dude, and you're right, it is less expensive than a paint job,
and looks almost as good as a brand new one, plus helping protect against rock chips and stuff, that's good.

The car is silver, I wish I had the ability to do it on a computer first,
but, I have a picture in my head of what it could look like when it's done,
and it looks pretty good bro.

Pros:
Yes, and hell yes.

Cons:
the weight is an interesting issue, that I didn't even think about, so thanks for bringing it up!
My car is in good enough condition that I'm not worried about that, but, the heat from the engine might effect the hood somewhat....
Also, it is a permanent bond but it can be removed with some extraordinary TLC and magic,
I don't plan on removing it though.

Eric, you're the man.
I had a buddy get his Subaru STI WRX thingy wrapped, hood, trunk, and roof also,
it's been on there and solid for over 3 years, no issues.

I will be sure to post pictures of before and after,
and I will also let everyone know how it went,
the costs involved, and time and energy spent doing this.

Keep the comments coming!
