Default Better, worse? Looking for feedback...



I'm in negotiations with my local Chevy dealer to re-wrap my Z06. I've enjoyed my existing wrap, and it's protected my car mightily, but the primary sponsor has gone out of business and it's time to do it again. This is by no means the final design. I'm missing the tire rack stuff, and other things, but represents what I'm thinking at this time.

As I love cars, I want to keep the car predominately black. The "black" areas on the car will still be part of the wrap. On the hood, the dealership logo will be prominent and I envision flames coming out of the "faux intake" through the hood, and onto the roof. The light blues and greens of the old wrap aren't working for me anymore.

Better?

Worse?

See signature for version 1.0.

Definitely like the new package better ! - The greens / blues in old one did not work well at all.

Looks good. How much does it cost to get a car wrapped and where do you have to go to get that done?

Original wrap was $3,200, but the company that did the wrap took the rear bumper and took $1,000 off of the price tag. They will be wrapping the version 2.0 as well.

Best thing about the wrap is the underlying car will continue to look BRAND NEW. I've got cone rash out the ying-yang on the car, but it's all on the wrap.

Where? Local vehicle wrap company.
An old employee did the original wrap.
Current proposal is my work.

My car doesn't look brand new any more :-(. Too many cone hits and sand blasting from track days. Maybe I'll make it look brand new with a wrap like that some day.

I had 3 large rock chips on the driver door / rocker panel on this car 1 week after I trailered it back from the museum. I went to contact paper for awhile and graduated to wraps. The rock-chip protection is worth it. I beat the living chit out of my car, yet, underneath, it looks brand new.
