Default Question Reguarding Decals

I recently saw a 2004 vette with its entire body covered with some sort of transparent decals...even the windows. It looked like it was ready for the race track, but it was merely an enthusiast. I could not locate the person to see where and how they went about dressing up their machine. Does anyone know where this can be done without actually painting the car? My car is currently done like the Z06 LeMans edition, but it would be cool to stand out amoung the rest.

The decals are called vehicle wrap and can be printed with any image you want from a digital file. A high end sign shop should have the equipment to do the printing and the corvette template (size/shape) should be in the sign shops computer software.

I know there's a company that pays people to essentially turn their cars into rolling billboards, with the wrap ...

Incidentally, that's how NASCAR changes their paint schemes so quick too ...
