The orange wrap material would protect the front and lower rockers and all of the graphics would be easily removed if needed. If you ever want to sell the car just remove all of the material and you have a nice blue Corvette.

66SuperSport:

Thanks for the input. After visiting with some of the suppliers locally, I think a good high quality wrap would be really nice. Some of the lessor quality wraps I don't think should be used.

I wondering "IF" I were to ever sell the car in the future if having it wrapped would really make any difference in the value. The car is made to be driven, and I would think that any future buyer wouldn't necessarily see this as a bad thing as it would also allow them to make any kind of change they wanted for very little money to, "Make it theirs".

I am definitely going to go with one if for no other reason I have never tried one, and if it turns out to be a crap idea at least people wouldn't make the same mistake as I.

Thanks again for posting, will see if this works out well or not. Keep you fingers crossed.

Thanks,

Ty
