Hey Steve. Ill photoshop your car tonight on what you should do. This is coming from the guy who does this for a living. He went to the same high school as I and we had a long talk about doing my car and what areas to do. Ill have it for you shortly.

I did the areas of the maroon and a bit more, about five inches onto the hood, around the headlight, left and right of the lower front apron (is that the right part name? maybe lower valance? not sure)

The guys who did my car do a lot of exotic and classic track cars, I talked to them regarding your post and the larger door film they thought it would not be necessary, better to do the hood instead. They are convinced the front part of the hood scoops on our cars are going to see damage....

I've seen lots of high end stuff getting almost full wraps, don't know what to think of it?

Hope it helps.

This is not my best work, but here is what we are going to do.

The only thing I might do is half the door as well to match the front and rear. You HAVE to do the front valance panel. Mine already has a few chips that Gearhead is going to fix, then it goes to wrap as well. If you have it done, make sure they wrap into the wheel wells good, get into that area. The only problem with wrapping half the hood is that you will see that line. As good as they are, you still will see it with little effort. The areas that I did are what Ill be doing as well.

There is another option.. although im not sure there is a company near you that does it.... most of the taxis over here are completely covered in film, in the design of whoever paid to cover it... so you could cover your car in complete race car grafix, with sponsor names and just go crazy... im sure willwood would love to have your car in willwood colors, my money is that they would love it enough to pay for the whole deal... meanwhile your paint stays perfect underneath..

ill try and shoot a picture today to illustrate

Be a real man and Line-x the sides! The off road guys do this, so c'mon Steve start a new PT trend.



We shoud've done the clear wrap thing before Art handed the keys over to PHR staffers. Is this stuff flame proof?

SW- is this your safe sex message?

IMO, I would do the leading edge of the hood, lower front valence, behind the front wheels, and maybe the rockers. Another option is to cut magnetic vinyl to size and place it behind the front and rear wheels (during track events only). I have done this on track cars and it stays in place.

I'm a bit fuzzy on what you mean.. could you do it on the Vette so I can see what you're talking about???

I would put it behind all four tires and the front of the car for sure.
