Default Vinyl wrap for CETA bumper?

We need someone to design Vinyl covers for the CETA bumper. That way we can change colors and designs, also have more design choices, and not have to paint the bumper, or pay to have it painted.

That would be very tough to get the vinyl to not wrinkle over those curves in the bumper. Id like to see it done.

I think w/ patience it can be done.. but hell I would never ever ever put fake CF vinyl on the body of my car. I make fun of those people at meets...they have a name too....they're called " Ricers "....but mass producing a black CETA vinyl I'm sure would sell, especially towards those who are scared to paint their OE bumper.

Am i reading this right...you want to cover an exterior part of the car (the bumper) with vinyl ?

I think that would look horrible, not to mention down low like that right near the heat from the exhaust.

I do not see why this would not work.. A buddy of mine use to own a sign shop and I have seen him do tons and tons of vinyl work. From entire van wraps to semi-trailers to ricers cars the works..

It all looked amazing to me and in most cases you almost could not tell the difference between paint. I just think it takes the right guy with the right amount of patients to get the job done right.

If I'm not mistaken, they wrap NASCAR cars in vinyl, also don't the wrap NHRA cars in vinyl? They put off a ton of heat.
