Default Vinyl Wrap anyone?

Just wondering have any of you or anyone you know have one done? Basically a alternative to a paint job. I own a firehawk and really don't want to paint it or anything but have really wanted to do a white or metallic orange ta. Anyone have any thoughts on any of this or any experience. Pictures or input.

I'm not sure that would be a good replacement for a paintjob, especially on a hawk

I looked on this sit but couldn't find any I saw a few other sits I could pm to u if u wanted. I was debating the same thing but im leaning towards the paint job just because I wanted a more simple look

a wrap will cost you about the same as a single or even a dual color paint job. Wraps are only good choice if you A: have decent paint already on the car and B:going to be adding graphics that cant be painted or will cost 10 grand to do. Also your door jambs wont be wraped also under the hood.

for the price you are much better off spending the money for a paint job.
