Interesting idea. Would this somehow mess up the paint underneath if left on for a prolonged period of time?

It said it could be left on for 3-4 years with no damage to the original paint.

That would be cool to do to a leased car, then have it pulled off before you turn it in, thing would be perfect still! When I lived in Tulsa this asian nail lady had a bright pink g35 coupe one day, then it was purple, then it was yellow all within a week or so, I wonder if this is how she did it!

The only address I could find was in Dubai.. Any idea how much this costs? I'm guessing well over $600 since that's usually what the clear guard costs. I would get this done in a heartbeat if it was $500-600 and I knew someone locally to do this!

My neighbor did something similar with his Hummer H2 for the dealership he works for. It is completely wrapped but not a solid color. All graphics.

I'll have to take some pics... This Hummer is quite the beast!

I bet this is an absolute pain to install. Imagine trying to get every little crease out.


And how does this thing hold up against the elements? Wouldn't it tear during winter when it's icy cold?

Its vinyl. Read the spec sheat from the website. This is really nothing new. Its the same vinyl people are wrapping cars with... but clear. It also can not be stretched into crevaces (fact sheet said it would lift in a week) and does not do well in warm humid climates. So I would be willing to bet this is just glorified vinyl striping tape and it will not protect your car from and significant rock chips. Anyway you would be looking at a couple of grand minimum to wrap your car.
