do you think its a bad twilight zone episode for team associated to be re producing a buggy from yesteryear that is capable of beating their latest and greatest production buggy?

Looks good, I know it's near impossible to do without seams. Do the wheel covers too 8)

I will suggest (if you want it to last as long as possible) get some 3M Edge Sealer, that will help to keep the edges from peeling up so quick :mrgreen:

thanks for the tip sir,i was thinking of what to use to do the seams but it was my first "wrap" i just did it fast and did the best i could.i know they use something for the seams when they wrap real cars.this material i used is the same stuff they use so now i know what it is for the future. with this material it is hard to make it look like the grain is going the same way but then again real race cars that have large pieces made of carbon fiber are not pretty as well :lol:

Where did you get the wrap? That would be a great way to 'revive' my scratched up graphite chassis

That vinyl in particular loves to try and straighten itself back out.

Looks sharp 8)

3M's Dinoc (sp??) is supposed to be really good at conformity and adhesion. I have not tried it but I have seen some impressive results

ive seen the dinoc stuff as well but it can get expensive and i think it has an air gap in it as well wich some like and dont like. also since its 3m its gonna stick better anyways because of their voodoo secret adhesieve.
