New Ways to Customize the Look of Your Vehicle!

If you're like many auto enthusiasts, you chose your vehicle because of some unique features that make itdifferent and that set it apart in a crowd. You might have even invested in some aftermarket components toincrease performance or to modify the car's appearance with the intent of making it distinctly yours. Didyou know that vinyl wraps and graphics can create another great way to customize the look of your car,truck, van, RV, or other vehicle? Car wraps and vehicle graphics aren't just for businesses to use as fleet

advertising! New wrap materials offer some visually attractiveoptions for vehicle owners who want to achieve a unique "look"in their vehicles' appearance.

Instead of the expense and potential risk associated with a newpaint job, custom wraps and graphics can be safely installed andlater removed. This feature is particularly important in the caseof exotic vehicles that can potentially lose resale value with anafter market paint job. In contrast, a car wrap and vehiclegraphics allow you to customize your vehicle during your timeof ownership, and the wrap and/or graphics can later be cleanlyremoved for resale purposes.

Mobile advertising using car wraps and vehicle graphics hasrapidly become a powerful and extremely cost-effective meansfor increasing a business' exposure to a much larger audiencethan traditional store-front signage achieves.


As a result of the popularity of mobile advertising, many new wrap materials have been developed toprovide increasingly improved performance characteristics including outdoor durability, color fastness,clean removability, and installation on complex vehicle body curves.

These new materials enhance the available cosmetic options for personal, custom car wraps and vehiclegraphics. In addition to wrap vinyl that can be digitally printed in full color with complex patterns andphoto-realistic images, some wrap materials are solid, opaque colors including a dramatic matte black wrapthat is becoming increasingly popular for high-end and exotic vehicles. Other wrap material optionssimulate the look of carbon fiber, diamond plate, or actual vehicle paint in brilliant colors to accent avehicle's appearance.

Combinations of these materials can be used to wrap or cover the complete vehicle body or even as a partialwrap to cover portions of the vehicle such as the hood, fenders, or roof. In addition, these materials arefrequently used as accents on mirror shells, spoilers, etc. Contrasting colors and/or contrasting finishes(such as gloss vinyl accents on a matte black wrap) create visually stimulating graphics that are sure tomake your vehicle a one-of-a-kind!
