    I like bright colors. :)

    I don't think you can vinyl the wheel covers with all those tight angles. Can you? I'm not an expert on that.

    the only reason i believe it can be done is because i saw a youtube video on it however it didn't look easy for the novice vinyl applier...

    For the wheel covers, just need a hot air gun/ blow dryer, get the vynl hot enough to stretch it and use a towel to push it into the corners. But that looks cool man. The bright blue on the orange. The stripe looks good too. I might steal that idea ;)

    i'm wondering if plastic dipping is an option, i noticed they do sell a light blue spray... that would work well for the bumper and the rims but not really for the racing strip...

    however that would mean the blue would be matte and i would like the color to match the gloss of the rest of the paint

    Plasti-dip sells a clear gloss... they also make a match your own color that you use with a sprayer.

    My clear bra installer near Temucula does vinyl wraps. PM if you are interested.
