    Looks like it makes your VX a shape-shifter.

    I'm sure it is, just wishing there were less blurry pics so we can appreciate it more. What wrap did you use? I heard 3M was discontinuing the Di-Noc stuff that PNW used.

    At least the body if not the cladding. Notice you can still see the Proton on the door jams.

    I would love to see some better pictures. Very cool idea getting the whole thing wrapped in CF.

    Didn't mean that previous comment to be critical, just pointing out how you can tell it's the same VX. Do you think it's possible to do the door jams with wrap or do you think you'll have to paint them black or gray? Seems like wrap could be difficult to apply well around the hinges and locks.

    Oh I understood. Wrap would be to hard. I'm actually going to see how plack plasti dip works out. That stuff looks like it will do the job

    Is this the 3m DiNoc stuff? I've got a sheet of it in the garage waiting to go on the hood insert, but I'm wondering if I need to do something with the cracks, first.

    looks cool i would really like to see more pics - there are a lot of trucks here in town that have the bottom half done in camo and i had always wondered if it was possible to do an entire vehicle - doesnt seem cheap though - you said you did it so you could go back to proton someday, so i have to ask how hard do you think it would be to take that stuff back off? seems like you would need a couple gallons of some type of paint safe goo gone
