So happy with my new wrap job in 3M Green Envy!

Ha ha ha! And thanks! I think the concern is having the plate AND your name. But I still don’t care!

Yeah, I think it’s more just follow the leader stuff.

What exactly would someone do with the information?

“Hey, green wrapped mustang guy! I saw you on the internet and decided to drive across the country!”

“Uh….. why?”

“To scare people! Now they know better and should hide their license plates!”

Where in ON are you? I'm out in the armpit of the province and would totally drive up and honk at you if I saw you on the road. ?

C’mon…not *all* of The Hammer is an armpit…there’s…ummmm…..

I chose to live here thanks to housing costs in my hometown that thinks it's the Centre of the Universe!

I don’t mind! $2850 CAD. I thought it was a great deal!

Oh heck! Why is it that everywhere outside the city I live in, these customizations cost waaaaay less? Dammit I wish I was quoted this when I shopped around for a wrap. The best quote I got was just over 4k which is why I decided to go with just a ceramic coating. lol

Yeah, still no clue why people hide their plates or hide their VIN.

Everyone in the world can see your plate when you drive your car. And your VIN is visible to anyone who walks up to it.

Basically, they hide public info.

Now if talking about your Bank PIN or social security number….. only you, Siri, Alexa, and the Russians have that info.

Nice wrap! It really stands out.

Because It's very easy to find out everything about someone with a tag number. For more prominent people it can lead to false reports of your vehicle doing any number of things.

Hide ya tag and your vin for general online exchanges. Yes, in public, those immediately around you can know your tag. No need to give it to the entire world though. Always exercise your right to anonymity. While 99% of people are overwhelmingly good, that other 1% can cause you hell.

when you do a wrap like this, what does it look like when you open the door/trunk/frunk?

Like a cheap paint job, but far more obvious. Helps to start with a black car if your goal is to wrap.

Did you get it ceramic coated as well?
How long do wraps typically last? And does 3M or the installer offer a warranty?
Sorry for the multiple questions, but I am not familiar with Wraps, and your car really looks amazing!

I did get the ceramic coat as well (that was an extra $650). And yeah my installer provided me with a 1 year warranty. But I am sure each one is different. Thanks for the feedback! And no problem for the questions, I’ll answer what I can!

You put a ceramic on the wrap, or the paint under it? I wouldn't have advised either personally.

Hi! It cost me $2850 CAD. They have so many Colors to choose from on the 3M car wrap website. Probably like half that price in the US!

What is the website?

I get people wanting to remain anonymous online.

But is that really possible if you’re posting info about yourself and your car?

Still questioning “what can they do with that info?”

Not sure I even understand your example of “For more prominent people it can lead to false reports of your vehicle doing any number of things.”

Like if you’re a celebrity someone might photoshop your car doing something?

Doubt we have any celebrities here, but I’d be shocked if what you are worried about has happened to a regular person…….. ever.

Celebrity cars? People can and do take pictures of them all the time. License plates in full view in public.

I dunno, just seems like irrational fear. Then again, most fears aren’t logic based. Some people are more scared of roaches than bears. Roach? Run and scream! See a bear? Honey! Get the camera! ?

Do you mind sharing a photo of what this looks like when the doors are open on the pillars? I've considered getting a wrap for my own, but I'm afraid that I'd have to pick a color that doesn't clash with the rapid red underneath.

I believe "armpit" was your choice of words...not mine Nothing against Hamilton, I'm just down the road.

This looks great. I am green with envy. ?

I Actually don’t think it looks bad at all. There is one sorta weird corner at the top left corner of my Frunk but I think the rest still looks great! (See attached video). And yes, I am due for a detailing!!!
