Lol! That is hilarious! That is indeed mine in the background! And I saw a picture of yours which made me decide to go two toned! I originally was thinking to wrap everything and they showed me a picture of yours and I was sold! Great colour by the way!!!

Thanks! Glad I was able to provide some inspiration. I absolutely love the Grabber Blue. All my previous cars have been either black or gray so I wanted something with a little pizzazz. I did have a good chuckle when I pulled in and the only other car in the shop was also a Mach E.

you have one pic hiding your plate and another exposing it btw

also...everyone can see your plate when you are parked or driving, so it really does not matter if it shows in a picture. That color looks REALLY good, though!

Thanks so much!

I've got some pics posted with my license plate showing too. What is the danger in that? I'm curious as to if I should remove mine.
Thanks in advance!

Off topic a little but just started reading this thread, I’m not sure why anyone even bothers blocking out their license plates? It’s not like everyone driving on the road can’t see your plate? Kinda dumb.

License plates can be used to look up personal info on a publicly available database (I believe most DMVs provide this for a small fee). It sounds like the majority of forum members don't really mind or are of the mindset that somebody can just walk up to your car, write down your license plate and find out who are you. That's unavoidable and an acceptable risk of owning a car.

OP made an attempt to block their plates on at least one photo and so I brought it up. Myself personally, I don't want to expose any more of my private data than is already accessible through the internet. I agree with the idea that anyone with malicious intent could walk up to my car and look up my info but that doesn't mean I have to make it any easier for them.

Awe, don’t call me dumb.

Honestly, I don’t think there is any harm in being “too” cautious. (I’m the director of cyber security at my company, so maybe it’s ingrained in me! )

To add to this, seeing it in person does not tie it to your online persona. If you post pics here, you tie your online account to your car and to your personal info (name, address, phone number, email address, and even date of birth can be purchased online). Tying all this together now links posts where you might give certain details about your employment, any cryptocurrencies you might dabble in, etc.

With crypto becoming more and more popular, people are becoming victims of $5 wrench attacks, phishing, or my favorite, the phone sim swap which you are almost helpless against.

That said, try to keep as many barriers between your online persona and your real life as possible, even going so far as to have a separate dedicated email address for each forum or social media app. Up to you how much it matters to you.

Not calling you dumb, just my opinion that blocking it out doesn’t make much sense.

Such an amazing and meticulous wrap job by The Wrap Factory (WrapFactory.ca) in Ottawa, Ontario Canada.
Product: https://www.instawrapshop.ca/produc...y-vinyl-wrap-g336?_pos=1&_sid=a858451dd&_ss=r

Since there were a few questions about pricing, this is what I paid (Canadian dollars):

- Wrap price (material and labour): $2850+tx
- Ceramic coating: $650+tx

(not sure that the coating was necessary but, what the heck, “in for a dollar”…)

Thats freaking beautiful

 

[Rick65]

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

That is a good deal... In my area, I paid about US $1,500 for clear wrap the front of the car (hood, mirrors, front quarter panels, etc...) and another $2,500 for ceramic coating the rest of the car with XPEL products.

That sort of color is NOT for me, but I'm glad you are happy!

 

[b1ptsv24]

Thats freaking beautiful

Thanks!
