If you're going to to through that much trouble to wrap it in white, why no Mach 5 symbols? That would have been b1tchin'!

It's funny that you always find something new to do on these cars, no matter how many prior mods you've done.

My old company has been using these wraps on Taxis in SA for advertising purposes for quite a while. I'm staggered at the durability of this stuff.

Red if you have your red wheel center caps fitted & silver/grey with your others.

Silver/gray logo over the red logo, so that you'll still see the red logo.

It'll complement your license plate theme.

Awesome job Frank. Looks great!!

Do you need to notify the DMV when you change the color of your car?

They have a black W203 on their records..but thats obviously not true anymore.

How does that work?
