honestly I have had it covered while I haven't been driving it....
and I haven't even been driving it that much since getting the Pcar lol....
I guess I've kind of been avoiding driving it to maybe preserve the wrap a bit more.....I'll probably get used to it and start leaving it un covered....
but then again, I might un wrap it too......

wait!answer the question!

it hasn't been that tough really......there have been a few smudges, but
they wipe off, sometimes with a bit more force than normal, sometimes not....
I'd say it's been pretty simple thus far

I'm beginning to notice that I fit in less and less on this forum with every thread I read.

To me, it's hideous. But hey it's your vehicle OP.

It's just the intersection of more conservative "leave the car stock" MB owners and the more edgy "let the mods begin" crowd coming together on the same forum. Nothing really wrong with that.

For me I wish there were more of the edgy types in my area.

Hi there,

I'm new in this forum. I wonder how much does it cost you to wrap the whole car? Anyway, you got a great car there. And where did you wrap your car? and where did you get that grill?

Train horn ? This really sounds fun yet infatuating lol There is a site I believe it is like www.hornblasters.com . I had seen some cracking videos on how people react when they hear this

Seriously, I like MB horns older ones were horrible
