I'd love to do that wrap, to match my license plate (HIQ ZBRA). Where did you get it from, and indeed, how much was it?

With a little time (a couple hours to a day) and creativity you can do this cheap. It might not look quite as perfect as the one in the picture but it can be done for about $30-$50 and that is a HIGH estimate. You'd need someplace to install it though.

How can you do it? Just get a roll of vinyl like they have at sign shops as well as some application tape. Put the application tape over the the vinyl and then cut your shape you want. Peel off the sticky side off, squirt some soapy water on the car and apply. Slide around to the place you want it then squeegee excess water out and then trim to perfection with a razor. Mind you, this would be extremely tedious with the the zebra pattern.

The wife wanted me to do ladybug circles for our Weecar but I am so thankful we were orphaned a silver tridion. Talked her out of it. Sign shops will sell you lengths of vinyl to cut out what ever shapes you want. I'm thinking of doing a stripe on the hood for my Weecar. I have a surplus of all different colors and some other equipment to aid me though.

That wrap is awesome though I shudder at the thought of the price.

Today I was at the grocery store and had the thought, "What would a smart car look like with barcode stripes?" Guess it wouldn't be too far off from a zebra look.

As shown in "angel's" post, it's really fun to go to the "ontwerb je smart" website and create your own colors. Under "eigen kleur"
