Woody Smart Cabrio Vehicle Wrap

Here's my silver/silver 08 cabrio with a yellow/black tridium bar/woody wrap. This is step 1 of a steampunk makeover, turning the car into a retrofuture/neo-Victorian turn-of-the-century updated horseless carriage redesign.

The skin was from Smart Car Skins, and the install from AB Installations in Sykesvilles MD. Total cost was $1,500, a cheaper price than I got from 3 paint shop estimates + 2 estimates from airbrush artists (though it should be cheaper still by using Smart Madness' woody panels if you do not also want to change the car's color).

While this is not everyone's cup of Earl Grey, it is mine. More pix to follow as the redesign progresses. markf

We have contemplated the steampunk makover on the car. The wood outline is a nice start but Some sort of gearing for the inside wood would look better.

Is your Cell in Mat Black? Thats a different look

Jpaul - thank you for posting the pix, I had not yet figured out the procedure.

Forestacademy - yes, I specified a flat black wrap instead of the silver of my tridium cell.

I would have like this one - US flag skin - for the James Memorial Day Parade my little car was in.

It would be great with the US military flags I put on the roof using a roof rack.
