Anyone use a wrap on their Thing? Or on part of it? just wondering if it would make any sense to jazz it up with carbon fiber look or color, or camo.

About three years ago I helped my neighbor do it to his 380Z, and I think it will be next to impossible on a Thing. The ribbed sheet metal, the air vents, and all the right angles in the fenders make it a very complex shape for the vinyl.

I did my new Accord in clear to keep the stone chips down, the front end, front sides, and mirrors, LOVE IT, works well.

yes I wondered about that. Also I read a review and the guy said it showed every little imperfection. Might work for accent striping I think..

Clear bra vs vinly wrapping a Thing are two different animals.

I could see doing the front and front bumpers and rear lower fenders to help against rock ding, but doing the whole Thing is a vinyl wrap would be very time consuming due to the ridges. It is hard enough to polish with the ridges on nearly every panel.

Thanks for the post, my daughter has asked about painting our thing. I said NO, I will let you design something and get it wrapped.
