Look at this Wrapped RS!

[aka1004]

I never liked white panels on the RSS Special Edition and I was going to wrap all the panels in Matt black, like the old stealth edition, but I kinda like the black and orange combo, it has an evil/sinister look to it.

I've never wrapped anything, but was thinking about doing my '23. Is it difficult? Is it hard to get a smooth wrap around corners and differing elevations?

Wrapping is an art. It's very easy to do it badly.

True dat! But some of us can do that very well!!


The 'badly' bit, that is!

It takes a lot of patience and I mean A Lot.
3M wraps can stretch well enough to cover most curves and oddly shaped panels, but not all. All the colored panels were done with single sheet, but the lower plain plastics that have some funky cuts, I had to do in 2 pieces. It’s been on for 2 years and it's still not peeling. I’m no pro, I YouTube-ed it, and it’s not perfect, but barely good enough, no tolerable.

Congrats curious bout that 1 white piece. Does look like super complicated to attempt

Hood is the easiest panel and center panel was somewhat time consuming but nothing compared to two orange side lower panels, ones that cover oil reservoir and fan.
Those were the tough ones! I cut the sheet very large because I knew there is going to be a lot of stretching!

Is that a camera below your bags on the backrest? If so, does it bluetooth to your phone?

It’s hardwired dashcam/rear radar/appleplay/rearview monitor.
That square thing above camera is the radar. It flashes yellow and red light on screen like blind spot monitor on cars.
