Nice Looking Wrapped!!

That really makes the Circuit Yellow pop!! That wrap is making me reconsider color choices now. The yellow or the white are now on my radar with some sort of wrap on them. Thanks for the heads-up and the pictures!!

Thanks for all the approvals! I think the weather is going to warm up slightly this weekend and I hope to get the panels back on.

Dumb question

Ordered a kit I found on ebay and got it installed yesterday, looks good I think. Couldn't get the temps in the garage warm enough to install so I removed them and kept them inside for a week to adjust to temp. I will wait till better weather before reinstalling them.

So is the wrap clear so the color of the Spyder comes through or is the entire wrap already colored?

The entire wrap is printed with the graphics so everything is covered except the edges and seems. The hood (frunk) is a 4 piece set and the rear trunk is 5 pieces if this was one piece it would be very hard to install. The best way to install is to wet the surface and the back of the decal then apply and work the water out from under them to make them stick. This works good so you can get them into perfect alignment before they are stuck. Took me about 2 1/2 hours to do both pieces.

I'd like to have a "clear" do-it-yourself wrap, don't trust these Clear Bra guys using razor blades around the paint.

You can buy that stuff in large sheets and cut it your self. I bought a set of 4 sheets (10x24) for my Goldwing. Look in the dirt bike area.

Professionals now use Knifeless Tape.

Wow, that looks really, really nice! Maybe I'll have my Spyder wrapped. But I sure wouldn't do it myself. I can't even put a screen guard on a cell phone without wrinkles. Anybody know of anybody in Phoenix area that can install these wraps nicely?

Looking forward to seeing it all together. I purchased a wrap for mine and loved it. Here's a pic.

Looks great! :thumbup::thumbup: I think that the yellow color is the hardest color to put something on to make it look better or there just seems to be less choices for yellow.

Good Choice, 3 Wheel!

So after seeing 3 Wheel Addict's graphics, I had to have the same thing on mine. I didn't want a full wrap, just the hood and trunk, but after seeing the finished product, I kind of wish I bought a full set, as I liked it so much. It wasn't a "perfect" color match for the Quantum Blue Spyder, but close enough. Luckily I went with the version that had more black smoke around the borders of it, so this way the lighter blue's on the graphic don't stand out as much. If I had purchased a full wrap, I think it would have blended much better. But overall, still happy with it and would recommend it. The graphics were only $130. I purchased them from http://www.graphickitsdepot.com/

I don't see that one on their website. Only 5 designs come up searching for Spyder.

Does anyone make one that fits the glove box? Are they very resistant to scuffing? I'm thinking I'd like to put something on my glove box lid to protect it from my boots when I get on and off.

I haven't seen any that fit the glove box. I was told that the kits are 21-23mil thick industrial grade triple-layer 3M adhesive. They are covered with a thick layer of scratch-proof crystal clear vinyl over laminate.

Here's a link...lots of colors and designs for Spyder. You can ask for custom versions that have more black and smoke around the edges.
