  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Paint is still better because it is more permanent.

    Ive had my pick up and 2 work vans fully wrapped. If ya keep it out of the sun it will last. Any dings ya get n the car the wrap needs to come off fix the body work and replace that section. For the business spending the 5K per truck was a good investment for advertising. For a personal car or driver Id say not so much. When the pick up goot so beat up it needed to be stripped and fixed we didnt put the wrap back on. working on the Van this week. will be replacing sections after the body work but where it got checked so bad by the sun on the hood and upper areas I had it color matched and painted then will just put vinyl lettering over it
