Saw this on Ebay. Basically a stock FR-S (says Raven Black) but completely covered in chrome wrap. $40k seem a bit excessive? I have no idea, but if you want to attract attention, good and bad, this is a quick solution. Thoughts?

I kind of like it. Reminds me of a Matchbox car I had as a kid...lol.

hahaha i love how people think something different like this will add value to a car


maybe 5K tops in material/labor to wrap the car.... for a 15-20K profit??? sign me up!!

my eyes....they hurt.

i have to admit...I like it. For 40k I was expecting see a FBM turbo under the hood as well. some dumb ass will buy it though.


EDIT: oh snap it has TRD wheels. now I understand why it's 40k

Atleast throw in some clear corners.

my eyes!

My eye's are bleeding.

Here's a chrome wrap that does work: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52070

How can they sell a totaled car for 40k?

FLORIDA

More like $1k in materials and about 10 hours labor (unskilled labor at that...)

I saw a BRZ like that at a Subaru dealer near Tarpon Springs, FL last year.

I hope the sun is never shining when you try to drive that thing.

Definitely not my favourite colour choice.

even a better profit!

Answer: They can't.

There's an Audi around here with a chrome wrap. Looks like utter shit in person.

And here I was feeling so utterly thankful that I finally have a car that DOESN'T have any god damn chrome I have to paint or cover up somehow...

Wow. That actually looks nice.

noooooooooo

I can imagine someone buying the car then years later take off the vinyl and finds out the paint is all swirled up and bad underneath. :eyebulge:

Ugh...here in AZ, people would be crashing around you everywhere you went from being blinded by the reflection of the sun off your ugly ass car....

I've seen worse.

Hey! You guys stop making fun of my car.

I like it in theory but not sure I'd like the attention it would attract. Maybe easier to put over in FL or CA.

40k is such a scam

Is that what happens with vinyl wrap that has been left on the car too long? I have no idea...I'm too old for the whole 'wrap thing'. Not to be confused with 'rap'...lol.

Worse, it's actually a new car with 13 miles on it at a dealership. They should know better.

They say it right there in the listing: "ONE OF A KIND SCION FR-S CHROME PACKAGE $5400"

They would charge you $5400 to do this to your car, so it can't be anywhere that expensive for them. I still don't see how they take a $25K car, add a $5400 wrap even at retail and come up with $40K.

I don't think is rice is missing more rice details

As Gregg Allman once said- wrap is short for cwrap.

If your gonna mirror-polish a car, why not do it with some style?

Besides, the gold-plated versions weren't good for flux dispersal:

But... think of finger smudges. They'll be EVERYWHERE. If the reflection doesn't drive me insane the finger smudges will.

So I sent the guy a message to ask about the price of this car. Here's his response:

"The MSRP on this FRS is 31368, This has the upgraded Wheels, TRD, Navi, plus the 5400 Chrome package, I will adjust my pricing to reflect this. We can Charge on an addendum for the Chrome Package."

I think he's also charging for the extra capital letters.

Chrome looks better is small doses.... somebody OD'd

i took the two pics of him in his stock tires (he was on snow tires at the time) :D

personally think some cars can pull it off
