Full bod-E wrap!!

Saw this when I was in FL, pretty cool way to advertisE your business...... :shock::evil::evil::D

WOW! and SC's no less!!

Definitely won't miss that rolling down the street.

Nice

I always thought an Element wrapped in the Table of Elements would be so cool

Very expensive way to advertise!

Cheaper than a billboard, and unlike a billboard these things can go with you (or to crowds.)

I can't read it, what's it advertising? :rolleyes:

How much does a billboard lease cost?

Each one of those Elements is at least $8,000 to wrap.

The biilboard sign on the right of the foto below leases for about $1,000,000 a month.

How much is a realistic billboard?

And how many millions see the billboard a month?

I think you mean reasonable, as in price, but much more per month than the SC & wrap cost of $30,000 over three years.

I don't know the traffic counts on the Santa Monica Freeway, but most metro areas including the James Wendell Parkway in DT ATL, would be similar.

Thanks, Greg!!

Nice

heh that would be interesting

A full body wrap on a Honda Element can be done (design, printing, installation) for about $4,000 (a 3/4 wrap would only be about $2,400). This wrap will last for about 3 years.

A billboard in a medium sized city would cost about $2,000/mo.

Cost of a car wrap per month = $4,000/36 months = $111/mo.

As you can see it is significanty CHEAPER to purchase a car wrap than it is to purchase a billboard.

Besides people are so used to seeing a billboard that most hardly pay attention any more. If you see one of those Elements driving down the road you are going to notice it!

Scandles beach resort has one wrapped in Bayers Lake in Halifax Nova Scotia looks kinda cool....neat idea

I do vehicle wraps and things of that nature and I can tell you that the element is not in the range of 8 grand to wrap. more like 3-4 at the most. closer to 3 when you get four of them done at once.

Think it was for a place in Texas, but they were found parking in a burger joint :lol:

Looks a lot like the one I saw at a car wash yesterday.

if you find not a chicken car, but infact a CHICKEN at the local carwash, you might be a redneck. :rolleyes:

Hey!! Don't knock it. Not too many places where you can get
your car wash, and pick a fresh chicken for dinner. Good place
to take your cousin on a date.:razz:

I thought these wraps looked pretty cool.

wrapping a car is no longer $8,000.00 I would sure like to charge that, but being a graphic designer and owning a printing company, a full wrap with custom graphics can run $2800.00 which also last anywhere from 4 to 5 years with the right media. (ink, vinyl, laminate) on an "E".

I have always wanted to wrap my e for my entertianment service and I am finally going to do it. I can't wait. I have just gotten the design together and will be sending my car out on Friday for the job. I swaped out the fenders on the 03 for the ex-p fenders which comes as smooth plastic and we tested them to see if the wrap would work... and it works great. There will be some minor changes but I have included the design. I will be glad to show the finished product.

You HAVE to show the finished product:-P
The design looks cool!

yep, me and my cousin tend to go to chicken dinner a lot :roll::roll:




not (borat)

Well I'm getting the E washed today. Maybe I will pick up a two piece and a biscuit! :rolleyes:

neiljames- pretty cool design can't wait to see the finished product!

Here in Indianapolis I have seen a couple wrapped E's. One is a lawncare service and the other is an HVAC company.

Neil...that is going to look totally cool, I can't wait to see the finished product! 8-) ;-)

I have debaged, changed out the fenders to ex-p fenders and mounted a third brake light outside the tailgate. All textured fenders have been bubble wraped and placed in one rear fender box from honda awaiting a new home. I also have changed out all silver bumper covers to black. Drop off is Friday.

Nice idea for your wrap. I do wraps here in Montreal and we didn't a few for cell phone company a few years back. That's how my wife saw her first "e" and fell in love.... for the second time!! Elements are a breeze to wrap, I would do 'em for $2000 or less if I had 4 to do. If anyone has any questions about wraps, signage, etc., just send me a message.:grin:

Here is my 07 all wraped in nascar Vitamin Water graphics.:razz:

I got my E fully wrapped ('03 and didn't wrap the plastic bits) for $2,000 flat. It was done by Matthews Graphics and they did a GREAT job! 3M vinyl and everything. It looks great. I would recommend anyone who wants to get their E wrapped to go to them. They were by far the cheapest of any place I checked and I have absolutely zero complaints. I have had it for a little over a month now and it looks just as good as the day I got it.

Here is the first picture of My Wrap! SP-1 is on the scene. I will take more angles soon.

"W8-)W!!!"

Neil...that is totally cool!!! They did a beautiful job, it looks like it came from the factory like that. There is no way that you could ever get any better advertising than that! Congratulations on an EXCELLENT decision!!!

Chief

Thanks. I seem to be the talk of the town. In two weeks I have a church carnival on Fri,a Block Party on Sat and a Car Show on Sun. All these events I will be playing right out of the truck. Can't wait. Bring on the business.

Here is a slide show of all sides before & after. E-Wrap Of SP-1 (http://www.spinnersplus.com/archives/2008/08/post_1.html)

I had added red brake shields behind the wheels which still look great chief...thanks.

I'm actually going to do some graphics on my E here shortly, probably not a wrap though, I don't wanna put graphics on my paint.

Definately doesn't cost $8000 to do vehicle wraps anymore. A high quality wrap is priced very close to what a decent paint job runs (in the $2500 range), while there are "wrap factories" who can do them under $1000. Those kind of prices are only found in areas where the wrap business is very competitive, and usually by shops who specialize in wraps.

//works at a sign shop. does vehicle graphics all day. ;-)

A wrap is the best protective layer for your paint. I have learned that Vinyl graphics will leave marks when removed, but a wrap can easily be removed and has no effect on the paint or its surface. If I had a new car I would be glad to wrap it knowing that the paint would be perserved for the length of time the wrap was on. Breing that my car had a few years I was glad to cover the rainspots and imperfections that come with age.

Best protective layer Do you do this for a living by chance?

I Run a DJ entertainment service for a living but have learned alot about wraps as I was investigating having it done. I still can't get used to the heads turn when I am on the road. I guess that means it is doing its job. this was the best bang for my advertising dollar. I Love Me E!
