Not the good form of music, but the wrap variant .

Final Product

I went to Autozone to get weathers trip adhesive because the rear hatch seal was coming off and while there I wandered to see if I needed anything else. Well I came across Farbon Ciber wrap. So I decided doing the hoop and the little hatch glass hinge part would look good.

Weight Reduction

This meant I had to remove the rear glass which was surprisingly easy. Just four bolts, undo the struts, and she pops right off.

You can see my Healey under the cover

Wrapping wasn’t too hard, but is definitely a skill that take practice and experience to get right. Like most of this car looks really good up to 5 feet away and then you see she is a bit rough around the edges.

God I hate those seat covers. I can’t wait to put in some proper bucket seats

But I really like the final outcome. I think the “black” hoop looks much better seeing as the roof and the window trimmings are all black too.

White Russian anyone?

At some point I will probably wrap the whole car. Probably blue as #blueisthefastestcolor. I have read up that higher quality wrap is better and easier to use so there is that too, but for cheap crap and the first time I am happy.

It is one of my favorite and fits perfect on my car.

Yeah, it really is. Could only be better if this was an early C4, instead of a late one, but that's really picking a nit.

Yeah but the early ones are so... just not my cup of tea. I don’t really like them.

Praise the old gods who knew it was so easy to make the Corvette a Ute.

I am in complete agreement. It was such a minor facelift, but such a huge im provement. The late C4 is where it's at. I absolutely love your car, just like I loved the last one.

Ha ha thank you very much man. I liked the GTO, but I absolutely love this car. Definitely always look back at it and not being owned by the bank is nice too

Man, youre a jack of all trades when it comes to fiddling around your car. As far as the C4 goes, this is not a car I mind seeing more around here, love it!

I guess if taking the glass off doesn’t make it a Ute it’s at least a roadster for the day. Convertible as hell

Welp, that looks just about perfect.

And the wrap looks great, too.

Glass is back on, but yeah I should drive it some time fully open. Would be like a Stag or Sunchaser

I appreciate that. I figure if I can read a manual or watch a youtube video and I have the right tool, then why not give it a go? I like dickin g around with cars.

Love how it turned out, that look always looked like a fighter jets canopy to me when the top is all blacked out. I really want to wrap my next car purple or green so I'm scared how hard it'll be. Guess some of that depends what I get.

CaptDale - is secretly British > Khalbali
09/28/2019 at 12:41

Yeah it is a good look.

Honestly I wouldn’t worry too much. Take your time, get quality wrap and if you mess up peel it off and start over
