We love our eruption green and we were wondering how to get some trailstripe protection and have some fun.

Internet provided some inspiration and after integrating artists, printers and wrap installers, we got our Woody.

What a fun idea! That's what these vehicles are for. Mobile, functional automotive art! Some people do art with larger tires, wheels, bumpers, lifts, racks and more. You have some of that, and vinyl faux panels. Woodys were around in the my 1950's childhood, and as beach buggys. In this case, vehicle wrapping lets you enjoy this artistic style. And when you get tired of it, peel it off! For those scoffers, I found this brief article on the Woody history, including links for further reading!

Enjoy!

Nice play on woods.

I hope you don't feel mistreeted, I'm all bark and there's only a sliver of truth in what I say.

Somebody had to do it! Great job OP!...only one question...did you do like Rolls-Royce does and save the tree? If the vehicle is ever in an accident and you need replacement panels you are never gonna match the grain unless you have the original tree!

I would like it more, if I could just get this image outta my head...

At least Aunt Edna's not tied to the roof!

Thank you, I grew up around the country squires in the 60's but my wife gets inspirational credit, I drove the project and we have been very happy with the outcome.

We did better, we got the tree dna, all saved in cryo storage with 3d printers all on backup at a offsite secured location.

Loving all the response. No worries, with the wrap I got really thick skin

The roof material isn't conducive to a wrap according to the installers. Would need to be painted. We remove our panels quite often and the paint would probably wouldn't hold up.

There are members who have "successfully" dipped, wrapped and painted the MIC roof panels, I wanted to do mine! But I have the same concern as you, since I remove them alot: I dont think that paint, wrap or dip would hold up well to the dings and scratches that constant removal and install would cause! There's a reason for "Moulded In Color"!

I'm stumped, I thought this subject would make you pine for the knotty memories you made with your wood.

I'd have skipped the Wildtrak lettering and the quarter window treatment, but otherwise, it's perfection. Well done.
