Gee, you don't think driving a vehicle that looks like a 20 ton snowball is cool? Well, me neither.
I've done a little research on vinal graphics and have been quoted aprox $13.00/sq ft for custom cut UV resistant vinal (in one color).
The graphics guy says they would expect their stuff to last 6 to 10 years, depending on exposure to the elements. As I keep my conversion inside I would think the material life would be considerably longer.
The advantage (imo) would be ease of application & also replacement if damaged. The graphic company advised they would save the design info on cd & give me a copy.
I've also found that painted graphics would probably cost about the same, at least for the "tear" design that I'm considering.
