Wraptivo from Meguiars will Revolutionize Vinyl Car Wraps

This week at the SEMA show Meguiars who is better known for their car care products announced ’Wraptivo’, an online customizer for designer vinyl car wraps.  Wraptivo allows consumers to create through it’s website a one-off temporary skin that transforms the exterior of ones vehicles into whatever they can dream up.  Wraptivo will give you the ability to choose textured finishes, such as chrome, carbon fiber and matte.  Other design options available using Wraptivo include shapes, NFL logos, flames, stripes and words or letters.  Once your wrap is created online and paid for it will be packaged up and shipped to a licensed installer who will wrap your vehicle in about 4-6 hours.  If your wondering about the price it will be easy on the wallet as Meguiars Wraptivo is said to cost between $1,000-$2,000 depending on style and vehicle.

While at SEMA I got a first hand view of the whole process as I created my very own skin for a 2009 Mustang.  My skin consisted of a carbon fiber wrap with some simple flames running down each side, nothing to over the top.  I also watched as they skinned a 2009 Mustang GT with a Heritage color wrap, very cool.  You can view my custom skin below along with the press release and a few photos I took while hanging around the Meguiars Wraptivo booth. … Continue Reading

Hallett CarFX Project Car on December ‘09 Cover of 5.0 Mustang Wrecks

If you have read the latest issue of 5.0 Mustang magazine you might recognize the wrecked Mustang in the photo.  It’s one of the three Hallett CarFX project cars on the December 2009 cover of 5.0 Mustang.  The Hallett CarFX wrecked on a track in Jennings, Oklahoma.  The driver lost control and crashed into the tires flipping the car on it’s roof.  The whole experience was captured with some pretty sweet photography.  When it came to rest the Hallett CarFX Mustang was sitting upside down with the roof completely crushed.  Thankfully the driver and passenger were not injured.  The Mustang did have a bolt-in roll cage but it was pushed through the floor board as a result of the Mustang landing on the roof.  I bet next time they will weld the roll cage in.

Check out the amazing photos after the jump. … Continue Reading
