Default BMW owner tapes black car to white

So who knows how much this costs, and who is going to do it first?

That's actually pretty cool. A great alternative to paint jobs.

That's awesome. I'd love to see that in person. If it's cheaper than paint and preserves your paint underneath, I'd love to do this to a new car, drive it for a few years, then peel... brand new paint.

it's like clear bra'ing your whole car! i'm sure it's shinier in real life.. it's just like a lot of the images put on delivery vans, etc. police cars

Not saying it's good or bad, but vinyl doesn't look the same as paint -- it's more of a rubbery semi-gloss finish. You'd never mistake a car wrapped in white vinyl for a car painted white from five feet away.

Costs are in the thousands. I had it priced out previously.

And that pretty much destroys any potential awesomeness IMHO.
