The rappers will have the Luis Vuitton, the country folks will have theres in camoflouge! The earthy people can get there fabric made up in pasely patterns and tie die arrangement!

The ricer crowd will use velcro stickers to attach to the fabric!

I don't know about all this talk of it being more affordable even though it seems like it should be cheaper, I can see BMW charging a lot of money for the material and it probably has to be a fairly expensive material to stand up to weather and not tear or stretch etc.

Great concept.
I have seen this one all over the internet, and I keep coming back to the same question.


What if it rips? Or you get keyed?
It is one piece wrapping the whole car.
So how much does a new skin cost? This is BMW after all.

Duh.... you will get a official BMW stich kit package when you purchase the car. They throw in 4 free patches and sewing for dummies book as a gift set. Its after the nerd tech package and the performance package.

yeahh seems like some kind of hi tech composite material, if it can stand up to constant 90-100mph winds then i guess it'd hafta be pretty expensive
