M stripes on a battery car? That's a No-No.
Nice wrap though. I like it.

I live in Atlanta. We're lucky to get 1 snow a year.
Hey, apparently we're in a snow storm warning. 2-4 inches tonight (Friday). I'm up in Alpharetta.

Ive been hoping for the 1 snow of the year so I can take some pics.

Hopefully it'll stick and I can take some good ones....

Be safe bro!

I don't have an exact cost. My buddy here in Atlanta area does car customization and we experiment different designs.

This is my second wrap in 4 months, and will change it again once the spring time comes. The total labor hours of doing this piece by piece was about 30 hours, so I can't imagine it would be cheap if you had to pay a shop to do it....

I don't normally like wraps but that is pretty good!!

Reminds me a bit of White Star's Olympic in wartime "dazzle" camouflage!
