The reason why the tittle says the Blue Squirrel. Started my color Change (Vinyl Wrap)

The Vinyl is: 3M Matte Blue Metallic

cool. you can change your car color anytime you want!
talk about a great getaway car!!!

lol, ill wrap it 3 different times so when im in trouble I can peel off one layer at a time. :)

Awesome color. Curious how your going to handle the roof and B pillars? Any idea where your going to piece it together?

-Austin

car is going 2 tone, the top (down to the windows) will be matte black.

I like the 2 tone!

Pilot Bearing and Dust deal came in today, time to install the clutch/flywheel. I have a certified scale and was wondering what exactly the weight savings was so here they are.
