For a country that still gets it's meats from a corner butcher the Slov's have really stepped up their video rendering skills. Lolz!

These guys must be in Brno, Praha is too touristy to do this. I think it looks good, strangely.

I have to say I actually like it...want it, NO, but I like it. Reminds me of the West Coast Custom's Tron Audi R8 (although that was a true paint job)!

no, it will not catch on here and the current "matte vinyl" craze is just a fad that needs to die.

I think the biggest market for chrome vinyl wrap would be in Dubai...
