Looks like the chameleon plastidip because the Optima emblem is also painted and I highly doubt someone would wrap that, go check out dipyourcar on YouTube they do all sorts of things.

Looks like crap and very tacky...

I wish people didn't do such terrible things to their car. I care only because I have to see these ugly eye sores!

9 tmies out of 10 it doesn't look good but I have seen one or two in person that you cannot tell if it is vinyl or not. Very rare but possible.
