Default Car Raps

I really appreciate all the thoughtful responses to my post yesterday. I have lined up two potential LC's both used, which I'm not a fan of. My question today, has anyone had experience wrapping their 500? My biggest issue with mine is the infrared color. I would probably do something less noticeable. Law enforcement in my community might not get to know me as fast.

I have been driving like a hooligan in my Infrared car for almost 3 years and haven't been pulled over yet.

Honestly, if you like the color, you should just throw some PPF on to protect it. If you don't like the color, I don't know what to tell you.

I have seen a few wrapped ISes around, but I can't think of a wrapped IS 500.

When it comes to the attention of law enforcement, no cares about your car that much. If you don’t like the color, find a highly rated shop in your area. Wrapping an IS isn’t a complicated job.

I've been the "fastest" car on the left lane and suddenly come across a motorcycle cop shooting radar, the lights come on and I see him coming up behind me but instead goes for the gray car that was next to me and going much slower. I thought for sure I was toast in a red car but it didn't go that way. I don't think car color as has much do with being stopped anymore. Nothing wrong with wrapping your car, there are some cool colors out there.
