Default Adverstising Wraps

Anyone ever do this? Seeing as I drive 150 miles a day through North SD and Orange County, I figured the ISF would make an attractive car to the right advertisers, and I could get most of the thing paid for in ad fees.

Would I wrap my car in an ad for a few years in order to get a mostly free ISF?

Yup.

Ummm if you need to wrap your car in advertisements to afford it then id say get something more affordable lol

i wouldnt wrap my car in ads that would look so tacky and cheap how would that be fun to drive around.... here is my lexus wrapped in some gay design promoting some lame product.

i dont think a wrapped isf would stand out anyways most normal drivers just think it is a lexus IS.... not like your talking about a lambo or anything.

It's your car so do as you please, but I would have to agree with Murph. Put it on a different car but not the Lexus.

Think I'd pass on Dills-R-Us if they wanted to wrap my car, but if Red Bull or Monster wanted to, could be cool. Although, and E.D. wrapped car would be pretty funny. Though would that be better on a gas truck? Or a Submarine?

I have a partial wrap on my lifted tundra but the wrap is for My Company. Its not a boring wrap, we did a sort of Monster Energy look on the wrap. That said the truck gets lots of attention, its a great conversation starter but I would never consider an ad wrap for my ISF.

I have never looked into leasing your cars ad space to an outside company. If the income from the wrap is worth it you should buy a little Scion or Cube, take the additional revenue and apply it to parts for your F. Then your F can sit at home for you all week while you beat up the econo box and when you are ready to drive something serious it should always be clean and you will respect the F that much more. Just a thought.

this guy has it down.... Buy a daily driver, make the money, pay for the pretty much free car to daily drive + some side cash if its that much. I would do it in a heartbeat if offered enough.

I did about a whole 5 minutes of looking into on the net. Some places say you can get up to $500.00 a month. It's just a thought presently.

I figure if I can make money doing something I am going to do anyway, that to me makes sense. I have seen some pretty nicely wrapped cars, and if would have to be something pretty cool to get me to go for it.

Would a "Ted's Plumbing Supply" wrapped ISF be lame, sure. But a "Royal Purple" or "Silkolene" wrapped ISF might not be so bad. If I could get a gun company like Kimber or Colt to buy the idea, that would be cool too. Perhaps maybe even a "Patron" ISF, who knows.

SpmMorrow's econo box idea is fantastic.

^ lol yea i guess as long as it is a "cool" company and a cool looking wrap it might make sense!

I seen a guy with a lambo merci wrapped in all Tekken (video game) at car shows for a whole year now he doesnt have the wrap anymore so I am assuming he must have got paid ok to want to wrap a lambo for a year.

i personally didnt like it but hey its still a lambo haha
