Tryptych Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I just got a new shell for my V8. I would love to be able to protect it from scratches somehow (without using the cover that came with the wheel), keeping the LEDs visible. So that got me wondering if anyone has ever tried Clear Vinyl Wrap on their V8 or V10 (or if anyone has ever used it for something similar): https://www.amazon.com/s?k=clear+vinyl+wrap&ref=nb_sb_noss_2 Do you guys think? Would help to prolong the shell's life? Would it be a nightmare to install? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would help to prolong the shell's life? Would it be a nightmare to install? I have done it on my V8. It helped for light scuffs but does not hold up if the wheel falls and slides on the ground. At 10mph jump of, it ripped all the way through and the shell had slight scuffs. I am sure the shell will be worse if it was bare. However, due to it's almost like a one time light use, I've since opted for something else. I use adhesive backed neoprene sheet now as it protects better for both scratches and impact. It is also more comfortable. The disadvantage is I lose the side lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
