Hey, so if you are on a fixed income you may have some time on your hands.... Learn to do vinyl wrap....seriously, almost nothing needed except a good set of hands, and maybe $100 of supplies at most plus the wrap. It takes some time to learn but you probably have that. There are some cheaper vinyls to learn with, and hey, don't like it, peel it back off.

That may be a plan, thanks.

Yeah, try it..... start with simple things like mirrors, trim, gas cap door, then you can move into hoods, rear deck, etc. I use vinyl as trim accents on my car builds. I you start with smaller items it's really not hard to progress to larger stuff... Most of the guys that get good at it are self starters and then pickup training/workshops from the vinyl manufacturers.... The nose trim on my Sebring was all carbon fiber look vinyl along with several other areas....It acted like a nose shield against bugs so I changed it out every 3 to 4 years....
