Hello All, I am thinking about vinyl wrapping my Model X and was curious whether anyone has had issues with the sensors after wrapping. The shop assured me that it won’t, but it just seems like it could have an impact being that you’re basically putting a vinyl sheet over the sensors.

Only time tat you run into an issue with sensors is the radar/emergency braking sensor behind the front bumper. Chrome vinyl blocks the signal, so any colored chrome or laminated chrome material. Normal vinyl is fine for the parking sensors and radar sensors
