    Just turned this one into a 4K YouTube video if you want to see it from every angle (minus the DTOM badge since that was a Rod special request).

    Good looking rig from the outside, too bad the interiors are so bad

    Not the digital but more of the old school jungle camo

    I recently saw a truck driving around in my area that had an orange background with brown trees without leaves. Looked a lot like the Real Tree brand camo case you can get for a I Phone

    I get the desire to individualize one's vehicle, and this pretty cool.

    That said, I look at wraps on the Cybertruck as counterproductive. Added expense with increased maintenance. When that wrap gets scratched or damaged it will carry with it a considerable cost to repair. The Cybertruck has no paint to protect and it's stainless steel is significantly stronger than regular steel or aluminum.

    But...to each his/her own.

    What added maintenance? Once applied, wraps and dips are essentially maintenance free.

    Hardly. It would have to be a huge scratch or tear to even be visible. And if it's a scratch or a tear that needs to be repaired, you just peel off that one panel and re-apply for a fraction of the cost of the original wrapping job. And some wraps are self-healing as well with a heat gun or even hot water.

    Yes, I'm aware of the protective properties of PPF. I have it on my Model 3. It has done a great job protecting the paint. It has taken a bit of a beating over the 2 years since I have had it. In order to return it to it's original condition would mean replacement, which involves a cost, even if you do it yourself. A heat gun will indeed repair minor scratches but that depends on the film and the level of damage has to be very minor to have a positive effect.

    Don't get me wrong, PPF is a great product and I would do it again if I weren't getting a stainless steel behemoth like the Cybertruck.

    Maybe you'd want more than a bigger scratch on the wrap for a bit of a hybrid terminator look? I guess you'd have to imagine that Arnie would have jungle painted his skin for a camo look then he got into a bit of a fight :mad:

    Imagine a mech warrior where the decal got scratched off during combat maybe?

    Nice render. It will be much harder to find the inevitable body panel gaps and misaligned doors :D

    Can you do one in Kryptek Typhon?

    Duuuuude! That's so cool!

    I was wondering what the Cybertruck would look like if it was wrapped in CADPAT (for us Canadians).

    Can anyone render up one? Idk how to do it..
