Yea, from what I'm seeing it's prohibitive from a cost standpoint (at least for me), but it is doable. I am going with some graphics and will go from there. It's gonna be the first-ever S-Works Sirrus X!!!!! 😬 😆

Aliexpress special. $18 for 2 carbon cages. 44g off the bike. Not too shabby.

I once sold some bike stuff to a guy on FB marketplace and when he showed up, he was wearing a tshirt advertising automotive wraps and installation. Curiously, I asked him about wrapping a bike and he said he has tried it but its even moreso challenging to get it looking nice from his perspective as an installer. He explained that unlike a car where there's large, smooth panels with gaps to tuck the edges under, on a bike its a large, continuous space-frame that will have to have a lot of stretching and seams and will never look as nice (assuming he was talking carbon monocoque). If it was an old steel bike with crisp angles and, you could hide some of your seams there i suppose.

I’ve ‘wrapped’ all my MTBs as I’m prone to the occasional crash(only when I actually ride though), besides the easy to wrap steel round tubed frames where heli tape works just fine, any other carbon or aluminium fancy formed frame is a nightmare and I ended up using pre-cut specific kits from invisiframe and ride wrap. Given the amount pieces they have to come up just to cover the frames I believe that wrapping purely for aesthetics could prove challenging but I would be more than happy to be proven wrong.
