I am not sure if you guys are entirely right here. In the GB the guy charged $285 per kit. Right now he is charging $365 for the kit...probably with shipping additional.

Then you get one of the companies that does vinyl overlays for vehicles such as these guys.

http://www.artandsigns.com/index.html

Found them by typing in "advertising vehicles" in yahoo local. You can probably also drive around town and keep your eye out for other cars that have full vinyl overlays and call whatever company is advertised on them to see who they used. Actually, I once read an article where people are letting ad agencies use their cars as roaming billboards by doing this...so sometimes the drivers don't even work for whatever company is advertised.

Finding all this took me like a few minutes on yahoo and nabisco.

Hmm, dont know about that second pic. Looks kinda brownish. I think that'd work for bits of the car, not the entire car.

*And I'd like to add: that front bumper is hideous, and they ruined the R8 by putting it on!
