While it is relatively easy to make a pickup cool with all the aftermarket parts available, they look even sicker when wrapped in vinyl!
In America, the efficient transportation of people and goods is what binds everyone together. When the first pickup, the Ford Model T, was introduced it was a revolution in how Americans lived. Maximum loads went up to thousands pounds. Pickups were a big deal back then, and they are a big deal now. Take a trip across the US and look at how many Silverados, Rams and F-150s are there. The first tool many small businesses rely on is a pickup truck.
Because trucks are so important for the economy, they are a protected class of vehicles. Even though emissions regulations stiffened in the 70s, trucks were held to laxer standards. Today, all consumer pickup trucks are family-friendly vehicles. Whatever advantages other cars once had over pickups had been obliterated. America has adopted the truck as the standard tool of commerce. Here are 15 pickup trucks in sick car wraps.
The tuning crew took the Colorado Extended Cab in a standard Patriotic Blue color and created this custom wrap. The design features Old Glory with a rugged texture. The hood got a Texas flag that blends in perfectly. The design incorporates perforated vinyl on the windows and print vinyl on the sides.

Seen here is the ultra green and incredibly glowing 2017 Chevy Silverado. The car received the sickest-looking fluorescent wrap and lots of custom parts.
