I had a friend help me.We used to do car wraps.
As for the removal, depends on the brand of wrap but most wouldn't be too hard to remove after a few days.

Keep in mind you will need flat black vinyl wrap for the rear glass trim. My chrome door trim didn’t survive the removal.
Ya. I’m curious if there is a specific brand/colour that matches best.

I went to a wrap shop and I ended up with 3m I believe. When in doubt, take the trim to the shop and match it with swatches

Bought some Enkei ST6 winter wheels this morning (yay for a round trip to Edmonton), and debating if I run them as summers or winters. Thoughts?
I do need to find better centre caps, factory ones are a bit too bling for the gunmetal.

Early winter update, pedestrian looking eom size winter tires are back, sprayed lanolin based undercoating wherever I could, and fingers are crossed my new oem windshield isn’t destroyed by Christmas.
An EXCEEDINGLY rare opportunity came up today. Driving in town I see another Costa Azul LX, naturally I pull in and grabbed some photos of the reunion. Those following the thread might remember that only 9 made it to Canada in this colour. I wish I could say it was all joy, but this one hasn’t had quite the same upkeep as mine, it has some rust poking through, faded lights and a rear end collision that was never tended too. It’s like seeing a litter mate of your pet dog, and realizing the owners of the other dog have let it get out of shape.
I will be taking the LX for a well deserved bath to get the road salt later today.

anyone knows of good wrap shops near Montreal? I will be there towards end of December and thinking of getting wrapping/body touchup done. I tried contacting a couple of online leads but nobody responded back so far.
are you ever gonna take those tint off those tails?
No advice for ya, but odd similar experience
I looked into having a stupid project truck I was working on last year wrapped and reached out to SIX of the main wrap company’s here in San Diego (there’s a ton of them here) via email and phone
Not a single one ever got back to me
Looking to retrofit them to that white 250 my friend saw in your driveway?
alternative facts are always alternative
There's a blue early model in Altadore that I see all the time, and at least a few more in Calgary that I've come across. Ive also seen several in West Vancouver and Kelowna. I would hazard a guess that there are more than 9 in Canada.

Piecing together 2011 tails, it stays until I get them
I have a friend who works at Toyota Canada who did a search based on deliveries, 6 of the 9 can to Alberta according to his records so less surprising they are seen more often out here. I’m just going with the data he has available .
I like the colour, one way or another

Summer wheels are on, Enkei ST6’s in 20x9.5 (et. 30). They required a bit more fender liner shaping (295 55r20 Toyo open country w/ sensor lift) and I pulled off the bora 1” spacers as the offset was much closer to ideal for scrub radius. They are heavy, but I like the look so far. Centre caps are some OEM units I bought from Japan, the fronts required removal of 1/8” of material on the clips.
