Do wraps help sled resale?

[deaner]

Bought a sled with a pretty nice wrap on it. Im not a huge fan of them, but I know some people are. Took out a side panel on my last ride so now have to decide whether to pay $90 for new stickers for a side panel (which I think is ridiculous) or strip the rest of the wrap off. If I go that route is it a nightmare or not too bad?

In my opinion wraps hurt resale. Basically, add it you want to be different, but the $$ are gone.

i did same thing, trashed a side panel so i replaced it and couldn't get ecd to match the wrap i needed so i peeled everything off. If i could have got my side panel sticker for 90 bones....i would of. stock sucks

Depends on the adhesive the company uses but generally its a nightmare lol. a litttle heat while pealing and you might get lucky, otherwise its a couple cans of break cleaner and lots of scrubbing. Sleds with Factory decals always hold value the best, unless its a fairly clean wrap your limiting your resale audience for sure.

that helps, But i think if you plaster it with everyone's logos that gave you 5% off is a better route.

Probably help resale exponentially

Wraps are only cool if you leave the parking lot at 8250rpm

That's the one thing I don't like about the wrap. There's a persona that I feel I have to live up to when I'm on the sled and it's getting exhausting. Thumb is getting a lot of wear and tear from the constant unnecessary throttle chopping too

Scs unlimited actually has nice side panel kits to replace the stock decals. Not a wrap.
They actually have pretty decent options.

And they are much more reasonable to work with in my experience. I had to get replacement pieces for the side panels on ferniesnows old sled and I think it was like $30

Wraps are a personal flavour, but they can add about 5-10hp depending on the manufacturer. But that is moot at altitude unless your sled already has a turbo.

Never seen any panties drop at the sight of a stock sled....

Wraps are an awesome way to keep your sled in “Like New” condition for resale (assuming you remove it).
They are typically made of aggressive adhesive because plastics are hard to adhere to.
Maxwell is correct...heat gun is imperative to removing with less adhesive left behind.

Wraps are normally a “LOOK AT ME” option very much related to the owners personality. So the value is only there if you buy that used sled and it makes you feel good.

17yrs in the graphic industry (not now) has shown me this.

Same same....most wraps remind me of the old Vomit Glossary T shirts. Anyone remember them?

 

[neilsleder]

If I was buying sled and seen one with a wrap that’s a thousand different colours I would skip past it unless it was way cheaper.

 

[HotShotHarry]

Well, if you wrap your Doo to look like a Poo.....You could probably get more ... lol

 

[JungleJim]

Sure like the Factory replacement decals as an option to make your sled look a little different, yet not end up looking like a Rooster and Parrot combined in a blender...

I like 100% of the wraps 60% of the time.
