Photo: The Affordable Company Hotrod

May 6, 2012 By Naseem Muaddi

In the past, we’ve written about the benefits of owning a company show car. But not every auto upholstery shop can afford to invest the time, money and energy needed to get one up to car show standards. One company found a way around this problem – and it’s pretty ingenious.

Instead of spending thousands of dollars on a hotrod, Sodablast simply had a graphic of one placed along the side of an unassuming black van. Granted, you can’t show off the interior work – but it’s still eye catching.

    Ive got a car that I have been working on for a couple years. I just recently started in on the interior Mainly for practice but its amazing how well it works for advertising at cruises and car shows.

    If I put my favorite car on the side of my truck, I’d have one looooong Vdub.

    vehicle wraps are a good way to get advertisement. Yes a company show car is a good way to advertise however everyone has a different like of upholstery. Clever job, well done with the hotrod on the side of the van.
