All right, false panels, or the complete cloth covers that hide everything except the glass and lights, I get.

The stuff like this, though:

not so much. :mellow: I mean, it doesn't **not** look like the car it's supposed to be, so I don't quite understand why they bother with it.

without a proper camera those vinyl wraps end up making the car look blurry.

That and it makes it very hard to discern the body lines.

That's what this wrap is supposed to do, so it works!

I guess that makes a certain amount of sense.

Just that most phones today come with decent cameras, let alone what a professional photog would be carrying.

You'd have to have a REALLY sh!tty camera (or not know how to use the one you have) to take blurry pics, nowadays. :P

it screws with the auto focus so if you haven't accounted for that you'll end up with blurry pics. it's basically to keep random street people from being able to grab a quick photo that will actually show the cars details well.
