I’ve been toying with the idea of vinyl wrapping the exposed aluminum floor on my S240 w/ satin black vinyl, with a logo cutout of it that will still allow you to see the aluminum underneath… The vinyl will still allow the TEXTURE of the aluminum to be seen… I think it looks pretty cool, just a quick _photoshop_… What do you guys think? It’s totally reversable, and cheap… BEFORE: ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/NOFLOORVINYL.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/NOFLOORVINYL.jpg) AFTER ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/FLOORVINYL.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/FLOORVINYL.jpg) ---
