Thomas Baekdal designed wraps to decorate the super compact 2009 [Toyota](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toyota-aygo-x-undercover) [IQ](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-dash-cam), as shown in this gallery. The auto wraps basically consist of vinyl graphics that are stuck to the 118 inch long car like stickers.

The purpose of the [designer wraps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-car-couture) is to provide the ability to constantly change the car's look. Instead of selling the car when you're bored with its appearance, you can simply upgrade the design yourself.

**Implications** - Companies need not overlook the importance of providing consumers with the ability to customize a product. Shoppers will appreciate the sense of variety that comes with customizing merchandise.
