Shadow Wraps Daytona

The Centerfold - by Shadow Graphics

Crazy Design Scheme:

Shadow Graphix partnered with HRC to make their vision come to life. The show car features a spider graphic, a chrome patterned design with Neon Fluorescent Orange accents. For the spider, we took their 2D and 3D imaging and laid everything out on screen along with hand temple plating and digitizing key parts of the car to make the spider pattern fit the central part of the car.

We worked with our installers to get the best matching layup for the base wrap.

The Shadow and HRC had several video calls and messages throughout the process as both teams worked through the design and installation process.

Car Background:

The Acura Show Car made its grand appearance at the Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 27-28 and will mark the inaugural race.

Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) HRC US oversees the Acura program in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, which has seen the brand take the overall win in the last three Rolex 24 At Daytona races and collect three manufacturer, team and driver championships in the series’ top prototype class since 2018.

The Shadow Graphix team has worked with the Wayne Taylor Racing (WTR) since 2010. WTR Campaigns the Acura ARX-06 in the IMSA Sportscar Series. As part of a rebrand for the 2024 season, we combined to do the show car in-house as well as rebranding the WTR program for the 2024 race season and specifically having this show car done for the 2024 24 Hours of Daytona
