Hey, now there's an idea. With these new color printers, just take

a photo of the car in question,

photoshop it into orthogonal shape, print it out on card stock at the

right size, and glue it onto a

block of wood! Glue on some ends from one of the detail

manufacturers, screw on a coupla trucks,

and you're ready to go!

=========================
Actually it is already being done.

Several modelers are printing the images of car sides onto decal paper
and applying a "car sized" decal instead of painting the car. In a
similar vein people are making brick wall decals and using them.
