And while there have been countless individual attempts to make Warthog wraps, this example for the [Cybertruck]() is one of the better looking I've seen, and actually makes [Tesla's]() low-polygon truck look better. The shop that made this wrap is [SS Customs](), out of Redwood City, California and it's surprisingly true to the iconic *Halo* vehicle. OK, so SS Customs actually calls it a "Razorback," the civilian version of the Warthog that is drivable in *Halo Infinite*, like what an H1 is to a military-duty Humvee. However, the wrapped Cybertruck looks more like a Warthog, due to its recognizable green livery. And because Tesla's pickup is highly polygonal by nature, the result is very consistent with original Xbox graphics from 20 years ago. It's almost like a low level-of-detail model spawned in the distance that's especially blocky, before you get closer and all the details fill in. ![]() ![]() ![]() Ironically, not only does this Warthog wrap work perfectly with the Cybertruck's odd proportions, but I'd argue it actually improves the vehicle's looks. Tesla's (or Elon's) vision for the Cybertruck was a sort of brutalist, futuristic vehicle that lacks the curves and body lines of traditional cars. But adding some of these touches back in via a wrap breathes newfound life into the Cybertruck. The stock truck's cold, lifeless design is completely devoid of character, and SS Customs' treatment fixes that to some degree, while complimenting the [existing wheel covers]() surprisingly well. The folks at SS Customs must have been big *Halo* fans back in the day and likely still are, as the detailing is as accurate as I've ever seen on a wrap. The rear vents on the truck's bed rails, the front fender vent, and all of the Warthog's panel seams are present. The blacked-out area where the Warthog's roof cutout is supposed to be looks great, too. If Cybertruck owners open the cover, friends can even climb in the back just like they did in the game. For obvious reasons, it doesn't come with a bed-mounted machine gun, but don't give Elon—the man who sold flamethrowers to Californians during a drought—any ideas. ![]() ![]() If you want to order this wrap, it'll cost you $2,700, and it comes in a variety of different laminate options—satin, gloss, matte, and even sparkle—but that's before having it installed by your local shop. If you own a Cybertruck but want to stand out even more than you already do, this wrap will do the trick while also providing an instant teenage nostalgia bump to any millennials that pass by. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
