Metallic satin blue wrap on FRS

Hey guys,

I am planning to wrap my whiteout FRS in Metallic satin blue (picture below).

None of the stock colors from Toyota offered what I really want. The BRZ blue-pearl came closest but I strongly prefer Toyota over Subaru for various reasons.

Planning to wrap everything once I get the TRD body kit, spoiler and shark-fin antenna plus 18" matte-black Enkei rims matched with yellow Brembo calipers.

What do you guys think? Trying to imagine how it'd look like, will it be a little overkill?

you will definitely turn heads with that gorgeous shade of metallic blue! But then again...I'm a sucker for all shades of blue (my fav color btw). I don't think it's overkill. It'll definitely stand out in HK traffic if you like the attention. It's your car, do what you want!

I would go for a more matte look. Getting the matte look would be the reason I would wrap.

It's a little bit blinding for my tastes. How 'bout some Porsche Mexico Blue:

THIS. Love this blue and it would look great on a twin. I'm actually considering a full repaint in another year or so (the front of my car looks like it's been sprayed with gravel)....so either way it's going to need more than just touch up paint soon.
