I even left and went to Subaru to see if they'd match/beat it for a white BRZ Limited that was arriving really soon, but they couldn't. So back to Earnhardt Toyota and now I have my precious push to start and auto-climate back from previous cars. I'll probably turn off the blue flashy bits, I don't know it doesn't bug me too much so we'll see. The Silver Ignition is light enough to where I don't miss the whiteout too much. I've never been a fan of silver but this is more of a solid concrete "Derek Zoolander Blue Steel" look. I'll take some pics later, answer any questions, etc. I'm already liking the new stereo a lot better, has actual voice command stuff and the touch screen is pretty responsive. And the headlights.... yesssssss.

Truth is I'm kind of glad Subaru couldn't match it. I wasn't looking forward to giving up the aggressive front grille for the Ned Flanders grille, and I like the piston badges on the sides.

congrats!

I'm in whenever. Now that I don't have to worry about shit AC / 50 whp or breaking something, the drive up / back is a bit more enjoyable, lol.

EDIT: And cruise control! How I LOVE cruise control!

I think it's trying too hard. Vinyl wraps aren't cheap - that money is best spent elsewhere, IMO. If your car were 20 years old with shit paint, I think vinyl may be a viable option in lieu of paint... but on a brand new car, eh.

Do what makes you happy. Personally i prefer to spend a few grand into parts that make my car feel more fun to drive rather than look more fun. But everyone enjoys working on their cars in different ways. With a style like that i would recommend vinyl though because if you ever sell the car you wont be able to sell it easily with a camo paint job. And lets be realistic, how many cars have you bought brand new that you own 10 years later? lol

I wouldn't do it to my own DD maybe a project car of some sort but I was just throwing something in the forum to discuss.... I think it looks cool in it's own little way and thing if someone did it right, it would look real good on our cars

Another thought on vinyl wrapping. Pitting it on a new car is very smart as the vinyl protects the paint and when it gets oulled off in a few years theres brand new paint underneath..... Just sayin

I wouldn't have thought I would like camo but it looks good on that BMW. Those cars look good with real paint jobs as well. I agree with the others that I probably wouldn't do it to my brand new car.

Would look bad ass. I would do digital urban camo though.

These guys sell it

http://www.metrorestyling.com/Digita...yl-s/10064.htm

Smart wraps in town has plotters that can print any design onto the vinyl too.

And here are some interedting ones I found googling.

I like the yellow and blue
