Gonna wrap the dash trim in flat black or dry carbon. That's it. If anyone in the LA area wants to get wrap done I know a guy that does freaking amazing work. He's going to be doing my clear bar an tint the day I get the car.

cool on the falken cars since they are race cars and it's not the whole car that's that color, along with other graphics like sponsor decals... race cars are SUPPOSED to look wild and flashy [for obvious reasons]...

as an everyday car, it will most likely look weird/nasty if the whole car was monotone with that green hue... you at least need a cf hood/roof/trunk to offset the greentastic look, imo...

So considering I wrap my car, what color should i get the car originally in? As in which color would be the easiest to sell/ (In general). From experience, white and silver usually are the easiest, not sure about black, people complain about cleaning black cars

Isn't that crazy hard to sell? Look at all the color polls that have been done on this forum. You will see there are people that like all of the colors. I just wouldn't pick any poloarizing colors (this car doesn't really have that problem).

I think it will depend on the color you plan to wrap the car in. I was reading on a car wrap web site the other day, where they recommended not picking certain color wraps that might allow for the true car color to show through. Like white wrap on a red car. Again, something I read, as I know little about car wrapping, but it made sense. Maybe others who have experience could comment.
