In the next few months I will probably be wrapping the car in either Matte Orange o Matte Black. I'm really digging the matte orange and black look like this BMW. I would probably ditch the current kit and go with something like the Trust kit (no widebody) and have that and the roof be matte black. Hit up the poll and help me validate my choice.

In my opinion. This car can't look bad in any color. But I still would go black.

I'd of course say orange. I've been thinking the Green might look cool too. Personally I think if I was going to wrap, I'd go to a color that the car does not come in, but bottom line you have to pick what ever color is going to make you happy and want to drive.

I think green or orange. I love the green idea. One of the tuners did this and it was sick but with the trust parts I'd say black w orange accents or the other way round. I have confidence! :P everything you've done so far has kicked ass. You gonna sell the five ad pieces?

@zohare - Yes, going to sell the Five AD kit if I go this direction. Because wraps are pricey I want a kit that is attached underneath only so if a panel gets damaged it is less expensive to re-wrap it.

I've also been thinking about integrating dry carbon parts. Anyone know how close of a color match Matte Black vinyl is to Dry Carbon?

I think the Matte Orange with Dry Carbon Hood (partially wrapped), Dry Carbon Roof, and Dry Carbon Spoiler would look killer. Dry Carbon Lip Kit would be awesome if something along the lines of the Trust kit was available

I have to vote matte black.. But that's because I have a thing for the color.. I've even had Matco tools build me a custom box a few years ago and it was done in matte black.. I've done matte and flat every since I seen a wrx in an old import mag back in early 2000.. Super street I think.. It was spray painted.. I've painted my Nissan xterra flat, and have seriously thought of wrapping my FRS matte black.. I'm sure the orange would look great.. But my heart says black.. And someone on here wrapped his car himself, cost 600 instead of 3000.. He never wrapped a car before, but sounds doable if your patient..

I'm pretty confident I can do this myself. The interior pieces were easy.

Matte Black is one of my favorite colors too. It was the flat black FT86 on GT5 that sold me on this car. Handled great in the game and the car in flat black is just effin sexy. It's only been recently that I've started really digging the matte orange after seeing it on a GT-R

It's looking like Matte Orange is favored which is the direction I think I will be going. I'm thinking the Orange with a Dry Carbon DV style hood and Dry Carbon Roof from Seibon would look awesome but my wallet may not appreciate the cost of Dry Carbon

Saw a Lamborghini at the mall and had to take a couple crappy cell phone pics. Cars look about the same size.

Ordered my next set of wheels from @Speed Element on Friday. Can't wait to see these in person. I have been looking at the Advans but a good offset was not available until just the other day and are super limited run so I wasted no time and pulled the trigger. Now I need to figure out the tire situation. Suggestions welcomed.

Wheels are Advan RS II in Satin Black. I will weigh them when I get them but they should be right around 18lbs

Front - 18X8.5 et35
Rear - 18X9.5 et42
