FR-S Wrapped with yellow and Five Axis body Kit

What do you guys think? Could someone achieve this color look with a Wrap?


What do you guys think with this color, and either an un-painted or wrapped in the same color or maybe even black with an five axis body kit?

I doubt you could wrap it and have it look like that. Get some yellow plasti-dip or something if you wanna give it a try.

why not? Not like I'd do it, I bought the color I wanted... but it's not like plasti-dip is going to ruin anything. you just peel it off when you are sick of it.

wrap jobs are much harder than plasti dip but imo wrap will look better up close. unless you are a pro, most likely your dip will have texture to it and you cant get the shine of a good vinyl even with the glossifier (from dipyourcar youtube)

My honest opinion? get it professionally painted. Yellow is too awesome of a color on this car to change it to anything else down the line.

I don't have the five axis kit, but I DO have a yellow wrapped FRS. I'm still getting some bits finished up, but it's 90% done.

The op pic looks like the same yellow my rs 7 2012 tc was. A true full paint job is the only way to get that exact color and it will be $$$ to get it done properly meaning door jams engine bay ect.

Agreed, a proper paint job (not a $600 maaco special) takes time and money.
My wrap guy is charging $2400 for each full FRS wrap in non-textured vinyls. That includes inside the door jams and all the exterior panels. Obviously, the underside of the trunk and hood are not going to be wrapped, but I have other plans for my hood (heat reflective tape).

They can, its just a matter of finding a vinyl guy willing to do it. The FRS door jams are super easy to wrap too, since most everything in the way can be easily removed (door seals, trim/kick panels).

The dude who plastidipped his car is on this facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/152742868183430/

He did it himself and posted progress pictures. Looks like it turned out pretty well.
