That is one sexy car! If you need to wrap, I'd suggest a unique color like someone had said like one that the car does not come in from factory, but choose whatever will make you happy, it's your car and your money!
Keep up the good work and keep posting us awesome pictures! |

The more and more I think about it the more I wonder if the flat orange will grow tiresome. It is vinyl so a change up is pretty easy but I would like to get at least 3 years with the wrap.

Kev I miss your car man. Can't wait to see your rims. Doing any public appearances anytime soon?
 As for the color, flat orange would be nice, because it's unique and stands out; but black is so menacing. |

@indesign - I am hoping to be moved into our new house before this weekend. If time allows I will be at the meet up this weekend. Wheels are shipping tomorrow so that's iffy on whether I'll get them by the weekend or not. I'm super excited to see them. I've never had high end or original wheels, always cheaper knock offs. I'm going to be dropping at least 12lbs per corner from the 19" set up I'm currently running!

I see. Moving in this weather has got to suck. You moving to the east side or west side of town? I don't have the funds for high end wheels, so I'll probably end up getting a cheapo brand or some Enkei wheels.
I like those 5AD wheels you're replacing, but I'm only looking to pickup 17s. |

Just ordered the rubber for the new wheels. Michelin Pilot Super Sports 225/40/18 Front and 255/35/18 for the rear. My new house is only .25 miles from work so soft sticky tires should be just fine.

@Got3n - I have coilovers so there will be no issue. They are also +35 so they push away from the suspension and towards the fender vs the 8.5" +45's I currently run. I will have an additional 10mm of inner clearance with this setup.
