I totally would have got yellow if it had been offered. Best color on I have seen this car in IMO.

A yellow twin would be sweet!
How much did it cost when you looked into shaving it? I don't like the shark fin look at all.

100 - 200/300 all labor. The 100$ shop was not concerned of the blue nor the possibility of a bump there vs the 200/300$ shop was VERY concerned with the blue and was concerned they may not get a completely flat surface. I have one more shop to visit but they are relocating to a bigger outfit, once they reopen, I'll ask them. They've done my other car with satisfaction.

ehh, just paint your car in GT5 and enjoy the look virtually. I know this is orange not yellow but you get the idea...




Before I bought my car I actually spent a lot of time visualizing my color choices in GT5... WRB vs. SWP.

Haha I did the same thing and is part of the reason I went with SWP. Also drove Laguna Seca on Gt5 everyday that I was waiting for my car to be delivered.

Hopefully I'll get my car to this someday:

I also wanted to wrap the car yellow, but didnt do it coz it'll stick out more. Brighter color + attention = possible traffic ticket.

Th nur spec is taller, basically roof level I think. I think it is a big difference personally

Yeah, close but not quite. The nur spec looks taller and more stylized I think.

The NUR spec doesnt look that bad, but if it were a bit lower it'd look better IMO.
