Wrap Opinions
Hey guys, I am having a hard time choosing which wrap I should go with for my FRS. I love the color purple so I have narrowed it down to 2 options. I like how unique the camo is, but I haven't seen any FRS/BRZ/GT86 wrapped in camo, so i'm not sure how it would look.
The second color is Arlon Amethyst Purple. Please be blunt. I can take it. |

Here's one in Nissan Skyline Midnight Purple. I very much like the darker color than either of the bright colors you're considering.
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=89321 I would do the camo purple if I was doing something like Gumball Rally or One Lap of America, but it would come off once the event was completed. |

If you're not in the military the "camo" will get you laughed at. If you are in the military the "camo" will get you laughed at.
Probably best to go with a solid color. |

Make sure to order samples before you place your main order. Order MANY samples (different shades and finishes (glossy, satin, flat, etc). Metrorestyling sells them for about a buck a pop and seeing the color/prints in person makes a big difference.

Clean is classy.
Camo is crazy. If your car is highly modified, camo can* look good. But on a stock car it looks cheesy. Camo also camos the body lines. If you want to stand out and get too much attention... get camo. I say go with the purp. http://wrapfolio.com/arlon-amethyst-brz-wrap/ |

I have been leaning towards the amethyst purple for a while now. I just wanted to hear your guys' input on the camo. A few "non-car friends" showed me the camo, and I figured I would see your opinions.

I like matte black, but then again I've never seen one in person. I did have matte on my bike, but it wasn't wrap.

I currently have my frs dipped matte purple, but it's peeling, so it's gotta go. I would like to go with a gloss purple this time around to change things up a bit. Which is why I've been leaning towards the amethyst. I like being different. There's not many gloss purple cars on the road.

If I gonna do purple, I gonna do Plasma Blue Pearl. It said "Blue" in the name, but it's freaking purple and sweet purple.
...but out of those 2, I'll go camo to be crazy/different. You had matte black, why not try something crazy/different this time around. |

This is probably the most valuable post in the thread lol.
Looks so busy ... you lose all the beauty of the car lines. Definitely go solid. |
