Decisions decisions!?

Hey wsup everybody!! Recently a local vendor in my area put a "Vinyl wrapping" deal for a very good price and was debating on whether or not I should do it. If any of you have any pros/cons of wrapping a car please let me know as i'm going to decide on whether or not to do this very shortly. I will probably keep the wrap for a couple years then take it off to get the whole car re-sprayed the OEM rally red again. The choices I have are under the "glossy" and "matte" category, all other colors are double the price No "crazy" colors please The other option is just to get the front end of my car re-painted, because I just bought a new bumper/fenders and the two different reds don't match up which is why i'm doing this btw. It's either just re-spray the front to match the rest of the car, or matte the whole thing, so give me your opinions people

Forgot to Mention: I also track my car 8-12 times a year, so matte/glossy white might be out of the picture due to all the rubber marks it will have after each event If anyone can photoshop my car a few colors that would be AWESOME

No crazy colors like yellow, orange, etc.....

Vinyl wrap color choices:

Decision made in post #12

My car currently looks like this somewhat

I wouldn't mind seeing it in sky blue if it was a matte film.

Matte white always looks nice and it actually cleans up really well after track days.
Military green would be great...

I believe those are just Stock Sides with the Rexspeed add on kit

Go with a silver, grayish color. The color will look sinister on track with those NT03. Plus rocks chips and grime is less pronounced on the front. GL

If I were to get a deal on a full vinyl wrap, I would go crazy lol. I would do the white carbon or something. Something completely off the wall that hasnt been done before.

Matte white or matte light blue would be cool.

Either way... Nice car!

Are you keeping the color you're painting the car on the down low or did you just forget to include it(or maybe you're just staying the stock color). Either way I'm in to see the outcome. Good luck!!!
