Default Thinking about a wrap for the car....

But I don't know which color to go with....
What do you guys like? I did these fast so no making fun of the photoshop skills, or lack thereof.

This is like Atomic Orange from the C6's

Kinda going for Torch Red from the C5's

This is the same red but with my stock chrome wheels and grills

I usually HATE red but the red/black looks pretty good, red and chrome looks crappy to me.

BTW the orange looks too exotic to go on the boxy style of the V imo.

I would stay away from the wrap if your doing one color. The wrap will fade and look like crap in 2 years and it almost costs just as much as a really good paint job

Don't know many paint jobs, especially color changes, that cost around 1200 bucks. It has a 3 year warranty on it too.

I didn't know you could do wraps that were shiny colors. Mostly I just see people go with matte black. Though maybe they do colors and I just figured it was painted?

check on the warranty it most likely wont cover any flat areas of the car (roof, hood, trunk) and a good paint job with no body work needed should only cost 3,000 having them de-trim the car for you.

What about White Diamond pearl like on the V2's? That would look sick with those chrome rims or even powder coated black!

I'm thinking matte white is another option.

They're charging 1500 for a matte black, white, or silver. But I got them to do a group buy and knock off 400 bucks a car if we get 4 cars to commit.

I'd do mine in a deep dark perl gray. Darker than the Thunder gray. I think color that would look awesome with chrome or black rims/grills/etc.
