Default carbon fiber wrapped 2000 t/a?

Hey guys just wondering what everyone thinks. Next weekend Im having my entire 2000 T/A wrapped in carbon fiber. I havent seen any like that and wanted something alittle different. Not sure what to do with the chrome Z06 wheels either leave them alone or have them powdercoated somethig darker. What do you guys think? thanks jeff

Do you have a sample of the carbon fiber, many varieties out there for it.

Thanks for the input guys and yeah he has his work cut out but he's a buddy of mine that wraps cars for a living and he's doing it for free the only thing I have in it is the cost of the wrap $620.00. There's no way I can get it painted that cheap. thanks jeff

Di noc isn't my favorite vinyl wrap but if I were in your shoes I would exactly copy that car's style.

that means...
- tinted side markers
- satin or gloss black powdercoated wheels (no chrome lip)
= w/ matching powdercoated corsa clone tips
- black painted hood grill
- leave DRLs clear
- blacked out tails w/ silver reflective filler panel decals
- matching silver reflective front license plate cover decal
- custom stainless steel badges
- rear CETA diffuser too
