I have seen a lot sports and super cars wrapped in Europe in track events I attend...

It's a very fun good looking mod! Especially for a track car...

I think it's best to start with a dark color so the difference is subtle when you open the door or trunk...

The basic colors look the best, you can't say the difference (usually it is the mirrors and door handles which gives it a way, they might be a bit problematic to detail 100%)....so I recommend going with:

- bright colors like orange, green, blue

- black, matt black (very popular, as well as different matt colors) or carbon fibre foil

- white

In Germany this costs a bit over 1000 EUR... Go for it if you like a change

Local person who wraps large trucks for a living told me that no matter what people tell you, on those units, there is a change in the underlying paint...fade or the adhesive with the clear coat. He could not be more specific, but he said it did change the color and be careful. Big US 18 wheeler tractor and trailers is his world....

Just an FYI.

Last930 is infamous around these parts
I'd say save the $$ for a paint job and don't worry about the stone chips, etc. It's going to be an awfully long time before these car appreciate; I view my '04 as a consumable item.
