Tough choice

Hello everyone

So i have a full gt2rs body kit on my car.The car is black,but i think the best color for a gt2rs car is red.So i want to vinyl wrap my car but the problem is interior color is terracota.

So what do you guys think of a red-terracota car ? Will it look bad or ok ?

honestly i would leave the car black, im not into red cars... red is for ferraris and lambos.

if anything wrap it in white, far best color for any porsche.

Stay black! Don't mess with perfection. It's your car, so do what you want, but I am not really a fan of red, and I love black.

Just wrap it 360 deg. in clear urethane film to protect the car. Keep it black...

That blue looks pretty good. I have never seen a fully wrapped car before. Does it look like a regular painted car? Are they able to get into all the little spaces and around all the corners? How do the edges behave? Do they peel or start to look ragged? How long are they expected to last? Didn't mean to hijack your thread but just wondering since that is what you are wanting to do.

I think it depends on who wraps the car. I've seen one that looked pretty wicked on a Cayman S. I also saw one that pretty much looked like the whole car had been plastidipped. As far as how the edges wear, who knows? But, the edges were finished quite nicely. To add to above, the blue is good.. (and any insight into your experience with car wrapping would be great!)
