- Powdercoat brakes and rollcage different color to match (eg: Lime green, etc)
I prefer black to keep it simple and clean. On brighter bars the sun reflects in a nasty way

The car looks great with the black and yellow, the tint adds to the effect. The stock wheels look nice too. I'd also recommend a black roll bar, mainly to keep the style going.

Looking at bypass and clearbra right off the bat. Then I am looking to sell my seats and get some GT2 Buckets....
I have black too and wound up doing the the expel film on mine and did the entire hood and fenders. you really cant tell that it has been done. most people think any distortions in the clear bra are actually issues with the paint

I know the yellow rollbar may offer reflection, but it would look great against the PCCB's. I have yellow stitching in my leather to match my PCCB's and it really looks great. I think the yellow rollbar would pop out nicely. I would not powder coat the brakes to match a color of rollbar - work with what you have there. It's already great. I have a clearbra on mine that is full hood, fenders, mirrors and lowers around the door sills. I highly recommend that with a black car. Any little scratch will show up on black.

For you guys talking about clear bra, were you able to do the whole entire hood with one piece? My guy says the sheets only come in 48', so there would be cutouts near the top corners. Dont know how I feel about that....

Mine came with 3M and it covers the ENTIRE hood in one piece, no seams!! Covers hood, fenders, light lenses, rear view mirrors and front side of rear fender flares.

Shines and polishes like the rest of the car.

QueenCity - I know this is a stretch, but is there anyway for you to find out how he covered the whole hood in one piece? Any help would be great!

Scott - There is a couple of black ones for sale now. Dont worry about the asking price, as they wont get near anything of what they are asking. You should do it though. Just an amazing car. Cant stop thinking about it. Just unbelievable!

I will take a look at my paperwork that came in the car. It was installed by a 3M dealer in SanDiego where the car came from.

I cant think of the name off hand, but there arent that many 3M guys in SD I wouldnt think. It really was a flawless, 1-piece job!!
