Thinking of wrapping Turbo S

Thinking of full car wrap in Matte Black...what are your thoughts? While I like the white and all, damn all that black stuff you can see so easily on the car. Plus I'm thinking the Red interior will "pop" with the Matte Black exterior

You'll hate that finish before you hate the color choice. Go for an orange or the lime green if you're gonna go for something unexpected.

Dark color wrap over white? You better have a very good installer. Keep it white and get a detailer to show up every week.

Ok, will leave it white and take Al's advice. I hardly drive the car actually. It's been too hot to have top down.

Do whatever makes you happy since you have to drive it and look at it the most. Well at least until you sell it to someone else Have you seen the matte white SL63 Mercedes came out with? I believe it's the IWC limited edition. It's very hard to explain but it has a kind of pearl in it too. I like it ALOT, maybe you should go check it out. I saw one at Euromotorcars Germantown a while ago, I can stop by and see if it's still there

Found a pic after doing a search. As usual the pictures dont do it justice. I personally don't like the front end but we are purely discussing the color anyway (Edit: sorry for the huge pic lol)

That's HOT Ahmad...I think I will leave it as is and take Al's advice and just have it cleaned every week or every other week. His detailier Steve came by my house and did my Turbo S and Pana TT. The Turbo S looks better than when I bought it and the PTT looks like "glass". He isn't cheap nor super expensive but I don't care, he literally transformed my PTT, I had swirl marks on my car from the dealer and they're not there anymore. So....I'll just leave as is and wait for the GT2RS.

Alex, I'm glad the detailer hook-up worked out. He is making me even lazier. So to return the favor, you will have to let me take your future 2RS to the track. I was at Summit again this past weekend. The RS is just silly good, even in stock spec. I can't imagine what the 2RS will be like given the hype we are hearing. Al

Auto Armour Films & Finishes in Columbia, MD is now offering the full compliment of VentureShield (a 3M brand) matte finish films, including full car wraps which they have a depth of experience in doing.

Auto Armour is the premiere clear-bra services co. in Mid-Atlantic, servicing nearly all luxury & exotic dealerships in the area (with exception of Aston Martin HBL who install 3M Scotchgard in-house but very basically and imperfectly) and all the mainline European dealerships of any consequence.

Full clear-bra/ppf car wraps, full front-end wraps, standard leading edge clear-bras, 3M Ventureshield gloss & matte, 3M Scotchgard PPF, they do them all and do them all and perfectly day after day nonstop.

The matte film combined with graphic design and computer cutting capabilites can create some very cool effects like "ghost" accents in whatever shape, flame, vectors etc.... and best thing.... if effect gets old and tired just take it off without any harm to paint.
