vinyl wrap it. cheaper holds up well protects paint and you can always remove it

you could vinyl wrap............

.... but why would you hide such a nice colour!

xdeslitx · 08-16-2010, 07:09 PM

I wouldn't paint it. The color looks real nice on the 40th IMO

i think he meant paint/vinyl the fangs and rear valance... since you have the 40th... i would definitely suggest getting it vinyled... just in case you want to remove it later on

welcome to the forum and congrats on the new 40th edition Z! I would vinyl it just in case you want to change it up and it'll act as a paint protection too. Good Luck and share some pics!

Sorry I wasn't being clear. What I meant was I wouldnt even paint/vinyl the fangs or rear valance since I really like the color on the 40th. Maybe I will photoshop it though to see how it might look. I just don't think there will be enough contrast if we black out the fangs and rear valance on our 40ths.

I would have to agree there would be little to no contrast, although it looks really good on any of the 370 colours except the dark ones.

Here's a photoshop of it
I don't think I would do it on mine, but to each his own.
Damn...should have color corrected the image before I added the black-out. The color of the car is washed out.
