Opinions on this car color....

the big contrast between the polished/silver (spokes, door handles, headlights) is probably emphasizing the darker blue even more.

if you're not going to unwrap it, might suggest getting your wheels painted to a solid bronze or gunmetal, darken the door handles and headlights. should look good.

also maybe put a few decals on there to add some sparkle.

Holy Christ, it's purple. Not blue

TerribleONE · 11-25-2013, 06:28 PM

Its different. I dont love it or hate it. My wrap ended up looking way different then the sample as well.. Sounds like thats just the way it goes

It's different, doesn't look bad. Think if you switch up the wheels (color at least) might look better. If you have the oem's throw them on real quick and post up a pic or two, I think wheels make all the difference.

I like it!

Sure looks like purple, but I think it looks good as it is

Jordo! · 11-26-2013, 02:36 AM

I kind of like it, but if you don't that's all that matters,

i like it. However, IMO, you need different wheels to make the color of the wrap pop more. Like wheels that are all silver. You also need a drop and properly spaced wheels and i think it will all come together nicely.

Yeah these wheels came off my 350z after I sold it. I still have the stock 19ers but I like these better. Def need some spacers though and 295 rears. Im only on 265's.

What size spacers do you recommend?

It looks good to me man and understand what you're going for. I don't like the oem blue choices either. I agree that silver painted or gunmetal wheels with the right offsets (more flush) would make this color pop. Don't second guess yourself, just make it work with the right setup.

Im looking into the wheel spacer thing. I noticed that the second I swapped them over from my 350. Cant believe how more stretched the wells are on the 370, but I like it.

Also never had to worry about spacers before so trying to figure out what I need. Any suggestions?

TopgunZ · 11-27-2013, 12:23 PM

Figured Id post a pic of the inside as well. Using this as my main control center and to read all car vitals. A perfect fit!!

Hey Topgunz,

As a follow up, I realized your location is Denver totally skipped that in your signature.

Looks like today is a nice day and sunny out. How about some shots in better lighting conditions!

Also would like to know if you could share which custom shop did you get the wrap and/or body work done.

Perhaps we can do a meet up in springtime love to see this wrap up close.

Thanks in advance.
