I like the vettes of those options the best. Most appealing and obviously the best handling. Interiors suck, but that is not what I'd be buying it for. Maybe next year after kiddo #2 comes. That's why I can't do it now.
Only thing stopping me from vinyl is the engine bay... What do you do there? Wrap under the fenders and choose a color that matches well?
Thankfully I have nothing really to show off in the engine bay besides a few carbon and shiny bits. I cut the wrap on the fenders right along the inner edge leaving the engine bay pure silver still. It actually doesn't look as bad as I expected. If my car was red or something, that could be a problem though.

Because mine sure as heck doesn't match well
I think it isn't an issue if you have a basic color to start with (i.e. any whites, treys, blacks). Its when you add color that I think it starts to stand out
Edit: Did you decide to continue on with the wrap? Theres only one answer that will make me happy

I think I am going to continue with the wrap. Even if the edges look like doo-doo, at least I can say that I did it myself and finished it.
Got my custom brackets and intake pipes from my buddy. Before he grinds them down, cleans them up, and powder coats them he wants me to test fit it all and make sure it will work with the car.
This will be the intake setup, just have to cut the coupler that connects to the vortech on a slight angle and all should go well. Will be testing that and the intercooler on the car next weekend.
I've had great success at Fastrack in Peabody for my suspension dialing. Awesome set of guys.
Also for who ever asked if there were any FI guys around. I have twin gt3076 turbos on a 3.8l stroker. Had my tuning done at GTM but now I use Sean Ivey since he's the only HKS tuner that will work on a VQ in the entire north east.
I can vouch for Fastrack in Peabody. Awesome guys and good customer service. They worked on my brothers Liberty Walk E92 for suspension and alignment.
Thanks! I'm determined to have the car done by the end of spring break (Mid march). A solid 9 days of break will be perfect to finish the vinyl and get the suspension/wheel setup dialed in.
Exciting boost stuff coming soon for you. I'd be way too anxious to wait this long, would be driving me insane
You have no idea. Im going insane. My spring break is at the beginning of march, thats when I made my appointment for tuning. So yea Im getting anxious
