Lol funny enough, I'm not sure, my Z will actually be representing 3M Trimline in all the major shows in the GTA. Worked out pretty good for me.

I will post another thread with way more pics when the Z is done, but if you or anyone wants anything wrapped interior/ exterior parts, whatever, I can get these guys to hook everyone up. They is constantly Bentley's and Porches in their shop. They do some very nice work.

I still haven't decided on colour. But I can get all the rims Powder coated for $200 so that is worth a shot before I think of buying any other rims. I was deciding between gloss and matte black....just havent figured it out. But Kasim's rims are definitely an option, I bought a ton of stuff off as it is lol. But I've never been a fan of really bright rims....I've always liked stealthy.

yea, the colour is really a personal preference. Another option would be to have gloss black rims with some bright accents for some pop.

I've always love the look of this car...

Fixed that for you.

I'm not feeling any of it, I think it looked better before when it you have unpainted lips and ****. Especially the hood....

Just my opinion though, don't take it to heart.

Matte black rims would be too much matte, maybe a set of gloss black rims? I'd choose between a gloss black rim, or go ***** out and get some ridiculously bright rims. Gold, Purple, Blue, whatever. Heck, Kasim's orange CE28s would be a PERFECT match for your car and it's readily available with ballin offsets!

Yes to the bolded sentence! You could pull the orange ce's off, having the matte black paint job.

I like it. A few adjustments here and there and you're golden! How much did the paint job cost you if you don't mind.

i think for matte wrap, you gotta wrap the whole thing or else it just looks unpainted (which looks really cheap)

As long as you like it that's all that matters.

Completely agree with this

It's actually vinyl wrapped man, and the car is actually sponsored, so I didn't end up paying for it.

I dunno, I was going to do it all matte, but then I figured I wanted something subtle but that stands out, which it why I chose the black carbon look. I think it's a nice combo, plus I didn't want to lose the "carbon" hood. I've been meaning to get 4dgs to black the headlights out for a while, I've just never gotten around to it.

I don't take anything to heart, it's my car man, so I'm going to choose a style that I like, I'm merely asking if anyone else likes it the way I do, some people love it, some people don't. Either way, before the wrap, the lips were painted....but black. But I think you already know that and are just breaking my *****.

Thanks bro, I appreciate that. I dunno, maybe it is the first wrapped Z, that would be pretty cool.

Either way I think you should donate your rims to me!

That's what I like to hear, a Z owner that doesn't ***** about what other people think of their car!!!

In my humble suggestion, sand the VHT off the tails and take them to your painter, have him spray them with a reduced black and then cleared with a matte clear coat. You'll thank me when you see it done!
