I did debate for a while to just get it painted or doing the wrap. It was only like $350-400 cheaper to do paint so I figured why the hell not do the pearl white.

Never realized paint matching silver could be as rough as all three shops said it most likely would be. Gotta blend into the fenders and sh*t....forget that!

I've personally been looking forward to seeing the pearl white wrap. I've seen it in person on an Audi s5 and it looked BEAUTIFUL! I think it would look even better with the theme you have going on with your 35!

its gonna be the exact color scheme as my old 350z...the gold flake will be much more apparent I believe though, if I go off what I saw on the fisker that had the wrap.

Car dropped off at the shop for the wrap! Body shop apparently missed a few things and now Iv got to pay over x2 as much in labor cost for them to go ahead and fix it....

anywho, 7-10 days, optimistically speaking and $2500 later

Next on my list is either replacing the stock bose head unit and/or new front seats or reupholstered seats to a deep red.

I have ZERO knowledge of seats so I have a bit of research to do. However the only seat Im really liking due to color shade and style are these Braums. Im not a fan of seats that hug my shoulders or thighs.

I dont know how much safety comes in play and what I should be really looking for so yeah, reading is needing.

Just got the car back yesterday from Atlanta Custom Wraps and took a couple videos in different lighting. The second half is a bit shaky, sorry about that!

Let me know what ya guys think...not like its going any where for at least 2 years.

all the yellow/gold on the wrap is the pearl/sparkle effect. I shot the night time stuff under white lights.

That video clip shows the hint of yellow in the paint, bet it looks superb in person, and w/ that gold flake in the wrap it should really compliment those wheels well. Nice job!

yeah...I figured I shouldnt even say that. Almost feels implied nowadays or maybe I have just said it way to much. after :50 in, thats probably the best time to see that "pearl/sparkle" effect.

Thanks man...and it seems the Braum seats are hella hard on the ***. In other words not comfortable.

looks like reupholster the stock seats is in order.

went out and took some pictures on saturday. Ended up with about 70 and NONE of them were good.

this is the only decent one I got out of all of them. Either too pixelated or full of artifacting.

Actually getting a proper shoot done by a photographer on wednesday evening
