From the pics it looks like you've done a nice job w/ the wrap. Not sure about the look as a whole, a lot of different things going on there. IMO the Carbon wrap would look better on small parts like mirrors, grill, valance, etc. But that's just my 2 cents, I applaud you for the project, I'm sure you gained a lot of great experience.

So do you suggest I rewrap the hood and trunk green? I'm keeping all the chrome too. I didn't think I'd like it but I do. I value your opinion as my taste is questionable lol. I'm still gonna be redoing the front bumper and one off the doors anyway... I have a ton of green vinyl left. Lmk.

I am glad to see you tried something new, the community get stagnet and always nice to see someone try something outside the norm. If anything you gained some knowledge and experience from the job.

But to be honest, I dont like anything at all about the final product. The wheels are horrible, the wrap color is just bad and too agressive for a stock car, the hood and trunk just look off, the chrome accents just dont match.

- Well, the wheels have nothing to do with the wrap and are staying unless I go back to stock which I am considering

- Looks like the CF is coming off ASAP.

- Why do you say the color is too aggressive?

- What would you do with the chrome?

Flat and loud look-at-me colors only look good on agressive cars. They have the looks to compliment the unique colors. On a stock car, unique colors just dont look right.

Since you went with a dark theme, best thing would be to wrap all the chrome in the cf or black vinyl.

Here is another matte green. The agressive body really makes the color work.

I got your point. Makes perfect sense. I'm still testing this look. I'm gonna replace CF with regular green, replace the wheels with stock sport 18s for now, and as a test plastidip all the chrome and the wheels with bronze metalizer and glossifier over black base. Feel free to stop me but it comes out quite nice in their videos.

On a separate note, I'm thinking iof getting these wheels, STR610:
