See if they have a burnt/brazen orange metallic vinyl. i think that color would look badass on a sky/gt. When the time comes for a repaint, thats probably the color Im going to do.

Arabas · « **Reply #26 on:** March 29, 2012, 10:33:20 AM »

i made you understand something wrong.
i am not obliged to keep it if i don't want, not 1 not 2 years. if i want, i will take it off instantly.
BUT, since it's something i will have decided to do and i have paid for installation, IF i won't like it, i think it's reasonable to keep it for a year before i take it off. no big deal.

forget about sponsorship, to make things simple, no sponsorship.
i will pay 650 euros to make it orange matt. in my mind, i like it. but i can never be sure if it will be too much or it will be very nice...

I agree have someone here do a photoshop of your GT.
At least this should give you an idea of what may look like.

SHiNY · « **Reply #32 on:** March 29, 2012, 07:57:51 PM »

The question is... Are you willing to throw away 650 euros?

If you like it it's worth the investment, if you don't, you just threw away euros for no reason. Don't you have a wedding to save for or a SMMM9 to attend?

Gentleman Jack · « **Reply #33 on:** March 30, 2012, 12:19:58 AM »

Just send me the euros, I'll tell you how your car would have looked really bad and that you would have removed the wrap anyway. I will then use the money to go to MMMMMMM9.5 and everyone will be happy! ( except perhaps the other MMM9 attendees....). I will even save some of the money and send Kelu a wedding present!

Not sure why you solicit the opinions of others as yours is the only one that counts.

FWIW, sticking matte orange on a car makes about as much aesthetic sense as contact cementing purple shag carpet all over it, but apparently some people like it. The only question should be - are you one of them?

Always have the plasti-dip option too...

This is my plan for when I want to get stupid with the car... all the benefits of vinyl with a lot less cost! and its a pretty simple DIY project that can be done in the driveway and only costs ~$300 to do an entire car!

Arabas · « **Reply #41 on:** April 01, 2012, 07:51:24 AM »

i will post fotos a bit later.
i like it!!

esitmated time of the mod: mid May

miller11386 · « **Reply #42 on:** April 01, 2012, 09:50:07 AM »

Arabas · « **Reply #43 on:** April 01, 2012, 11:09:44 AM »

this is it!

in shadow and in light. general image of this vinyl really changes depending on the light
i am weighting my options on the black details that i will add to the car.

Absolutely!

If its possible for me to be an insane genius, then the opposite must also be possible. It has to do with the theoretical convergence of two parallel lines as they near the event horizon. Most of you will never understand.

Arabas: I think will look nice, go for it

If you won't do it, sent the sponsor to me but I will accept the deal only with some bucks from them because of racing exposure

And as a slow drag race driver the sponsor will get more "exposure" time then if they go with some other driver.

GJ, "theoretical convergence of two parallel lines," that's brilliant, depending on your perspective of course.

Exactly! It depends on if you are outside or inside the black hole!

Can we call Kelu's car the "black hole"?
