Lets try this again...

Ok the chrome wrap didnt treat me as well as I had hoped. Sooo Im on to a new look. I thought long and hard about matte black, matte olive drab, and orange...in the end I went with 3M 1080 Intense Blue. I feel like I am going to be really happy with the outcome. Here are a few quick cell phone pics in progress. Ill get some good pics when shes done and when it quits raining here.
Enjoy...

You have to try pretty hard to make a GT2 look bad. That said I really like the blue and a lot more than the chrome.

much better!! that chrome should have come with polarized lenses. but the blue against the front silver(?) still throws me. now if you could matte the front to match the hood..... but i admire your sense of adventure. i changed mine up a bit too so it didn't look like every tt in la ( tried lol ).

No, no, no these two pics are just two quick shots I took midway thru the wrap. When its finished the entire car will.be blue...the hood and wing will.be in matte black. I really dont love the blue against the silver much....just doesnt match.

If you do this shinny blue with matte black, I would suggest you do the roof top matte too. just MO.
