Default To wrap or not to wrap

So im selling the car, but I'm in no rush. So if I get a good offer I'll sell if not I'll keep it.

Wha t do you think of my plan:
Matte dark grey wrap
Paint the wheel faces gloss black
Wrap the lips in matte grey
Yellow calipers

My inspiration is the 5 axis GS.

What do you guys think?

Now




5 Axis GS

It's a beautiful car already, but I'm sure it'll be nice either way. Also depends on what you'd be selling it for. Maybe you could dump that time and money in your new project. Sweet car though, wish mines was half as nice. Good luck!!!

The wrap won't cost me anything but time.

The average person doesn't get the whole gold wheel thing. I'm tired of ppl saying i drive a "pimps" car...

I will change wheels to black either way.

I use to say and think the same thing that it looks ghetto. Over the years I've completely changed my mind, looks tight! However, the 5 Axis is Hot!

I like the look of your car as it stands now. Love the gold wheels. Want them, if your buyer doesn't. But go ahead and wrap it for now if you're bored with it. It's your time to spend. I understand it. I usually get bored after about 18 months with a car. Buy it, mod it, drive it, sell it. Your car is more classy than the 5axis car. Theirs is nice as a sports car.
