Sorry to dig up an old thread, but it seems to me like there aren't much BSP owners around. Most of the BSP don't have much mods and I haven't seen people selling BSP stuff on forum even though I'm pretty new.

I'm contemplating whether to buy a BSP body kit(used or first hand) cause I might have a hard time selling it in the future.

I'm slightly leaning towards buying any colored bodykit and wrapping it in carbon fibre 3m<-- If I do this, I'm probably going to get a cf hood, something like.

gonna wrap my top and trunk as well. any opinions?

Right now I've only seen 3 types of wheels. Chrome/OEM silver graphite and gold. Does anyone have any pictures of black chrome/powdercoat/funky colors?

Thats the thing. Special = rare = hard to buy bodykit. Even harder to sell them in the future. I would like to photoshop, but our car has a everchanging color Blue in the day, black at night, sometimes even purplish.

most people that buy new kits have to paint anyway. i got my gfx kit from sewell the front and sides were painted but the rear was a gold color i just got it painted and installed no big deal, and if you want to sell it. im sure the next person will paint it if they dont have the same color car. im ready to get a vertex kit, so if you guys want ill sell you my gfx kit

Default Won first place in a car show and it was the paint color that got the most attention!

Hi Guys,

Since I had my car painted Black Sapphire I entered it into a car show this weekend. Well needless to say I won first place beating out the jaguar....2010camaro and even a 1969 mustang lol. Everyone kept asking what the color was and loved it. Black Sapphire is not a comon color I'm finding out even in the custom car shows lol. Again thanks to all of you who posted pictures that helped me to decide on the color =).

I had this color Full GFX body kit for sale a couple of month ago for 300 total. too bad nobody bought it at the time, so I just repaint it.

Add me to the list of happy Black Sapphire Pearl owners. Was looking at the red or gray and saw this color in showroom. At first I thought it was black, then noticed it changed in the light to dark blue - sold me on the spot. Also found two diecast Black Sapphire Pearl 1/25 scale models on eBay I bought for my G-scale garden railway. Here are two vendors if anyone is interested. They refer to them as blue or navy blue, but side by side with my car the color is identical.
