Default Wrapping my car this color??????

I have a 2014 white Lexus IS350 f sport. I've been thinking if I should wrap my car in this color. I was going to go with Satin black but I seen pictures and it seem to like blend everything together which I don't like. I hope you guys can help me decide if I should do it or not. This is 3M Matte Metallic Grey. Also if I get the wrap I will be having my mirrors and trims gloss black just like in the pictures and maybe get black wheels too.

Just do what you want since you're going to be driving it. But I'll say that the gray color looks very dull and wouldn't suit the car. I agree black makes the car blend too much with all the nice lines of the IS.

I think it looks unique, something different. The matte atomic silver color really goes well with the gloss black though, IMO

People in southern california plastidip an entire car for about $500, I've messed with plastidip and it works! Thick coats are the way to go and just use this product call Dip Coat on it (it thickens and smoothes your plastidip, giving it extra life), and clean with simple green! No power washing.. But then again, not sure if they even have plastidip of this color.

Damn I'm loving that wrap! I've been looking for a new color and I've seen a grey matte rc350 and always ponder the color! Now I know, thanks bud! Reminds me of that S63 Amg coupe from the factory!
I say you should definitely go for this color scheme.

This looks so futuristic, I would love to do this to my IS350 Fsport but there aren't any good wrapping places where I live. Keep this thread posted!

Sorry guys I know this is super late. I forgot I actually post this thread but I recently just notice it lol. I got the wrap done around the end of July. I have to say that I love the way it looks on the car. The wrap looks wayyyy better in person. Unfortunately, I couldn't get that same actual wrap do to they change it every year but I got something else that is basically the same but different name.

When I first picked her up after the wrap was done.

Sorry super late reply. I pull the trigger on it. I love the wrap on the car. The cool thing is that it has like three different shades of the color depending on the lighting. No regrets!!

You should definitely do it!! I was afraid that it wasn't going to look good but seeing it in person is totally different.

I was thinking about Plasti dipping it first but I got a great deal that I couldn't walk away. I'm glad I went the wrap route.
