Atomic silver is gorgeous in person. Saw and RC350 Fsport in Atomic silver the other day and it made me second guess my choice of Ultra White. It is such an unusual color. I love the atomic silver. Its stunning to watch in motion as the car drove past me.

My UW RC. Had it for about 3 weeks. Got a muffler delete and ran it for about 12 hours... I put the stock mufflers back on it. Too much drone for me, sounded great while it lasted but wasnt for me. (I have the tips / piping if anyone is interested in buying it)

My brother in law ended up getting one last Friday after he saw mine.

Before wrap.

Because it's simply your opinion. I think they're awesome.

Hmmm. I'd have to agree it does look outstanding, however I don't think I would be comfortable to swing 15% where I reside (darn po-po!) haha. It'd be hard for me to drive in comfort, knowing I could be pulled over any minute. I have an Acura CL 3.0 Premium Coupe where I did 35% all the way around and got stopped once (yea, tell me about it). I took it off and had a shop re-apply to the front 2 windows. I'm not sure whether or not to tint my RC. I would do it without a question, but it's already a flashy car on the road, I don't want to draw more attention to it than it already gets. I was thinking of a 35 all around again, but we'll see. Have to wait for more to appear on the roads here in Fresno.

Really like how you blacked out the chrome all around the front. I wish that would've been factory especially for the F Sport trim. Mind to elaborate about what that process is called or where to get it done? It's a nice touch! I also like the blacked out wheels too. Good choice indeed. Don't even get me started on that beautiful red color.....

I am in Los angeles. Have passed dozens of cops who haven't even given my car a second look. I agree it's a flashy car the tint even makes it stand out more but I have also always kept an eye out for the cops and when I see one I just roll down the window. Just changes the whole entire look of a car when you took the windows and honestly I've driven with tinted windows for so long that I feel naked when they're not tinted now. Before I even signed the papers in the finance department I'm already called the tint place I go to make an appointment to get the windows done.

Thanks a lot! I really couldn't handle the front grill chrome on the car.

Its vinyl wrap. Basically I had them wrap the window trim, roof, rear reflectors, and the front grill / lip. It took them a couple days to do everything. They take the bumper off then the grill / lip. From what I was told its a very tedious job to do on this car.

I called around to get quotes in the area (south OC and north SD). Basically everywhere I called they quoted me anywhere from $1200-$1500 for everything and would need my car for 2 days. If you are in the SD area I would recommend going to California wraps in carlsbad. I got it for $590 without tax since I payed cash. I would ask for Trevor and tell him that Sharewin with the white RC sent you.

As far as the wheels and tint go, I had to haggle with the dealership when buying my car.
