For Gods sake Cam... drive the damn thing! Enjoy it! If you want to change the outside, wrap it. With your need to continually change things you will have so much paint on that thing when you sell it you won't see body lines on it any more.

Oh geez. Is this all because I suggested get a Mystic cobra for the GF?

Haha, no - I've been eying this idea for a long time.

All joking a side, the last thing you want to do is paint the car and spend a ton of money and end up hating it. And stop buying black cars if you don't like the color:asshat:

I agree... I'll probably buy another black car though haha.

hahaha I do drive it. I've put like 200 miles on it in the last two weeks which is unheard of. I

Not sure how I'd feel about that color on your Shelby Cam. I like that color on the older cobras but not on the current styles. I've always hated it on s197s. I was at fabulous fords yesterday and there were a couple cars with unique wraps I liked. One that stood out was this twin turbo 5.0 wrapped in the brushed aluminum wrap. You probably seen me post it on my IG. I'd rather see you wrap your car with a unique wrap, or even past I dip it, than spend a fortune on chameleon paint that you'd have to repaint if you decided you didn't like the look after a month or so.

I do agree with you about wraps around the edges of some panels. I hated how my ss stripe had creases and overlaps on the hood and front bumper. I noticed this a lot on a few cars at the show, including the brushed aluminum one.



LOL, I saw that car, but I hit that part of the show when it was overcast. It took me a minute to see the brushed look--in overcast it just looks like a bad matte plastidip or wrap. Closer inspection of the nasty edges in the wheel well revealed the truth.

What about the lava red, did they ever make a gt500 in it?
No. A great color though.

If you were to paint the car, this would look amazing on the GT500. Saw the color in person and it was stunning. Your car looks great as is though!

don't do the mystichrome. if youre gonna do a high dollar pint job, go beryllium. its just looks so much better. if youre gonna wrap it, I would suggest a matte or metallic blue

I'm pondering it. I am also a big fan of Kodiak Brown which was on my last F-350. I think I would regret spending that much money on a paint job that looks like the car is black from afar though.

I like that and while looking through people who do wraps in my area I found a car they did with this wrap. I'm a fan. Beryllium is a little bright for my taste

I like this though

You have on of the nicest cars on the forum imo.. would hate to ruin it. Once it were done hard to go back and nothing beats a factory paint job...

You would regret it

Got treeed on the post of the wrap. Have to admit the metalic bimmer looks sweet

I personally wouldn't do it. Looks strange when the body is fat, like the 2013's . Also seems like the craze this summer is to have matte mystic paint job. But hey man, it's your car in the end, do what will make you happy!

I'm not a fan of Wraps, they are OK for a race car but I have never seen a street car wrapped that looked good from close up. They look fine from a distance but when you get close, like you mentioned, the corners and tight places just don't look good. As far as the Mystic Chrome I don't think it would look good on your car. If you want something different get one of the bright Kandy colors from House of Kolor.
