It really does look like paint. I wonder what the metallic looks like.

Could also be bright orange. Its quite hard to tell from a sample and burnt orange is usually not that bright. Heres what the FTO will look like orange (this one is not vinyl wrapped):

This would be close to the look id be going for. Oh and metallic is $300 more expensive with the guy im trying out, so probably is elsewhere as well.

    My old FTO looked like the first one with the Veilside front bar (don't worry, I bought a new front bar, but traded the car before I put it on.)

    It had a AB bonnet, veilside front bar and spoiler, black boot, roof and the bonnet similar to the one in the photo. Except it didn't flare back out at the front. Also had white TSW wheels.

    I've seen one in my parents suburb that's quite like that second one, facelift orange and spoilerless. Looks pretty nice.

    And you didn't think to take off the AB bonnet to give to me for free? :roll:

    But seriously, I think the FTO looks great in shiny metallic orange. Just as long as it doesn't fade.

    If I had a spare bonnet to put on it I would have taken it off. :lol:

    I'll be joining Dstocks on this guinea pig venture. I'll be wrapping my roof in either matte black or carbon fiber.

    What d'you think will look better?

    Define roof? Do you mean just the uppermost part, or including the pillars like the orange FTOs shown above? I don't think carbon would work for the whole deal, but that's just me.

    Matte black. Carbon in my opinion would look weird..

    If you want carbon go bonnet and at most, boot lid.

    Roof and pillars. I'm doing it as a cheaper solution to respraying my roof after i treat the roof rust. It'll never look perfect if i respray it, and it won't be cheap to do that, either.

      Telling you Xena, I can fix that problem you were having. Your rims are the main cause really for giving the car that odd look. Being a good member, I can help you by giving my stock rims to you and taking your faulty rims in return. You don't even have to pay me anything, just buy me a beer when we meet next. I just want to help members, that's all....

      I think there's a misunderstanding here, but I'm not entirely sure what it is. :lol:
