Do you have a full pic of the rear? Is the other side the same or just that one of four?

Interesting mods, I like....the steering wheel (but not so much the purple paddle shifters).

I guess the steering wheel is interesting to look at but it isn't hooking me, though. I'm not a fan of purple highlights (my eldest daughter would lose her ish over it tho lol) so this car overall isn't doing it for me. Is it me, or am I seeing the Akrapovic tips in only the one pic, the closeup? The other two shots with the angled rear in frame seem to be the bare pipes without the tips installed. Maybe he just slipped it on for the pic?

I seen a few on here who have wrapped their rides in matte, but I don't know that anyone's actually painted it. Be interesting to see, no doubt.

I’ve seen quite a few matte, probably not painted though, simply not worth it. Are you thinking of a color or sheen change? A friend just did a cool looking metallic gloss green color. I had been considering something as close to Verdant Green Pearl myself

I have played with the idea of having mine wrapped (silver) to a semi-gloss black but I haven't seen a car up close to get a feel for it yet so no rush to move forward. i like the look of it in pics but I want to see one in front of me so I can see what it actually looks like.

I have found that cars that have a lot of angles and changes in panel direction or otherwise aggressive looking cars look good in matte and satin colors. Cars with big flat panels don’t really look interesting in low gloss colors. Personal opinion of course.
