How much do these wraps typically cost? BTW, the color is definitely interesting.

You do realize those are the stock CTSV wheels right? The car is normally black/black and the rims came on it like that. Kinda hard to judge the factory rims...plus if you are under the age of 50, chrome is so dated.

He did take the car the next day and get a set of Welds put on. Car is pretty much going to be his track/weekend car now

Come on back! Even though you are way closer to Jeremy with Pearls and Pigments down there and he is one of the best in the world doing this.

To even want a color like that on your car you either were a middle child or your parents didn't give you enough attention. Either way it screams - LOOK AT ME.

I personally don't see the need to be a beacon for the cops attention. No red or bright green for me. Maybe just fine for you.

Beyond personal reasons..it is a muscle car.....GM makes Yellow, bright Red, Synergy Green and other "look at me" colors. That's normally the point with loud muscle cars. This V is a close to 700hp trailered track car now as well.

I also dip my car like every few months so I'm debating on the next color. My car was at one time bright orange and I don't think that means I wasn't hugged enough as a child. The more "out there" the colors for me = more advertisement for dipping cars as well. Don't mind the attention from cops either, they don't bother me, and when they do talk to me about my car they seem to love either the sound or whatever color it is at the time. If anything, the crazy colors and loud choppy exhaust has kept me out of trouble. Im just wondering if itd look ok or not on the car. If I don't like it, it'll change quickly like my car did when it was purple for a few weeks.

I say go for it! Like you said if you don't like it you can always change it. I think it would work great on your car. Its in the same range as the synergy green so why not .

Best regards,

Thanks for the tip, I need to take a ride over to Houston. Keep up the work though, see the cars on fb and they usually look good

I don't care if they are the stock CTSV wheels. IMHO black wheels are just plain ugly and make a car look dull. I am 59 and even back in my younger years there were more black wheels then chrome. Back then if you could not afford chrome wheels people would remove their hub caps and paint the wheel black. It looked ugly as hell back then and black wheels still look ugly. With black wheels, you can wash your wheels and they don't look any different. However, wash and polish chrome wheels and they just fricking sparkle. I want my car to sparkle, if I didn't care how it looked I would just never wash them and soon they would look like ugly black wheels.

I still dont prefer all black wheels. All of those cars in the pics above would look better with other wheels.

I love when threads like this attract all the haters. Shows how many closed minded fools are in this world. Personal preference is personal preference. I love the idea of this! I've always been afraid to buy cars with loud colors, but they are growing on me now. I'm seriously considering dipping my ZL1 a teal pearl or chameleon color. Nothing beats being able to peel off multiple colors and still keep the integrity of the original color in tact. It's all about having fun with your car and creating options without the permanent regrets.
