That's no fair. You can't keep us waiting that long. Looks like a Riviera wrap.

Very cool. Smart thinking.
Maybe that might be a smarter way to get an RS in PTS going forward.
Would love to see in person some day.

Not sure I agree. A full wrap is about the same cost as PTS but you won't get the resale premium.

But if you're going to wrap by all means mix it up.

The problem is not the cost but the ability to get PTS. PTS windows are small and hard for most to get a PTS. They make them in very small number. If one doesn't care about resale, this is a viable option. Not my 1st choice by far. Also, PTS cars in the used market carry a hefty premium, even more than the cost of PTS.

I would agree on doing a wrap instead of PTS. At this moment blue/green is very popular and commands a premium. That hasn't always been the case. Trends come and go.

Trust me, i'd have taken a PTS and done Mexico. It didn't happen. Was lucky to get the car for no markup. 3k for clearbra to this, isn't that much of a jump. I haven't seen car yet and won't until completion on Saturday and I'll give my thoughts. There are very specific coatings I am going to use on car. If I get sick of it I have a solid second option.

And one more thing. I have already been contacted about car and it's "new" color to see if it was available. While it won't command PTS money the wrap absolutely will add value to the car over a standard car.

I have very few options I could wrap with the orange stitching and door pulls. Seems like blue could work if there was something close to VB.
