Got any more pics of that coupe online? Looks pretty sweet. There's something cool to me about that body style with ground effects…And meeting my Coupe...

The black stripes look good!Here's my '14 in TB with Rado Gray wheels and red calipers, and matte black over-body Shelby-style stripes. I didn't order the car that way, but that was what was available to me.

Subtle is right .Wouldn't have notice them in the pics had you not mentioned it.I agree. They are subtle and keep it classy. Seeing those pics reminds me I need to wash my car.
Matte black stripes on a gloss black car look bloody awesome. I'd be rather happy if that's how a car was available for me!Here's my '14 in TB with Rado Gray wheels and red calipers, and matte black over-body Shelby-style stripes.

Rado Grey wheels are an option in Europe and the US. In Oz we don't get any options for some reason (the one-spec-for-all approach) so I've found a set through a member of this very forum. And they're on their way to me...Its very weird everyone seems to have gotten the gunmetal wheels and red caliper package.Is anyone else equipped with Red Recaro Seats? I wouldve loved the gunmetal wheels. I might just paint the calipers myself lol.
Ha! Yeah, black would be a horror to keep clean. Looks amazing when it is, though. If all else fails, sure, wrap it! I had my (now sold) 170 done about six months ago. Still looks amazing - and with fewer stone chips than straight paint...If I ever get too pissed off to be arsed keeping up with the black, I'm going to have the whole car dipped or wrapped something stupid, like high-visibility jacket stupid.
Exactly. Now here's a sample of two styles (sorry for the Facebook quality - don't have the original with me). Mine and Byron's business/track car are wrapped, while the grey car is plasti-dipped. Yes, the whole car...That's gorgeous. Wrap or dip can both be pretty amazing when done correctly and not by someone's cousin in their driveway.
Get VHT Caliper paint and have at it! Just make sure you use brake cleaner and their primer first, and low-temp bake it. Don't bother with the brush-on stuff, it winds up looking like dog's breakfast, from what I've seen.Its very weird everyone seems to have gotten the gunmetal wheels and red caliper package.Is anyone else equipped with Red Recaro Seats?
