have you decided on which film type you are going to use? i have a black 4.0 and have been advised to use venture shield as they say that it has less orange peel. i have expel on my red r8 and it looks fairly well but has some definite orange peel. although it could be the install i think it is the product. which way are you leaning?

If it were my decision I would:
1. remove all the decals except on the front bumper.
2. Powder coat the wing uprights black.
3. Keep the orange side markers. It's an orange car. It blends in well.
4. Paint the red (or yellow?) brake calipers to orange with black lettering.
5. Clear bra.
6. Done!

But the sheep will insist on clear markers

As DJ illustrated, remove all decals and it will become a sleeper.
And best of luck on this year's Indy Car series-but please lobby Mr. Bernard to get Watkins Glen back on the Indy Car schedule! We upstate New Yorkers miss seeing you and the Indy cars at the Glen.

Yeah, match that GTCole dude's car. It's bad ass. I've seen it a couple times. And if you get too busy, I know him, and he will come to Florida and do it for you. Then you can run him a few hot laps at Sebring. He just "might" consider this........

Haha, thats the plan! We will see how it ends up. Car ended up being shipped to Indy, and its at my house under its new cover from Suncoast. Looking forward to getting home and seeing it!
