I think it looks downright mean like it is ready to kick butt ! The wife and I were in Cambria just a couple of weeks ago

How difficult is matte paint to maintain? I heard that BMW makes owners sign a "care agreement" for purchasers of the Frozen Gray matte. Looks beautiful though, so probably worth any extra maintenance.

Looks great. Are the stripes laid over the wrap or a part of the wrap itself? It seems that it may be difficult to maintain a straight edge on the stripes while stretching the wrap over the various curves and contours.

The matte black stripes are laid over the orange, as well as the white number markers. The matte black "door inserts" are "cut in" and not laid over. The car looks very slick. Pretty impressed with the job they did.

Actually it was inspired by the MATECH Orange GT shown below.

The finishing touches are being made as we speak to the addition of a carbon fiber, adjustable rear wing. It will be making it's public "debut" at Rally V! :thumbsup

Very nice, But when we saw yours on TV everyone in the room was in love with the black. I am suprised Techno would speak with you after the spanking you gave them.
Who pays for the motor Paul blew in the lambo?

Anyhow looks good but the black looked great as well.
No wyou can do an "Orange peal" and be back to black

A fantastic orange color, Mecum had a 69 Road Runner last PM on the Chicago auction with the color code from Chrysler as "Vitamin C Orange" reminds me of your FGT, beautiful

Does anyone know if any owner has painted their FGT the colors of the Holman Moody GT40 from 1966 Lemans? Bronze with pschedelic pink trim?

Just playing with the computer, your FGT ROCKS!

Good question tpraceman, I was also wondering who's going to pick up the tab on the motor.

Shane, here's when you were trying to tell me where you were headed - taken on the corner of Ocean Avenue and Monte Verde Street in Carmel, just before the parade on Friday evening.
