Nope...
What happened to putting a nice deep shine on your car.
Looks like somebody took a paint spray from the hardware store to it.
Sorry.

I like the way the orange elements show off the car's body lines, it keeps it from looking amorphous like most blacked out cars.

Love it. Only put 250 miles on it so far as the winter has been brutal. Looking forward to driving it come spring.

do you mean the price of the wheels itself or just painting them black? trying to figure out what it would have been without buying the wheels.... or really just the wrap itself.

Love it!! It's a really fun and special car to drive. I'm still in the break-in period so I haven't pushed it too hard yet. I rotate daily driving (60 miles) between the I8 and M6. Find myself leaning towards the I8 more and more each day...
