I own no garage queens. If it's in my driveway, it's been ridden hard and put away wet. ...and now, with a light crust of Maine road salt.

Looks good, but if it were an official colour, I'd still not have chosen it. Of the wraps I have seen on here, I think yellow suits it best.

Glad you shared it though, as I always wanted to see it done well in red

Post a few different views of it, if you took more pics

I saw the car whilst being done. They took the two wings off and stripped loads of things off. Several bits had to be replaced. Subtle use black too..

Looks good in red, but I wonder if a deeper shade of red would be more striking.

Nice

I like it. Agree, a deeper red or maybe one of the deep ruby metallic colors.
