UPDATE*
I took the car in way earlier than scheduled. I'll be wrapping the car and it should be complete by 2/10 Wednesday. Details below:
- Chrome delete on the front grill
- Clear gloss wrap on the carbon fiber exterior trims so that they pop out more (and protected from chipping)
- Powder coated black gloss wheels
- Satin White Aluminum Wrap (silver)
- door handle chrome delete
- blacked out all chrome trims except for car model branding/logos (amg, v8 biturbo, etc)
Congrats and can't wait to see pics.
I wonder why you did not buy the AMG with OEM matte silver paint. cheaper 2 ?
Was it because they gave u a deal on this unit?

Thanks! Reason 1, it was a bit difficult finding a GTS in that color that was available. Most were charcoal. Second, the ones in Magno Silver were from dealers who had a dealer mark up of 10-30k on the car....and I found that Most of the dealers here in Los Angeles are charging that premium on top of the MSRP for the GTS.
Also, I like the satin silver wrap better also and intended to wrap the car regardless to have some fun.

Interesting, in Florida quite a few dealers had magno silver but no magno "charcoal" like you call it. West coast versus east coast lol.
All dealers I have gone to are selling their cars at MRSP or slight discount.
Just an opinion but black rims make the car body shape look funny to me. Looks like it doesn't have any wheels at all. I would consider some color on the rims for sure

i love black wheels lol...I think the point is that so it looks like its floating, and theyre high gloss powdercoat they actually pop a log in person
but When I pick up some wheels it will most likely be 20/21 Bronze HREs

having owned black wheels, they always look better in the flesh

very nicely done OP, car looks killer, those HRE's will no doubt send it over the top! looking forward to those too
