GT S Color Change: From Mr. Gray to Blue Beast
So after owning a few white/black/gray cars, I really wanted some color for my next one. Though I originally ordered a Brilliant Blue GT set to arrive in Nov, I came across a great deal on a clean '16 ED1 I couldn't pass up.
As many of you know, the ED1s came in one configuration with Selenite Gray as the ext color. Well, the gray lasted maybe 2wks until I decided to take her to Performance Film Solutions here in Santa Ana, CA for a color change. I've always fancied the BMW Santorini Blue/Porsche Voodoo/Mexico Blue and thought if I'm changing colors, might as well make it pop.
I was hesitant at first since I'm not a big fan of the red/blue "Superman" look but the red interior wasn't too overpowering, then tinted windows and slight tint on the tails to complete the exterior black/blue look, and a quick color change on the calipers from red to copper:
Here's some progress photos of PFS's work. She should be done by end of week and I'll update with more shots then!

I have a factory set of rims that would look great on that set up!

'16 C63-S
i just did mine (black to satin pearl white), but it's a pain. so hard to keep clean and VERY fragile. Never wrapping a car again. not to mention all the fitment issues I had with my installer (no, i didnt use sticker city, i used a ****ty garbage shop called Aerowerkz and paid $4850 including wheels powdercoated).
