Sheesh, I learned (or was trained) years ago by my wife. One only drives a white car after Easter and before Labor Day. After all, it's important for the shoes and purse to match the color of the car.

Which is the optimum choice? New car with color-shift paint? Second car for the Labor Day to Easter time period? Repaint the current car? Upgrade to wife V2.0?

I am so glad I'm not in your shoes.... ;-)

I agree - Tint and wheels help offset the look. That's about all I've done (wife's car) and I wont be doing much else to the exterior as she's happy

If she's bored with white and doesn't want to wrap the entire car. No amount of black/cf bits you add to it will make her less bored with white. Get new wheels in a style and color she likes. Wrap parts in a color she likes. Btw, no one said roof wraps HAVE to be black. Do whatever it takes to make her happy. :-)
