exactly...i love black but when I started seeing other colors in my car I realized many of the lines had been hidden. thank you!

If the opportunity arises, try some of McLaren's metallic colors (Volcano Orange, Aurora Blue). They work really well for the same reason.

OP, pics with the doors up? Agree on needing shiny wheels. Black or dark wheels never match with exterior like this. Kinda like putting black wheels on a mystichrome cobra. Those look atrocious.
I see why you did it now. The lines of the car ARE definitely more pronounced (in a good way). Really highlights the curves. I like it even if it’s not my cup of tea.

Edited to add, post some before pics please (if you don’t mind stirring the haterade again lol)

I'm not crazy about the wrap, but it definitely does a good job at enhancing the lines of the body. Lines that are just hidden with the factory black paint. Black is probably that absolute worse color for a McLaren. I agree with Treynor that Volcano Orange looks great. Aurora Blue doesn't wow me but it IS better than black.

I see the issues with this whole wrap my car.
What is the cost of material vs labor.
Your paying someone's mortgage so they can put on a couple hundred dollars worth of film? Re Sale value affected?
And definitely can afford a new shirt from Hot Topic. When you get out with two females it should have been a Batman Shirt.
If you like it do it, You have to take the heat if you ask for an opinion.
