The link is for what? Hahaha . Read on down and you will see where MB tested what we are all talking about... I found it after. Seems like blank is hotter than white. I shouldn't feel any difference though since white will be chrome soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie44 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I can't find the actual footage to see if the interiors were the same color but here's another opinion on the subject http://phoenix.about.com/od/car/qt/carcolor.htm When they did it on the news they used identical blk an wht cars with blk interiors and it didn't make a difference. Then they switched the wht car to one with a wht interior and that was a noticeable difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old yeller Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 The Mercedes dealer across from the Scottsdale mall has a chrome car rotating around on display if you want to check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Y Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I was wondering what it would be like to drive around with a chrome hood shining in your face. But then again, my yeller is pretty shiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just died laughing! But if you must know, delorians are on the list of my 5 favorite cars of all times. I looked them up a couple months ago to see if I could find one to purchase. I didn't realize until your comment maybe there's a connection? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an outfit in Texas which purchased all the inventory and can still build you a new one or refurbish an old one. This is where she purchased hers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertdawg Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Please consider carrying the black past the hood and trunk lines onto the nose and tail... Not a great picture but don't just do the hood and trunk at the body lines, they will look like junk yard replacement parts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aenigma Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 I can't carry to the nose because the wrap is black and since my car is white, if the nose gets dinged by rocks, it'll look like white speckles everywhere. I know what you're saying about junk yard parts. I'm carrying it a little past the hood and trunk. Working on thinking how to do it and make it flow well.

Jon Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Just do the chrome. Tint the whole windshield with 50%. It's really not bad to drive with at night. I just don't think it's going to look right mixing things up like that. If anything, do a carbon fiber hood and wrap the rest of the car chrome. At least then it won't look like junkyard parts on your car. Here's mine with a tinted windshield: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to do the carbon fiber but opted for brushed metal. I'm going to look at it all again this week. I have a few more days to decide before I can't change anymore. Nice car btw!

You know, it's your car and you should do exactly what you want to! Speaking from personal experience, you will never make everyone happy (at least one ACEhole would probably prefer all vettes to be ORANGE). Make it yours and enjoy it!! Can't wait to see it.

Desertdawg Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 (at least one ACEhole would probably prefer all vettes to be ORANGE). I never said that, in fact the less orange the more unique mine is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should all mod our cars exactly the way we each want to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aenigma Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 I dropped it off this morning at 8am. I'm hoping 1. It'll be done by Thursday as promised and I can take it on to Gila Bend, and 2. It doesn't look entirely ridiculous. I can't believe I'm doing this. It's freaking me out at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
