I just got a white 458 coupe and thinking of wrapping roof. Any opinions of gloss vs. matte black? Opinions appreciated. Thanks Da
Get a racing strip. Looks way better. This guy does the best work and he sends u the strip kit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
You live in AZ? I remember seeing this at ferrari Scottsdale. Gloss car matte Roof matte car gloss Roof. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
gloss wrap - ugly plastic matte wrap - freaking ugly plastic. Like an old Buick with a fake vinyl top Factory black paint is beautiful on the top of a white Ferrari. Aftermarket plastic wrap looks like aftermarket plastic wrap.
Not wrap the roof? Yes I live in Arizona. Traded a California T for it and took major haircut...was spec'd beautifully Not going to dwell upon it, much happier in the 458. What I traded out of: Image Unavailable, Please Login
The white top will keep the car cooler in the Arizona sun. Your paint is a $27K option? Is that Fuji white?... all the better reason not to put black plastic on it. Your 458 is gorgeous!
The Cali T was Fuji white. No, the 458 is just white. Unbelievable car. Had no idea what I was missing.
Nice looking Cali t and 458. I would personally go with a gloss black wrap on your avus. If you go to a really good installer the wrap won't look cheap.
+1 It is beautiful as it is, 2 tone is 1990s NSX and Camaro. Your car is one of the most beautiful 458s already, no need to do anything but enjoy one of the best cars ever created.
Here is a pic of my new 488. Let's see who can guess if the roof is a wrap or factory paint? Can anyone guess the roof color? Personally if a wrap is done well...it looks great. Image Unavailable, Please Login
I had a white 2016 488 GTB and asked the dealer to put a Black Gloss wrap on it without looking at the material. It looked like a cheap plastic finish that had Orange Peel, and looked awful. I then rewrapped it with a Semi Gloss. This looked perfect, plus was an excellent match for the black trim around the tail lights. It looked even better each time I Waxed it. That lesson cost me $1200 which I am happy to share with you. Do it, you will be very happy.
The 458 coupe has a beautiful roof line. Blacking it out loses the line, and it looks a little... Honda CRX? Show off those Pininfarina lines with the body colour!
I kinda agree with this. The wrap tends to cheapen the car. If your preference is going to be the two tone look then desirably better to get the black painted roof. Anything else will take on the look of an after thought - of not acceptable at a distance.
