F8 Livery Advice

Beautiful color. I'm not sure I'd do anything to it, but if I were to choose, it would be either the one wide stripe of yellow or gray (the last two exterior pics). If I had been the one to spec it, I would have gone for brown leather and brown alcantara on seats and doors in contrasting brown with that color exterior.

 

I’d do this one but in gold and more dreamlines on the periphery of the sides of the black center.

Do it good quality vinyl and it will be easily reversible. Were you thinking of painting it?

 

I agree with @plastique999, add the gold and maybe consider powder coating the wheels in a light gold to match. I think that would play off well with the green.

 

For me yellow does not fit with the original classy and understated characteristics - some may love the contrast though.

 

No on yellow. Your bakes and interior do not have yellow outside the shields and steering wheel. With your cars body color...gold is about as yellow as I'd get but you'll need something like gold wheels to tie in a black and gold strip. You'll need to carefully pick the shade of gold so it is not a yellow gold...I am thinking a lighter misty looking gold.

I feel with your retro style color that a retro style black racing strip would look best and add some sportiness to a luxury color. Or.... a retro black racing strip with the color of the seat stripe centered to tie it all in.

 

For me...if your black bits on your F8 are gloss I'd go gloss stripe or if they are factory matte black go matte strip. In other words keep things tied in and not too busy to detract from the exotic lines of the F8 body.

I am deciding on either keeping my black front aero bits gloss black....the original cars owner PPF'd the car and the front grill matte black parts were done in gloss black but the little side aero bits behind the front wheels and under the doors are still matte black. The drives me nuts but simple fix. LOL. I think for my red car that gloss black detail aero bits would possible look best to me and get a 2nd set of gloss black wheels. The mirror trim and top of the headlights are gloss black from the factory....so for me I will tie it all together and have all the matte black parts covered with gloss black ppf.

 

I love the way it is. The color is enough and the added stripes look confusing and distracting to me. I think its a very tasteful car. congrats.
