    Damn Robert, your car is looking great! Would love to see how those BBS rims look on the Prius.

    lol ...

    Your car looks so cool.

    Where did you get your steering wheel done ?

    And where did you get the carbon fiber dash kit ?

    Because I have heard some carbon fiber dash kit is made by some cheap plastic surface finished not the actual carbon fiber touch.

    Please let me know where can I get your dash kit :rockon:

    They look awesome....

    ^Is it actually painted, or is that a wrap too? I honestly don't think the BBS rims match the car, which is really too bad because separately your car and rims are awesome.

    Amazing! Works very well with your current matte black wrap. Definitely looking forward to the color of the next wrap. Thanks for sharing the picts!

    You cannot miss his other thread. Great read!

    Matte red or yellow? Would look great with the new rims.

    ^Ooo, how about a gold matte wrap, similar to Lexus' daybreak yellow.

    And then any of these taillights to match the CT motif:

    ^ Reminds me too much of the Sandy Beach Metallic (not my favorite cup of tea in terms of color)... I say go extreme opposite and use a burnt orange.

    IMO, Lexus' daybreak yellow is nothing like Toyota's Sandy beach. DY is definitely a younger, spicier flavor. SB is a bit more regal, for older folks.

    That just wasn't the best picture, it looked kind of washed out. In person, however, daybreak yellow is actually very bold and closer to the orange/gold which you recommend.

    The yellow of the new Camaro is my favorite color... Have had 4 previous cars that color.... Wished the Prius would have been available in that color...

    So, are you putting the FULL front spoiler on the car? or just the bottom lip spoiler?

    From the standpoint of a designer, if you have shiny/glossy carbon fiber lower panels, then your color for the upper needs to be shiny/glossy, also.... Matte top, glossy bottom would look unbalanced or mismatched. That'd be like getting your photos printed out with the top part of the picture glossy and the bottom part of the picture matte.... The royal blue color of the rails in the picture that your car is sitting up on would be a great choice.. My two cents worth....

    Hmmm... +1. The first thing that comes to my mind is the Macbook pros that use the glossy screens. They have a glossy black bezel. The option for the matte screen, however, uses the aluminum matte bezel. Taking a subtle cue from Apple never hurts. I'll concede that they pretty much rule industrial design.
