I would love to have tinted rear tails.. I tried talking to some installers about placing film on them, but with the ridges and design it can't be easily done. Not sure if I want to have them painted since I'm not sure it can be reversed again.

If you already have a black car and want it matte, considering getting matte Xpel. That way you get the protection of Xpel, and then it makes your color matte vs gloss.

I'm in the same boat. Ordered IRR with black pack, but the rear lights almost match up with the paint and hides the outline of the lights. I really like the shape so some contrast would help. Wonder what the best method would be for tinting the tail lights?

The Matte orange looks pretty Disco. Does come off looking a bit Lamborghini, look at me etc.. but each to their own. Personally I like the gloss finish on the F-Type.

The Porsche/Aston Gulf Livery wrap is the best I've seen. Would like to do something similar with my F-Type



was thinking of a green/white or green/white/orange vibe (I am Irish)....

What's with the panel gaps where the hood meets the front quarter/fender? Did they just leave the hood release open or something? If that's closed, it looks like crap...

I suspect the hood isn't latched squarely, which is easy to do if you don't slam it with your hand in the middle. It's been discussed in other threads.

Good point here. Hood is aluminum, it is really easy to tweak, someone closed mine wrong and I had to have it adjusted.
