Not my cup of tea. But, in the end, if you like it, then rock it. People shouldn't get validation on aesthetic mods because you won't ever please everyone.

True. But i am just a naturally curious person.

 

Wrap the front stripe around the front or round it around the badge.....also maybe add two pencil lines next to the stripe to make it a little racier...

 

So i have decided on a s2 lotus elise so i can afford some performance parts. anyways i am curious what you guys think of a wrap idea i had. (the black will be gloss black not fake cf).



Also on a side note if anyone is looking for wrap or paint job ideas i might be able to help render them out just pm me

I think it has potential... Personally, I would not do as much contrast as black/white. White vinyl does not usually look very good to me. Maybe black/titanium or similar. Also, maybe consider following the natural line of the car more where it splits the headlight. You are on it at the top, but inside of it at the bottom of the headlight. Just my $.02. Fun project.

 

the white would be the base color from the elise. as a plan on getting a white elise. also thanks for the suggestions i am going to tweak the black areas a bit.

 

It would be interesting to see this executed. The Elise doesn't have a hood per se, so you lose that natural boundary. The crease that runs from the headlights to the A pillar is a pretty major design feature, so adding a color break right there could camouflage it, leading to less dramatic body lines. Most cars have natural creases that make his two tone scheme pretty easy, but you'll have to decidedly pick the lines here

If you do paint, instead of vinyl, consider putting some flex additive to the white paint to reduce stone chips in the paint.

 

Blue brushed metal and titanium brushed is what is going on mine as a two toned stripe.....using lifeless tape etc...but not a full wrap. Hard as hell to get straight but worth it

 

just incase anyone was curious. The design is based off of one of my favorite cars the zonda cinque

 

Then copy that...would be pretty nice. The problem with your design is that it is a bimodal color combination while the Zonda has three separate zones
....

 

The white against black is tough to pull off IMHO.

Old pics of mine but you get the idea. I did the cockpit area and the "stripe" between the access panels in black to allow the carbon roof, hatch and access panels to "blend in". My body shop thought I was nuts.

No

 

Livery should complement the lines of the car not cover them up. It looks like a 1970s style hot rod, not in a good way.

 

I could work with some tweaking:

- Add pencil stripes to either side of the main red stripe.

- Perhaps red on the mirrors ala the Exige GT

- Not sure how you'll define the line where black meets white. Search on the wrap Costly Dakota did on his. He use a 1/8 gold stripe to marry the seams of the main color joins.

 

...Could join the black white regions with a blend ala the Corvette Mako Shark

 

Not a fan of 2 tone cars, but the 3d model sure looks good. Did you create that or find it somewhere? It looks better than the ones I've seen floating around over the years.

It's pretty busy, but the 2 Eleven did a good job of separating the colors. You might see how it looks with your colors, but cut the seam through the headlight like this.

 

Hey Maybach, I love it looks good. the two tone paint is a stand-out....a little tweaking here and there and a stellar installation of the wrap the car will look great!

 

Careful with the black... it's hard to explain but the way the black goes around the front lights, does not match the contours of the car, make sure the white line has consistently gap.. if this makes sense.
