    I'm planning on doing a custom trim color. Would this be done like any other cosmetic mod?

    Keep in mind I chose the pictures for the COLORS they have, not the designs/objects they represent.

    I think the bright blue like in picture would be the shiz, but is it worth voiding the warranty?

    probably off-topic but why not spend 2xx-3xx more dollars for xotic to paint it w/e color you want? That way you can get the look you want and not void the warranty, ^_^.

    I'd definitely have it done by a reseller.
    It's way too much of a gamble over the years to not have a warranty.
    Anyway, I'm liking that mustang green a lot.

    I chose Blue like in picture.

    You can get the best of both worlds if you choose to do color-shift paint job and use both green and blue.

    Hmm. How would I make that look the best? Make it phase in the middle?

    Also, I figured I'm gonna wait three months until I start. I guess the first three months are when the most problems occur?
