Im looking to do this as well with 3M 1080 wrap and do the center console. What wrap did you use and how was the process? Any tips?
I like to use Avery wrap...think it is a little thinner and easier to work with. Metrorestyling.com is great for finding vinyl amd tools (wrap sticks, squeegees, knives, heat guns, etc). Advice...just take your time. Use panel tools to get your trim off. Good luck.
It has been awhile since I updated this build. Over the past few weeks I got my RS-R springs swapped out for a set of BC coilovers thanks to @Meraki Autoworks . I also got a set of rear camber arms from Figs and will be getting an alignment done soon. The mod I am most excited about was a BBK from RR Racing. It really helps fill out the rear wheel barrels. The stock rear brakes look small especially if you increase wheel size. I got them used from @highrev6 who was parting out his GS. They were custom painted USB and look great. Bad news was a washer failed while I was bedding the brakes and leaked brake fluid down the side of my car which I did not notice right away and my clear coat got messed up. Next mod....vinyl wrap or a new paint job.
I love that orange in there All because of a $2.50 washer...FML
I love the chrome delete and the wrapped roof reminds of the Tesla all glass roof. I'm never been a fan of black rims but I'm not sure what I'll do with my white 460.
Totally love those wheels of yours!! In fact, I wanted them so badly I even reached out to Niche direct today to get the straight scoop. The staggered 19s will NOT fit because the "Drop Center" does not clear the calipers on the RC-F, and I'm so done w 20s due to pothole city here that ruined a precious set of Ace Alloys, which caused me to buy a brand new wheel and Michelin PS4S due to a sinkhole! Bottom line- no one makes a decent looking 19" wheel so I can retain enough sidewall to survive around here! And we all know how big the spare donut is within the trunk right!?!?! (NONE!)

Sweet looking ride my man!
I followed your thread about your blow out and the damage it did to your wheel...sucks man. My 20s just barely clear my big brake kit so I would imagine 19s would fall short. Does the RCF come stock with 20s or do they come with 19s like the 200t/300/350s? I wonder if you even have a 19" option that will work with the size of your brake kit. Another wheel I liked and wanted more than these was the Blaque Diamond BD-8, not sure if that would work for you but it is a nice looking wheel. Look luck wheel shopping.
Many thanks, and yes you're right. Finding aftermarket 19s to clear the calipers is almost non existent. Eric from BD was kind enough to send me some ideas, but nothing really hits me like some others - this Niche especially.
Stock are staggered 19s with 255/35/19 Front and 275/35/19 Rear (19x9 and 19x10) so I'm seriously jammed here.
*That what I really wanted after finding Savini had same issue!
Those would look great with USB. I will tell you now that these are a pain to clean. I just ceramic coated the front wheels yesterday and plan to do the rears this weekend. I am hoping that makes cleaning much easier.
