I scratched the top part of my bumper while trying to load a bike into my trunk and now I have to live with it or redo my entire rear bumper! Live and learn....

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the advice, Alan. That's very helpful!

Haha, thank you Barb. I'm leaning towards green and blue. I also want a color that still looks good with the Mineral White in case I ever have to remove the wrap for whatever reason. I'm just a HUGE fan of the 918 spyder and the brakes always stand out every time...even though they delineate that the color represents the package (Eco Friendly for green) in Porsche.
