I would say NOT. Looks awesome with the halo and gray wheels. Gills wraped distract from the agressive look you have now... IMO

Unwrap those gills, and you've got the best looking Carslile Blue I've seen

Not diggin' the gills. I think the top and halo look great. Add CF side skirts and emblems.

Half of me thinks it looks good, but half of me thinks it would look better with them as their original color.

I think the roof/halo/wheels work very nicely. The gills I think are a double-edged sword. I think it looks pretty aggressive (in a good way) and also stands out as unique (I wouldn't do the Grand Sport badge though, leave that as it is). However, it does look pretty aggressive and when I look at it, my eyes keep wanting to look at the gills and not immediately the whole car.

I'd say keep it just like that though. Don't do the GS badge, leave those like they are.

Good job! Looks like it came as an option

I have to go with AC04 on this. I would leave it wrapped. It looks killer. Lets see some more pics.
