Reviving this thread because I'm also trying to wrap the transparent roof side rails in amplify orange. I'm surprised this isn't talked about more in general. There's a couple threads on the matter but not much else. Most of those lead to dead ends

Are there any vinyl wraps available that match amplify orange? I believe the original question was never really answered, nor have I personally found an answer on my own.
I may call around to a few wrap shops, see if they can do the job. Ideally I'd like an exact match

I don't recall any specific AO posts regrding your issue (this is a general all OA cars, not just dealing with the transparent roof side colors, which I agree would look much nicer). If you cannot find a great vinyl match, consider having it painted AO on the sides.

I quoted the guy who asked the same question I have. He was looking for a wrap to match AO, so am I. Apologies if that was unclear. Painting is an option I'd like to avoid as it would modify the roof in a permanent way. Really prefer a reversible solution like a wrap or something along those lines.

Did you see the ‘24 has a window to the engine when the rear cover is up. I wonder when that window will continue to the top level.

also, it looks like a new orange color will be coming in ‘25 with the ZR1.

Question for you Amplify Orange owners.... have any of you gone with the Tension Blue/Twilight Blue interior? I know GM says this is non preferred color combination (and will charge $700 for the override to do it)... but I think it looks pretty cool together - and Orange and Blue are considered complimentary colors...... OK, maybe I am crazy, but has anyone done this yet, and if so, willing to share some pics of the two colors together (the visualizer doesn't show the combination in enough detail)... thanks in advance! (I've attached what I get from the build tool)

Does anyone have a similar pic, from a further distance away? Maybe a HTC with the top down?

Another Orange C8 is in town for the weekend only. Can you spot ten things different between mine and Steve’s? Mine is on the right.

The wheels on the Z06 on the left look really cool. Who makes those? I like the design.
