i believe the correct wrap color would be black titanium but I got gloss black all the way around.
Thank you! I'll check out the Park Place Salon on the Eastside.

that is very cheap for a wrap, done by a shop.
i started wrapping things inside, and it's pretty awesome. I wouldn't wrap whole car myself, yet, as I'm still playing and le a rning. Quality material would be around 500$, for Metallic, shiny crazy awesome colours, plus manhours. A good pro can do your car r in few hours. 7 doesn't have crazy lines, pretty bland. Normally they ask 2k-3k for the job around here.
wh8ch is a lot,IMHO.

Again, very tempting, especially if you plan on keeping the c a r for the long run, it breaths new soul into it.

Cheers
Bob

Looks awesome. Where did you get this done? Did you try to match the oem black optics package colour? How about the front grille?

This looks great. I’m still not sure if I want to go gloss black all around or go with the OEM black optics color (looks dark grey). Do you have a close up of the front grill? I’d love to see the front fascia of the car with gloss black. Thanks!!

Here it is in all its glory. I believe the original black optics color is black titanium. I’m at work so if you want better pictures let me know and I’ll get some better ones tonight.

I wonder how those quattro inserts in the front and rear doors would look wrapped in carbon fiber. They look sweet in carbon on the right color Porsche Macan...

Thanks! Had it done from Wraptors Inc. in Okaville, ON. it is a black optics package and i wanted to avoid too many colors... next is to smoke tint the lights.

Neither, wrapping or painting chrome trim is a cheap cheezy non-durable method that will look really bad in time when it starts to peel.

Just got the wheels powder coated. I’m going to wrap some of the silver trims starting with the blades on doors!

Powder coating looks good.. do you have all seasons on the rims?
