Mirrors? roof? grill?

If you have wrapped parts of your 9th gen please post pics and your thoughts(difficulty, appearance, $$).

If not lets discuss what you want to wrap in the future.

What may of may not like good. etc.
 
I'd love to wrap all the exterior chrome on the coupe gloss black, but it's not a priority. Gonna leave with it for now, and see if I gain any appreciation for it.
 
This^^ Not a priority but I've never been much of a fan of chrome. It works on this car especially in white, and it looks great along with the wheels when it's freshly waxed.

But one day it'll likely get wrapped. Interior piano black and chrome trim I would actually like to do as soon as I get the opportunity. Too many smudges and scratches very easily.

Roof would be nice too but even lower on the priority list.

I am a fan of the black roof wrap on white accords an plan on getting it done. I like the chrome bar wraps you did! gives it a nice twist. The decklid im really on the rope about. I honestly feel like i would wrap the entire trunk carbon fiber (not sure how that would like).
 
I saw a Hyundai Genesis coupe wrapped in tinted copper/dark bronze colour. looked very nice. It had black accents and black tints. black on tinted bronze.

What I mean is, the reverse will look good also. dark bronze on black. Kind of Audi S4 style. BUT instead of chrome, bronze/copper color.

just an idea for you.

If I had the money I'd wrap the entire car but wrapping the roof black is on my list. I'd leave the chrome accents on silver since it compliments the car well.

Not my car but I found it off google.

Not a 9th gen but we see another example of a car with only the roof wrapped or painted thank you

I will be doing my roof rap soon. $50 do it yourself vs. $300+ at a shop. Also i am interested in doing the grill and some interior pieces. exterior door handles and mirrors i am on the fence about. Thanks for the input!!!!

I did the black gloss roof on ***.
$80 from amazon you have to get at least 5'x6'... not too difficult but takes some practice if you are DIY.


tried to do the side mirrors with the excess from roof but got too aggressive too many times applying it.
I have found 3M for sale in bulk from many places that sell 60' x 1 ft. for $7-9. I plan on buying 6-9 feet which will be more than enough for the roof and also have extra for other applications.

Nice job on the roof!
 
I did my roof in black. I'd like to black out all the chrome but that would be a little too hard to do around the windows and everything. I'd really like to do the mirrors though, and part of the grille, maybe just the chrome lines through the middle of the grille.

I really like the glossy roof wrap on the *** Coupe. How is the durability for those who've done it? I live in the Northeast and we get some snow here. Will the vinyl stand up to the abuse? I was quoted $350 for 3M 1080 wrap.

i can't comment on durability but the price you were counted is average for pro install. i was quoted $300 at a shop here in VA so i am doing it myself. less than $50 in supplies. If i mess up on the first attempt i literally can attempt multiple times and still save money.
