Black chrome looks so sick

Anyone know how much this will cost to do roughly ? I heard black chrome is like 3x the cost of regular vinyl.

i have nothing to back this up, but i was following a facebook conversation about doing black chrome wrap and someone was quoted $7000 to wrap his Audi S5 in this color. i don't know if that cost is taken more from the material used or the labor to install it.

Oh wow, that is so shiny.

Personally, I think it will get old real quick ... like maybe 2 weeks?

Then you'll go, damn, I could have used that $7K to beef up suspension or a set of wheels, or a nice used GSXR1000 ...

the other colored chrome looks a bit gaudy.

Apparently that gold GTR isn't a wrap, that's all hand engraved into the body of the car.

don't forget those photos have been HDR'd
but yes I think it looks nice and if's 100% reversible and to hurt resale value, why not

You think black chrome looks sick? I think it looks good.

7k buys suspension and wheels. Think of a Maserati coupe on some KW coils and some wide LMs.

prelude_prince 02-21-2017 07:46 PM

7k is very expensive, since the material itself isn't expensive. Shop must be charging a lot for labor?

I inquired about red chrome before in Hong Kong and the price of that is not 3x the usual wraps. I would think they're similar.

I like simple black better. These wraps are mostly an eyesore for me. Just cheesy and tacky way to waste more $ for those with excess $ or just plain dumb. $7k can get you way more meaningful things for your car.

7K can't even buy complete MCS 2 ways with our play money exchange rates

The "look at me" starter pack.

Black chrome would look cool on a black car with chrome, and only the actual chrome parts are wrapped.

The rest of the cars posted here are cheesy and look like penis compensation more than anything. The maserati might look cool but I'd have to see a non HDR picture of it
