| 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.

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.

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

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.

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
