Context of poll?

Black saves you a grand to help pay for the wrap.

Trying to decide which one looks better with the stealth. Ordering my M3 this week and I like the MSM more unwrapped but like you said, I could get the black and have $1k to put towards the wrap.

If you're gonna wrap no reason to waste money on paint imo

It's a clear wrap so you'll see the paint underneath

It's tough!! How did you end up deciding?

Three factors:

1.) Stealth fighter look is black.
2.) Save 1K.
3.) More predictable overall look when combining chrome delete and black wheels.

Thanks, I hope I was helpful and you will be happy with the results of your choice.

I made 3 decisions in addition that were not recommended by the PPF installer but I did anyway. You might change it or do the same depending on your tastes.

1.) Matte for chrome delete versus satin. I wanted contrast versus "body match".
2.) Matte for wheels versus satin. Same as above, I wanted some color contrasts.
3.) I kept the Tesla badges as Chrome. Most "delete it" along with the rest of the car but I think the "Chrome T" is Tesla "iconic". Some go red which matches the calipers but I was satisfied with matching the head/taillights by going silver.

Looks fantastic. I personally like the body matched handles but like the rest of the contrast. How much did just the full stealth wrap cost you?

Pretty awesome. How is the maintenance process? Did you ceramic coat on top of the wrap?
Would you do it again?
