Back at it.

Half done less mirrors.

Will make one more post highlighting my F-ups so others can avoid them.

And of course it rained the day after I waxed. Whatever.

@BenPrice Which color is yours? I can't find pix of the three colors to make a decision. I'm probably going with matte.

I went with matte! Gloss seems cool too but I’m planning to matte wrap the full car later so went that route.

Adding close up.

Sorry for the dirt, washing later today lol.

Finished most of the delete, got the back and front left to finish. I would say overall it

is Intermediate level DIY. I would rate my finish 90% flawless. But overall , very happy with the finish. I definitely want to thank the Nikola team for their support during my install.

Package came from Nokola Pro!!! So excited! I wiped chrome down with alcohol and proceeded to get the job done. Laid out all pieces. Boy was I lucky there were 2 of each because my husband decided to start it without me. HA! He failed on every part he tried. (He rushed a little). However when I took a crack at it, while it is not the easiest job it was very doable with a little patience.
I love the way the gloss looks with my white pearl paint!! I now have to find a set of black rims. I am also toying with redoing the door handles in white pearl if I can buy those pieces seperately?
The only negative remark that I have is that only the face of theT emblems are covered. So the chrome shows on those and it is noticeable. I have been asked a couple of times why I did not the entire emblem. Other than that I am VERY happy with the look and quality. I can now spot my MX from any I have seen thus far... AWESOME!

I got a kit also from them. Love how they give you an extra set. Came well packed and their DIY videos helped alot. Save myself paying someone else to do it. It was pretty fun.

Just ordered a Satin Black for my 2019 Raven White on White! With this, what would you suggest to do to my wheels? Satin coat as well? and of course going to have the front two windows tinted to match the rears

Satin or gloss black is the way to go imo

Hi,

I have the same color. Just curious is that a satin color for the chrome delete? Also what color did you get for the door handles and cameras? For the rims, did you power coat it glossy or satin black? Car looks awesome!

For Pearl White, what would be the best looking? Satin, matte, or gloss?

Thanks

sweet ride! Did you paint your calipers? Do you know much that cost? Thx

If I upgrade to the Pearl White door handles for $20 do I get 2 pairs?

Anyone have pics of matching door handles by chance?
