Model S Chrome Delete

[Tuma0650]

Has anyone in the Philadelphia area had their chrome wrapped by a local shop. I see the chrome delete kits online, but I think I would prefer to have this done professionally. I am also looking for a ballpark on what this should cost. I am looking for Satin Black
Thanks

I did mine myself with the TeslaBros kit; it is NOT for the faint of heart and not near as easy as they make it look in their YouTube tutorials. I spent FOREVER doing it and would recommend just paying a pro. It seems the going rate is $1,000-1,500

I got pricing on yelp, mostly detail shops. In CA pricing is about $600 and up.

I bought a roll and tried it myself, did OK But pull it off because I cut one tiny area too short. Hardest part is the mirrors but if you use knife less tape it makes it easier.

Did anyone do a carbon fiber chrome delete on MC red and have pictures?
I want to know if carbon fiber looks better than glossy black.
My car already has carbon fiber spoiler and mirror covers.

All of the cool kids go with satin black.

Thanks Ostrichsak.
Did you use a DIY kit or got it done by a professional?
If you used a DIY kit, please let me know which one used, Nikolapro or from Teslabros?
The kit from Nikolapro seems "relatively" easier to install but it has more seams.

+1 for this. I'm interested in seeing if anyone has wrapped the chrome in CF to match the spoiler / interior performance CF.

I think the main problem with the carbon fiber look is that it’s obviously fake. I’d go with sarin black

 

[umamahesh9999]

Makes sense. Thanks guys.
I just got the kit from Nikolapro and started installing. Will post pictures once I am done.

Hi Ostrichsak
Black bumper in the front of your car. Is that something you installed?
Also the piece below the doors on my car is red whereas you have black (which looks better).

Thanks

I paid $900 in NY which is reasonable for such an expensive state Satin black as others have mentioned is what I went with.

Black bumper in the front of my car? Sounds like maybe you have a newer Model S that has the refreshed front end w/o the nosecone and the lower portion on the side is color-keyed.

Nice. Where in NY did you go? I just did mine with Plastidip and really happy with the look, but I don’t see it lasting too long.

I did a bunch of other work, so I might have gotten a better price because of that. I went to Tinting Motors in Farmingdale. Highly recommend.
