I experience my MS every day, yet I never tire of looking at the pictures other people take of their own.

A beauty! What's the effect on range of driving with windows down and pano open at 40-50mph?

Inspired by franknesss' Model S, I had the chrome trim blacked out with glossy vinyl on my red P85D when it went in for full Xpel wrap and window tint at Northwest Auto Salon.
I absolutely love the look. The gloss black trim looks like it came from the factory. It ties in nicely with the gloss black pieces along side of the pano roof. Tesla should totally offer black chrome as a factory option.
Note, the car is super glossy with the Xpel, as you can see from the first photo. For whatever reason, it just looks matte under the diffused lighting of the photo booth.

Wow ... This is by far the best looking MC Red Tesla that I have seen. So mean looking yet elegant at the same time. If you don't mind, I'm going to do the same chrome delete on my MC Red P85D. Just so we won't be twin :tongue:, I don't have the same Turbine wheels, but aftermarket wheels. Will post pics once done.

Thanks! Yes, it definitely looks serious.
By all means, feel free to do the same. After all, I borrowed the idea from user "frankness" up-thread. If enough of us do this maybe Tesla will offer it as a factory option some day.

They are - wrapped with the same gloss black vinyl. Likewise, the side indicators (turn signals) are wrapped as well.
I opted to leave the front and back Tesla "T" logos, "Model S", and "P85D" emblems chrome. The detailer did a really nice job cutting out the "TESLA" letters on the chrome piece on the liftgate, which I think really pops. Aside from those, all other chrome is wrapped.

Didn't get a pic of it but I saw a Model S this evening that was the standard dark blue on the right side and a much lighter blue on the other! Seen in Mountain View, CA.

Thanks EarlyAdopter. Your car looks awesome. The gloss black compliments your wheels. Tastefully done! I like it.

Very nice! I think I will copy your setting lol. Did you apply the black gloss over the xpel ultimate? I am also curious about your interior setting, mind sharing it?
There is Xpel on top of the gloss black on the door handles and side mirrors, same places the detailer normally applies it for full Xpel wraps. This should help protect it from chips and scratches as the black gloss vinyl is rather fragile and prone to scratching, unlike the Xpel. Too bad Xpel doesn't make a self healing black gloss product.
My interior is black next gen seats, black headliner, and carbon fiber trim.

EA - Can I get an upclose photo of the handles (extended). I want to see how the application looks as I'm also interested in a vinyl wrap.
Where did you get it done?
