My Blacked out Green MS

[rsampsonjr]

They have finished the wrap, now the wheels are going to get powder coated and I can pick it up tomorrow. I ordered the black wheel locks from Tesla, but do you know if they sell black lug nuts or where I might could purchase some of those?

 

[rsampsonjr]

Ok, I think I am about finished. Just a few little differences from what you did. Just trying to figure out the rear emblems, may plastidip or de-badge. Here are some pictures:

Does the wrap on the door handles make them any cooler to the touch on hot days? Those suckers can get pretty hot.

 

[rsampsonjr]

My handles will still feel hot, but not as much as without the wrap.

OMG the green with black looks yummy

@rsampsonjr - great job!

looks like your configuration has coils (rather than air) - why did you go that direction? i'm asking because i'm in the same boat.

 

[rsampsonjr]

No, mine is air suspension.

Still haven't decided, huh? Mine should arrive in 2 weeks or so. If you haven't sorted it out by then let me know. I could you out for a little longer ride if you think it'll help.

already at 2 weeks? How exciting. Start the countdown! Have you checked off all the prep items on your list?

-- and I might just take you up on your very kind offer for a ride --

rsampsonjr, hey I recognize that car!!! ...looks great. So with the emblems remember they are just attached by double sided tape. I had the front one plasti dipped and the rear one he actually painted the sides black and then wrapped the front (if you can call it that) with CF....Did you also go the two-tone route on the side view mirrors (CF on the very outer chrome piece, matte black on the inside connected to the trim around the door)? I think breaking it up looks great, although likely great all matte black. I also had the bottom of the nose cone painted to match the car, huge improvement IMO. here are a couple pics:

Glad to have been an inspiration to any green machines out there (remember that big wheel? loved that thing growing up)

BTW, recently got the Rial Lugano's back after powder coating with Michelin X-Ice Xi3's for my winter tires...

 

[rsampsonjr]

Yes, CF on the mirrors along with black. My black isn't matte though. I also have CF on the front lip, the sides, and rear, essentially anything below where the green stops is CF, except for the rear valance chrome which is now black. I got black wheels locks from Tesla and they now sell black lug nut covers (at least the service center sold them to me) which I purchased too.

Here you can so they cf on the front and side:

Here you can see the mirror:

Looks good, I went with black matte on the side blinkers...definitely get those lug covers in black

I love the black 19" rim !!!! :love:
Will probably do the same on my black S85 !!

The blacked out chrome looks great. What's a ballpark price for wrapping all the chrome?

 

[SBerg]

I blacked-out my chrome around the windows and want to do the door handles. I currently have just the outer surface covered but want to totally wrap the handles. Any info on how the handles were wrapped? (I.e., one piece or two and if two, how do the pieces overlap or join-up?)

it looks great! beats the Green Hornet's car
:wink:

Not much, depends on the type of wrap, i think the chrome pieces were $200-300 bucks, the CF wrap pieces cost more b/c the CF wrap cost more. Total wrap job I think was $750ish

My installer did a pretty good job I felt. the 'seam' is on the inside of the handle, towards the bottom. I believe he used on piece of wrap, that he cut as he wrapped that handle...and you don't feel the seam because the part of the wrap piece coming underneath the door handle is under the pieced folded over the top, so you don't really feel it.
