    My white 100D X is getting completely wrapped in matte clear bra, window tinted, and getting satin black chrome delete. Next is the wheels. Anyone have vendor recommendations for wheel powder coating in Phoenix area? Should I do satin black like the chrome delete or do a gloss black? How about achieving a black chrome finish and color by powder coating?

    I recommend Apex customs, they wrapped my car with clear bra (fenders, hood, lights, bumper,mirrors) as well as tint, calipers and wheels. I went with satin black. As a girl I wasn’t sure if I was going to like the black wheels but I love them! They do all work in the shop. I did have to get my tires balanced afterwards even though they did include it. I would definitely go back to them.

    I used Express Powder Coatings & Wheel Repair in Glendale. They did a good job and the price was reasonable, $100/wheel
