White model S rims and calipers wrapped, chrome deleted

[LVGhost]

Calipers look great! What made you choose a wrap over paint?

Do you have more pics of the car from farther away? I'd like to see how the chrome delete looks with the whited out handles and emblem.

I took some more pics this morning. Kind of overcast but you get the picture.

Sweet mods. Looks like you did a badge delete as well. How about a picture of the rear and front dead-on?

I'm in the process of getting the rear T Sprayed black. I'll take a pic after I get it done.

Looks really good. I like the dark tint with the dark wheels. Too bad I can't get away with that tint where I live. Well done.

That's really cool, I didn't know they could wrap rims and calipers!

You can. The last time it came up someone posted the specs of the caliper wraps, which are good to 210*F/100*C. Our calipers are rated to 200*C, and you start vaporizing your fluid around 250*C. 100*C is pretty low for a brake product, so you should probably stay off the track if you have your calipers wrapped. Likely fine for normal use.

It is strange that 3M seems to have distanced themselves from this product. They took down the product's website and scrubbed their own site of all mentions of it. What's that about? Is it discontinued?

The cool thing is if you change your mind it's pretty easy to change the look.

Thank you, much appreciated.

Good thing I never use the brakes

I love your taste in color coding on your Model S. I've heard of people having trouble with chipping on wrapped wheels, but those look great!! Keep us updated on other modifications!

Will do!

Great choices. This is similar to what I did to my last car. The name for this style is:

STORMTROOPER!

Hope you have AWD

Next try white calipers. Everybody has red!

What a beauty, I ordered a White 90D and I am thinking about wrapping just the front of the car. Any recommendations in the SF Bay Area?

Do you mean with a clear bra?

 

[acarlos1000]

Yes, Clear Bra, I am more concerned about yellowing over time, specially on a white car.

I think a lot of the higher end companies offer warranties against yellowing.
