@Lawrence Williams So they just wrapped the black chrome surrounding the grill and not all the little rectangles, correct?

Right.....I've called it a BLACK CHROME DELETE.....sideview mirrors and side vents

Gotcha, thanks for clarifying all this for me. Have never had a vehicle vinyl wrapped before and I don't really like the black chrome much. interested to see how long it takes them to wrap all these different areas.

They did my car including de-badging and antenna taking about 8hrs....felt longer ...black chrome should be an option for particular colors but the black makes more sense and far less of a fingerprint magnet! They have the faux vents piano/gloss black but then finish the car with weird pewter/black chrome....

I did, I downloaded your pictures to my phone to show the installers tomorrow what I'd like to have done.

Thanks for the reply.

@Lawrence Williams Do you know how they do the grill without wrapping the giant sensor plate and camera?

I'll probably just plasti-dip the antenna then. I don't want anyone taking down my headliner and breaking anything.

They cut a piece that covers the whole grill then trim it around the trim

The whole day. Dropped it off at 830am and picked up at 430pm. Cost only $300.

WOW! But after looking again, you didn't do the A pillars, or side runners up top plus they changed my badges.....the guy nickel and dime me....either way, looks great!

I thought about having the pillars and runners done but decided against it. My guess is maybe another $30-40 if I did have that done. Based on my measurements I was expecting it to be around $500 when they told me $12 per sq. ft. I am definitely happy with the final price. If I ever decide to get my entire convertible wrapped I'll use them for that vehicle too.

I'll ask my question here too: how did they handle the narrow rubber strips on either side of the drip rails? Supposedly, judging from recent comments about this, those can't be wrapped.

What am I looking at? Did they put the rubber edge strips back on the drip rails unwrapped, i.e. the grey color?

I'll get better pics in the morning or look through previous pics

Looks like they left the rubber strips uncovered. Nobody else has mentioned this before. Hmm. Not sure what to think. Why is that outside one different shades? If that just a pic artifact of some kind?

I'm no expert on drip rails but I'll ask again as I did before, what happens if those gray rubber strips are not there? Mine are actually all black since they were all Halo EFX'd (fancy name for plasti-dip +)
