Chrome delete questions/opinions wanted

[Random386]

Thanks. Yep, trim is wrapped in gloss black vinyl.

How much did the purple wrap cost you?

I look forward to seeing how you personalize your Stinger.

I never really thought to personalize a car. It is a car, just a car. I suppose I could have my forum name "stung cb" painted on the door.

I'm an old guy (68) and I hate the look of chrome. I don't think its an age thing as much as it just personal taste. No right or wrong, you do you and I'll do me.

Did you hate the look of chrome back in 1968 ??

If you like the chrome, then all the power to ya! Funny to me that you would own a Stinger. So much more raw character from the old muscle cars!!

I luv my Stinger and all its chrome and brushed aluminum. I wouldn't have bought it if it was all blacked out. You are so right regarding more raw character in a muscle car. I'd have another in a heartbeat but I'm out of garage room and it wouldn't do well in the snow.

Wrap

Very happy with my chrome delete. Got tired of all the water spots while maintaining too.
Some before and after shots...

Did you do it yourself or take it to the shop?

$600. That included side mirrors, window trim, front grilles (including bumper removal), side brake vents, the thin pieces on the front vents and hood vents and amber delete on headlights.

Im in Socal as well. Which shop did you use?

I'm an old guy but, when did chrome become a no and the all black Mad Max look take over?
One more time......I'm an old guy (60's muscle car days) Only those who had bad interior/exterior trim or corroded, rusty wheels would paint them black. Chrome, polished alum. or mags were king back then. Long live the King.

I like chrome on old cars, but for some reason, I absolutely HATE chrome on new cars outside of 1) headlights 2) exhaust tips and 3) wheels. The dark chrome on Stingers and G70s just looks cheap to me.

The lower front grill not being included in the CF package, also drives me mad. I think I might get it wrapped ratherthan spend $800 on a grill

In that area but not right next to it unless they moved.

While not silver, here's chrome delete on black.View attachment 38818

Did you do a wrap for your chrome delete? I want my black stinger to be blacked out just like this but not sure whats best to do for the chrome delete and yours looks really good!

 

[Stoicc]

Sorry for the delayed reply.

Yes, I used gloss black on all of the factory "chrome" trim. Powdercoat was used on the wheels and exhaust tips. The wheel caps were also painted and the lenses were all done in a charcoal candy then cleared. Here are some other angles.View attachment 41784 View attachment 41785 View attachment 41786 View attachment 41787 View attachment 41788

Damn this thing looks good! How much did all of this cost you? I think i'm going to do the exact same thing to mine now! And did you just use a local tinting shop?

I blacked out all the chrome and am very happy with how it turned out. The idea of satin gray in some places though doesn't sound bad at all.
