Runoff will mostly go below the drip rails, I am sure. Probably not good! I just took a couple of pics of my left and right drip rail rear ends, up really close. What I originally took for light grey, unpainted (and thus not noticed against the Silky Silver before), I'm now suspecting is Silky Silver spray paint alright. I guess I didn't look at them closely enough before (and the light was not the best, being deep evening).
That’s why I plastidipped mine.
The rails are not the questionable part; it's the rubber strips running down each side of them. Those can't be wrapped, so I read a few days ago.
One of these days maybe I'll pry mine loose to have a peek underneath. Those rubber side strips don't exactly seal tightly against the roof panel. I'd kind of like to remove the Halo EFX and just wrap them black. But it would be so much easier without those rubber strips.
I only dust my car once a day, usually before driving. That black spec will be gone!
Looks great NIU! Shit....add a full black chrome delete to my to-do list lol. I was strongly considering it when I saw Lawrence's car and now seeing it on the HCR I'm sold! That's a great price to have all of that done too! Damn....does this modding shit ever end??? This is the first car I've cared enough about to personalize with modifications and this is turning into a disease...CAN'T STOPPPPP! Talk about opening Pandora's box jeeeeeeez. Ok...I'm gonna do the chrome delete and the Eibach sway bars then I'm done
Hey Lawrence, I was wondering what you had done to your rims. Those appear to be the stock but they’re gloss black. Did you get them painted or wrapped?
Fascinating coincidence: I just came from another (resurrected) thread about blacking out the OE wheels. You get an "A" on your first post.
Welcome to the forum.
Haha I appreciate the “A”! They look great so I was wondering. I’m leaning towards doing something like that with mine. About how much did it cost you?Fascinating coincidence: I just came from another (resurrected) thread about blacking out the OE wheels. You get an "A" on your first post.
My OE wheels are powder coated. The KIA caps are painted.

Did they not wrap down far enough to cover the white you see on the back edge of the roof? My biggest fear is seeing white though the door jambs or the hatch opening.
I just had this done a few months back to my SWP. I replaced the white drip rail trim with black OEM replacements. They are a bit metallic but I went with a black camo textured roof.

I sold my Stinger about a year ago. It's possible to wrap that fin with it still on. But it will also compromise the roof wrap too as he wouldn't be able to get the wrap all the way under the fin. The people who wrapped my car also wrapped the trim and it held up pretty good.
Very nice, I like the extra black in back.. did they remove the fin to wrap it? My Kia dealer parts guy told me you can't ordered painted drip rails, I was looking for the black ones, I have a hard time believing thatI just had this done a few months back to my Snow White Pearl.
