My latest MOD...
Had my roof 'wrapped' initially and the company did a terrible job. Lasted two days and then I couldn't contain myself and pealed it all off. Sent it to the paint shop and 'WOOHOO'. Mint job all round, went with factory BMW colour JET Black.
All I have to do now is 'IND' it with some front and side grills plus one of those nice looking flat bottom steering wheels ;-) Last edited by Head; 03-21-2013 at 04:51 PM.. |

That looks great, and as others have done you included the side trim pieces which really finishes off the pleasant effect of the black color. Excellent photos to show off the paint change.

Very nice. What did it cost you to get it painted (if you don't mind me asking). My wrap was well done and has had no issues yet, but not sure how it will age.

IND quoted me $450 for the roof and two narrow side molding in gloss black. It's a bit of a drive for me to their shop, but I trust them more than an untested local shop. Much more of a drive for you!

Yeah, the paint looks so much better. Went through the same thing myself. Paint is nice and glossy and flows well with the trim. The IND stuff is super high quality. Go for it.
