$68 IND Cosmetic package? I think I'm gonna try that out. Great work!!

cmhsam · 01-07-2013, 08:53 AM

How much time did you spend doing the wrap etc? Time is money right

DesertEagle50 · 01-07-2013, 11:38 AM

Hmm I spent over $500.00 for that look... well played sir.

chudak18 · 01-07-2013, 11:47 AM

Nice move. I had my vinyl shop do the same for me... Approximately $50... But i did all the removing and reinstalling. Looks very legitimate.

mwlmd · 01-07-2013, 11:50 AM

Damn.

Nice, Sakhir Orange FTW!

Very Nice! Interested in hearing step by step process of the chrome door handle inserts when you get a chance.

Has anyone done white vinyl or white plasti dip on the handle chrome on a white car? The black just doesn't look right to me on Alpine white.

Timberwolf · 01-07-2013, 07:30 PM

That looks great! Is it adhesive? Love it, and was going to just do IND stuff lol...

clean up first and cut a piece can fit the part, then put on and use the hairdryer to heat up the film, its gonna be really soft, find a card like a credit car or any use the corner to push film in the gap, and cut rest off.. Dont know if this can help

I tried this. Bought a piece of white vinyl online and did a quick test. It did not match AW in color exactly...but it did look good. I also tested the black, and IMO I don't think it looks right either. So, I am going IND painted to get a perfect match or possibly just keeping the hint of chrome.

I am going to try some vinyl. Local shop has a couple different "whites". I will see if one is close enough. The handle exchange is just too much of a bother for such a small change.

If you get something that is a close match, please post!

Did you do it with the chrome strip taken off the handle ?

smashhell · 01-08-2013, 02:09 AM

Nice! Can I see a picture of your whole car?
