Not hard but took some time and a friend to help out. We dropped the headliner, removed the antenna and then wrapped it. replaced the antenna afterwards.

Advice for wrapping would be to start small and have patience. practice on your door handles/trim to get a fee for the material. Biggest problem we had with the roof was air bubbles due to the amount of space being covered. Took a bit of time and patience to work them all out. This was my first time wrapping too. Those pros on youtube make it look way too easy.

Chrome for me!

Honestly I guess it’s whatever look you’re going for. The blacked out look is dope and looks mean. I like it and thought of possibly doing the same once. But since I went with chrome wheels I thought it best to leave all the hints of chrome on the car as well to pull everything together. Don’t think the black out look would work well in this situation so I say chrome for me. Minus the blacked out license plate cover. Lol!

The chrome looks just great. Helps define the car better than blacked out would

I like the chrome on the OEM. But then again I am no longer a youngster.Wait a minute, I have a Vette with all black out so I guess it depends on the car as far as I’m concerned.
