Need Wrap Advice

Hello All,

Seeking some help when it comes to wrapping body trims.
1. live in Phoenix and do not have the luxury of a garage, any idea of the durability of the wrap in the 120-degree sun?
2. I have 2018 blue Maxima, with chrome body trim, and I hate chrome, hate it... any recommendations on color and finish to complement the blue? black is an option but I feel like I will burn my skin off in the summer
3. tinting in the next few weeks, going with a high-grade ceramic. thinking 35 in the front and 25 in the back, any thoughts?
Thanks in advance

Good call on the ceramic, I live in Phoenix too and it made such a difference before and after. I went 25 front and back just cause I like uniform look better than them being different. But everyone's different

The front end of your still looks pretty good for being 2 years old! Mine is super pockmarked from rocks on the 17 and 101.

Can you post a pic of your tint so I can get an idea how dark it is

I love chrome. Covering it undefines the great lines of the Max

Never thought of it that way. I'll hold off for now unless it really starts to bother me

I agree with Rob. Chrome complements the car design really well unless it is way overdone and that's not the case with the Max.
