- Gloss black door handle chrome delete vinyl wrap
- Tinted / smoked head lights vinyl wrap
- Tinted/ smoked tail lights
- Tinted / smoked fog lights vinyl wrap

We offered a complete chrome black out package for this black Tesla Model X SUV, getting rid of all of the chrome trim pieces on it and also adding some subtle touches with the tint on the lights all around the car. The before and after of the car was a night and day difference and really gave the Tesla a much sportier aggressive styling to it. The tint film is light enough so that the light output through the film is still very visible even during the day. We varied the areas with both matte black and gloss black to still give the car some contrast, especially since the car was black to begin with. The owner of this car was in Lake Forest, Orange County and I came out to them to do the entire wrap work on their new Tesla.

Overview:
- Matte black front grill plasti dip
- Matte black fog light trim plasti dip
- Matte black rear badges plasti dip
- 5D high gloss carbon fiber front center lip vinyl wrap
- 5D high gloss rear diffuser vinyl wrap
- Gloss black window trim vinyl wrap
- Tinted / smoked rear tail lights

This white Audi S8 sedan had a lot of chrome / aluminum finish pieces all around the exterior of the car, so to help clean it up a bit and to give it a sportier look that's fitting of the S model. For this car, we ended up blacking out the chrome window trim and rear trunk bar in gloss black, plasti dipping the badges, front grill and lower fog light trim pieces, tinting the rear tail lights, and then adding some carbon fiber accents on the front lip and balancing it out with doing the rear diffuser as well. I always like doing wrap work on bigger bodied cars, cause most people don't generally look at such big cars as being sporty, so it really sets the car apart from the crowd.

Overview:
- Gloss black roof vinyl wrap

To compliment the already gloss black wheels and other gloss black accents on this white BMW F32 328i coupe, we went with a gloss black roof wrap on the car to tie everything together and completing the look. The owner of this car was in West Hollywood Los Angeles and brought their car out to us in Orange County to do the wrap work. The install was very straight forward and gave the car an OEM+ type look, making it seem/look like the black roof could have been an option from the BMW dealership.

- Gloss black roof wrap
- Gloss black chrome grill surround wrap
- Matte black lower center bumper grill wrap
- Gloss black window trim chrome delete wrap

The Lexus RC-F is already a great looking car, but the chrome window trim and grill pieces on the car really takes away from the aggressive look of the RC-F. For this white Lexus RC-F, we blacked out the chrome window trim, front grill, lower front bumper grill lip, and also the roof. We went with matte black around the grill surround, but did gloss black in the center lip portion to give the two some contrast, which worked out nicely. The owner of this car was in Los Angeles and brought it out to us in Orange County to have the wrap work done.

Overview:
- Gloss black vinyl roof wrap
- Tinted / smoked tail lights

For this Audi A4 B7 Sedan, we wrapped the roof of his car in my gloss black vinyl material and also lightly tinted / smoked the tail lights on the car. The tail lights were actually fairly dull and almost a matte finish before wrapping them, which can be seen in one of the close up pictures of the rear tail light. However, I was able to bring life back into them again and make them possibly even glossier / shinier than they were brand new from the factory. So even for those who are not looking to necessarily change the look of their car up, I am also able to vinyl wrap certain pieces/parts on the car to help restore certain faded/oxidized finishes. The owner of this car was from Fullerton brought his car to me in Anaheim Hills / Orange County to have the vinyl work done.

Overview:
- Gloss black window trim vinyl wrap
- Gloss black side skirt vinyl wrap
- Gloss black lower front lip vinyl wrap
- Gloss black rear lower bumper trim vinyl wrap
- Tinted rear tail lights and rear lower bumper reflectors
- Plasti dip front grill with glossifier
- Tinted front grill emblem
- Plasti dip rear emblem with glossifier
- Plasti dip rear exhaust tips with glossifier


I did the vinyl wrap and plasti dip work on this grey Mercedes Benz C63s coupe during one of my trips up to norcal / bay area to do wraps in that area. We blacked out every chrome / silver trim piece on the car, from the front grill to the rear exhaust tips. To keep everything as matching as possible, for the plasti dipped pieces, we used a glossifier on top of the standard matte black finish of the plasti dipped pieces. The convertible has a lot more silver/chrome pieces than a standard sedan/coupe would, but we wrapped every single area, so that even when the top was down, everything was blacked out and stayed consistent. To tie everything in, we topped it off by lightly tinting the rear tail lights and rear reflectors to tone down the brightness of the redness.

Overview:
- 3M 1080 anthracite gloss carbon fiber interior trim vinyl wrap

For this 2016 Audi A7 sedan, we wrapped over the original wood trim pieces with the 3M 1080 CFS201 anthracite carbon fiber vinyl material. Getting rid of the wood look on the interior trim really upgraded the look of the overall interior, giving it a sportier look and feel. I especially liked the way the carbon fiber wrap worked with the aluminum metal trimming that were already on the wood pieces, giving it a nice balance of carbon fiber and metal.
