yeah took them off and wrapped and didnt like how it turned out so i painted them. it makes it alot easier to wrap the doors also.
also painted the door handles and mirrors. they were way to dificult to wrap.

Nice jerbear, looks ill man.
Guess I'll update with a photo as well, hasn't been washed since December, but it isn't too bad from far away.
All I have left is to re-wrap the hood (piece on there is ripped) and to wrap the spoiler and clean it up. Hope to get a little more work done this weekend, but school and work is killing me right now and there is no time for the LS.

I agree Soopa, I am torn.. I have the McLaren and stuff ready to go black out style (well... gloss black).
But the chrome accents is a nice contrast.
Luckily I am going to be using plasti dip with gloss to paint the wheels - this way I can see if I like the look and can rip it off. My wheels catch a lot of people's eyes I have noticed - and with them black I feel like they would be less striking.

Yeah I am not sure I want to flat black my Antera's either because I think that will take the flavor out of the wheels. I dunno I guess that's why we play around with plasti dip, nothing is permanent that way lol
Would be cool to have two different 'modes' blackout mode and a contrasted mode where you could put your lse grille/bumper chrome strip/machine finished wheels on. Flip between them whenever you want a change lol

I blurred the ugly background a bit. It was an iphone photo, so the quality was pretty bad with all that was in frame.
Soopa, I hear ya on that! basically can do that with plasti-dip, obviously it is more than just switching on the fly, and it will be in long durations. But the ability to swap between the two will be great.

No. It doesn't look right. It distracts from the wrap. I think black would be better (or chrome waterfall grille). If you ever take the wrap off, those grilles may still look good black. You can put some electrical tape on the bottom grill real quick and see what it looks like and compare to this picture. I have a black on black grill you can put on to test with if you want.

Andrizzle, that looks real good. I really like the contrast you got going on with with lse grille, bumper trim, and the wheels. I say leave as is!
jerber, it does look a little off. I would say get an lse grille or go for an all black look. The grille just doesnt look right having the water fall in anything besides black or chrome.

yeah thats why i was asking. i got bored one day and decided to try it. haha
I think it just looks unfinished. I don't think the contrast is right in this case.

Imageshack just butchers the quality of these things...
But anyways here are some shots of where it's at right now. First wash since December!
Ignore the unwrapped top of the front bumper, still have to do that. Also ignore the tear in the hood (photo quality dumbed down makes this hard to see).
First set here is the LS next to the girlfriend's new Maxima.
She has 30% tint on the windshield, I have 35%.
Next are some night shots, my camera lied to me and set it had full battery, then after 2 shots it was red. So these are rushed.
Imageshack makes these way darker than they are... The hi-res ones look sick.
This is a shot of my new HIDs I just put in, I know it is blinding the camera. But I am finally done with LED fogs! :shifty:
Hope to get the hood rewrapped over springbreak, as I have zero freetime right now. Also the spoiler will be wrapped and put back on as well.

Looks bangin' man.
For some strange reason, i think the wrap makes your car look skinner, if that makes sense.
I like how you took the corner spot - smart man. BTW, I am not fond of Nissans, but that sexima looks sharp.
