I want to wrap the silver trim on the Wind but wanted to try something different than just black. I also plan on wrapping the wheels and logo black but haven't gotten to it yet.

I don't like my first attempt. Looks a bit too much red.

So my question is should I leave some red or just murder it?

OMG. Just staring at the red trim for a while made me realize it looks like the original bat mobile.

I vote single red if you don’t want a murdered out EV6.

I have a matte grey FE with a single aluminum stripe btw. I thought two was overkill

M.U.R.D.E.R including slight tint to the headlights, full tint to rear light bar, chrome delete on the rear chrome strip. And, an ultravision film on the windshield.

any tips on doing the side trims? I tried wrapping ( i suck) but that curve trim always give me issues. So ended up plasti-dipping it black. I have a can of red plast-dip but used my black plastidip for now to get rid of the chrome.

I pre-wrapped the ends (the triangle shape ends). I used 1" strip to wrap each section. I lined up the top, knifed the bottom and also knifed the excess ends. The bend wasn't so bad that I was just able to stretch the wrap a bit w/o using any heat.

Also forgot to mention, that the wheel wrap can be bought from ebay. I bought a big sheet to cut myself, but found them precut on ebay. Saves me the time and trouble.
