Highly recommend the 'stealth' wrap

BMW DIY Guy · 05-20-2022, 11:14 AM

Instead of getting my clear partial wrap renewed as it was showing wear, and starting to peel, I went for the full car wrap.

You can do the 'stealth' wrap which will change the color to look like the OEM frozen paint, but without all of the hassle of actually maintaining that paint! I am beyond happy with this new setup, and looks just gorgeous!

Just wanted to share.. Prestige Auto Salon in Seattle are frickin' amazing in their work!

BMW DIY Guy that's looks pretty frickin awesome...and that's coming from someone who usually isnt too enamored by the frozen look.

Thanks! I really fell in love with the look AND wanted a full car wrap to protect the paint. So.. just fell off the truck and went for it!

Was it intentional to leave the roof rail and mirrors gloss?

It was yes.. helped break up the monochromatic, and the mirrors are (re)wrapped clear.

Would you mind sharing how much it cost?

It really depends on the car but $5500 and up, from a really good shop.

Looks mean, I like it! Those body lines really pop now

Nice. How does it do with dirt though? I find these matte wraps absorb dirt and can make the car quickly look 'mouldy'

So not bad so far, but then again my car is always garaged which might make a difference.

These wraps in particular are actually PPF and not the traditional colored vinyl wraps. They are designed with maintenance and protection in mind so they're easy to clean and can take more abuse than your typical vinyl wrap.

It looks like they did an amazing job

This look is growing on me. Think I’m going this route instead of repainting front bumper when it comes time.

Damn dude looks mean as hell. I dig it alot!

Here is my HS wrapped in xpel stealth!

I've decided that matte/satin silver is my new favorite color, especially after seeing on the M4 CSL. It just WORKS.

hAxel · 09-22-2022, 10:30 AM

Love the stealth on the black. Here is my LBB with xpel stealth.

I wanted this for my car until I got wheels that I don't think would work well with it. Looks fantastic.
