Painted Body Molding

[BAD430BENZ]

So my vehicle was hit in a parking lot and , shockingly , they did not leave a note or stick around . Took it to the bodyshop and had it fixed and went ahead and did a few extra things while it was there . Looks way better in person and I like the all white , cleaner look . I will be switching the wheels but here it is for now............

The exhaust tips look sweet. Where are those from?

The guys that did the x-pipe and muffler delete also installed the tips . They are stainless and super dirty . Thinking about possibly powder coating them satin black .

Not a fan of the painted trim myself. We have a Star White also and admittedly I was waiting for someone to take the plunge so I could see what the transformation would look like. I like the profile but prefer the contrast on front/rear. To each their own as always. I also like the tips! Tell us more about the hood louvers...

Hood louvers are from a '13-'14 Mustang . Small cut and then stick on for now . Will be switching to the look of the Trackhawk after a while . Just juggling the thought of whether I want the heat extractor hood with or without the ram air .

I’m liking your existing wheels. Looks good on there! I am curious on how the paint will hold up on the trim. Even at 4000 miles I have a little rash on mine

I love my wheels also but I want to change the look now that it's painted . That and the fact that numerous people are going to this similar style on wheels . Good news for someone is that I am going to go to a 22x10.5 so this whole set will be available for sale soon . I am going to make someone a great deal !

As far as the trim goes , it can be repainted if it starts getting ugly .

I love the white painted trim.. gives the vehicle a more upscale look and sets it apart from every other SUV with black plastic trim around the wheel wells.

Looks incredible... Love every aspect of the body molding.

How much would you say it would cost just to have the black painted body color? Body shops in Boca Raton are way overpriced just trying to get a feel for it.

Thank you very much !

I thought the same thing about the painted trim looking more refined .

Probably cheaper to ship the vehicle to me in El Paso and have it done and shipped back to you....lol

I got 2 quotes ( 1 from my friends bodyshop and the other was from a random baodyshop ) and they both came in at $600.00 .

Wow! That’s a lot cheaper than I’m getting quotes to get the roof wrapped

I haven’t priced the whole thing but I’ve been getting $1,000 to $1,800 for just the roof

They get five grand down here to wrap the entire car.

My friend's bodyshop does it all . He handles all the bodyshop side and his wife handles all the wraps . She even does the wraps herself . I was quoted around $2300.00 to wrap the whole ST .

Glad I live in a border town !
