cizzink11 Member 352 Member For: 12y 7m 12d Gender: Male Posted 24/08/12 10:03 AM Share Posted 24/08/12 10:03 AM Hey guys, I bought a brand new xr8 bonnet aftermarket steel which came primed black. I currently have this up for sale as a expression of interest but I am seriously considering just putting it on. I was looking for suggestions about what I should so with it. I was thinking of going over it with a matte black to really make the lines in the bonnet stand out or vynil wrapping the bonnet in carbon. All suggestions welcome as to where I should get the work done would be appreciated and what prices I would expect.Wrapture styling offers $350 for a wrap, streetfx offered $250 for the same wrap.
