I've always been ok with the chrome trim since it's dark, but for this might work for people that don't like chrome at all....

What are we looking at? Photoshop, wrap, or an actual aftermarket part?

It's hydrographics actually, does that count as wrap? The entire car appears to be wrapped, the exterior, the roof, the chrome trim.

Inside, they also applied hydrographics as well. It's a bit much to my eyes but I'm sure some will like it:

I had planned on painting the side vents but this is a way better option.

Ha, not sure, but thanks for clarifying. I guess the big thing to compare would be durability. Does either one have an effective lifespan, and start flaking off prematurely? [unbelieveable]

This channel for "Harper shop - South Korea" has three videos that show more, but not the actual process (there are tons of general videos on YouTube of the dipping process, however):

Thanks for that - just "wasted" hours on youtube - fascinating.....anyone know how durable it is? I see its being put on wheel rims so I assume it must be ok?
