    No. i can see someone wanting to do it but it doesn't make much sense nor would it really be appealing. The point of them being paint a different color is because of potential chipping and scratching from the debris being thrown off the wheels. Two it adds definition to the look and lines.

    In the end though, to each their own!!!!

    I was quoted an xpel price of 1900 and 699 to wrap the windshield. That was front fenders bumper mirrors and clear bra but not a full hood.

    I haven't done it yet though.
