Question about wraps
Fairly certain going with Arctic white. I like the way the car looks with the roof and nacelles carbon flash as well as leaving them body color.
I was thinking of saving the 1300 bucks initially and staying body color and if I changed my mind get the parts wrapped later.
Anyone know what ball park cost would be?
Pros, cons, comments?

To clarify, I do not have one yet. 95% sure it will be AW.
Again, the question is to go ahead and get the nacelles/roof carbon flash OR save 1300 on an option that I may be able to do without with the option of doing a wrap for the same/similar look later if I chose.

The best thing to do is call some professional wrap shops in your area for a quote. You don't state where you live so any guess at a price probably won't be relative. However, my general guess would be $600 plus.

If you were totally set on it I would say go with the factory option. But it sounds like you are a little unsure so I say get it wrapped afterwards. If you change your mind down the road or just find that you don’t care for it you can just have it removed.

Check out this thread. I think once you see how the white looks with the black on the halo / nacelles you'll want to do it. Many different variants on how far down people take the wrap. They all look good to me.

I ordered my HTC body colored top and If I change my mind I’ll just wrap it and for probably half of GM option and if I don’t like it I can just remove it on the other hand if you get the factory black color top then that’s it because it’s paint

True. One of the few things I am dead set on is that the car must be an HTC.
