The name of the place is “Alpha Werks”. Not sure about the size but I think it’s either 7 or 8 inches. I can check tomorrow, I’m typing this in bed right now haha.

Behold my Mach E. Infinite blue premium extended range rear wheel drive.

I added a vinyl grille, stripes, full ceramic coating, and painted the brake calipers red so I can pretend it's a first edition. I got more professional photos taken and was going to upload those but the guy is taking forever to email them to me so here's some from my phone.

Wow, great look. And infinite blue is one of those colors that better in real life. I was surprised the first time I saw one in the color.

This looks amazing. Do you mind if I ask about the ballpark price for the work done? I want to copy your grill and maybe do light gray stripes on my Infinite Blue

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on PPF and am thinking of the vinyl grill cover, too. I noticed they are not precut to size. Did the wrap shop cut it for you and apply, and was it put on over the PPF?
(I'm guessing there was an extra charge for that?)

I like the grill wrap ! The chrome mesh is nicer than 'natural carbon' for lightening up that big space.

what was your source on that? Did you DIY install? any tips if you were going to do it again?

and the red calipers add some pop! I'll have to consider that too for my inf blue.... do you have comments/tips on sourcing or applying high temp caliper paint?

They weren't precut, I had to buy it online (Link here: https://www.struckndesign.com/store...rille_Metallic_Metal_Hexagon_Grid_Mesh.html#/)

The shop cut it for me applied it andhe charged 50 bucks for that. I think it was put under the ceramic coating. Not sure.

It wasn't a DIY, I paid a shop 50 bucks to do it. The shop also did the paint, as you can tell I'm lazy. But it wasn't too expensive for everything,

This looks amazing. Do you mind if I ask about the ballpark price for the work done? I want to copy your grill and maybe do light gray stripes on my Infinite Blue
$1800 for everything. Hood stripes, Grille, full ceramic coating, and red painted calipers.

Thanks. Stripesource.com sells stripes in 7" and 8", and I was wondering which you went with.

I would also like to know the width of the stripes along with the width of space in between them?
Thanks!
I like this look but the space on the hood is very narrow on the MME. I'm still planning it out.

I want to say that I'm not one for stripes or other embellishments—I like understated—but seeing this? You've made a huge case for the other side of the coin. That looks spectacular.

My preference is the strips that are wider at the top to match the couture of the hood. But that is just me.

Awesome looking !! I want to do the same thing with mine. Where did you get the grill and what type of coating was applied?
Classy.

Ditto, I love to get it done. Where in CA did you go?
also, post links for hood grill to buy.
