So I picked up a pair of M3 Turbo S and then did this
« on: 9 Mar 2023, 11:24 pm »
I found this pair on usaudiomart a couple of months ago and wanted to change the color from the standard black to something more my style. I considered painting, but I am no good at it. I decided to have them "wrapped" by a local installer that primarily installs vinyl wraps on cars and trucks.  One of the many benefits of using a wrap over painting, is that is easy to go back to stock color by removing the wrap. FYI the color is MATTE TRENTON BLUE K75544, The material and install came to $160.  The only problem was finding the shop, the job was to small for some. Oh and I am VERY HAPPY with these speakers, will not be changing anytime soon, I appreciate all the wisdom in this forum!  Here they are

It looks like it was very well done. I really like new look, fits the room colors better, and it just looks bloody cool. $160 well spent.

Looks like you got some great results! Did you have to remove the drivers and xover plate to have the wrap done?

kd4ylq,
No the drivers and other parts stayed in place, i did not have them wrap the rear baffle, just the front and 3 sides
