Default Targa Owners: Anyone wrap their rollbar?

I am contemplating having my rollbar wrapped in Miami Blue to match the rest of the car - anyone else have their rollbar wrapped? I looked around online but did not see any. I somewhat like the Satin Black it is now, and much more than the Silver ones; however, it might look good in the same color. I also plan to get the owers on my SD mirrors wrapped and maybe the little section between the tailpipes as well.

No way dude. Don’t do it.

Your vehicle might be the absolute nicest looking I’ve seen. And it’s the contrast with that blue that makes it pop.

There’s a reason for that.

There is a first time for everything! Keep in mind that I am talking about wrapping and not painting, which I have done on other cars, and if I don't like it I can have it removed. My wife thinks I should leave it Black but if I listened to her and many here I would not even have a Miami Blue car and the interior would be boring and not have all of the painted pieces. For example, I have not seen anyone painted the 3 silver steering wheel inserts and I love the way mine look. But I still want to get an idea of what it looks like before I have it done so I guess that means I am having second thoughts (for now)!

Liquid wrap/plasti dip would probably be easier.

I am waiting to hear back from a couple installers but I did find some new wrap: https://www.apafilms.com/miami-blue/

If plan to do the mirror lowers for sure and maybe the rear section but the rollbar is what I am really debating. Again, worst case if I take it off it I don't like it but if I do I only need to change/reverse my avatar.

I applied Gyeon Quartz Matte to the wheels and rollbar and retains the stock look. The PPF will not work because the roof will make contact with the rollbar and I presume will wrinkle or mess up the film.

Interesing...I will watch the roof operation very closely before I decide.

Otherwise, I would love to see a photoshop picture to help me decide.

I did, I think it looks great, and it is 100% reversible by just peeling it off. Looks much sleeker than silver on my 2016 Targa GTS, but to each their own of course.

I think it looks good but it may depend on the color of car since the targa rollbar can already be had in black. And your spoiler is up.
