I might be convinced to do a single sheet of black wrap over hood to reduce glare like some airplanes (and cheetahs) do. I generally like the idea of keeping stainless
Look at the hood… It is on the same plane as the windshield. There is NO way for there to be glare from the hood in your eyes. If you want to wrap the hood to look like a plane, cool. But if you’re doing it because you are afraid of glare, save your money.

You are quite correct. I think it is that angle of incidence thing. you could only get glare from a horizontal hood when the sun is on the horizon. As the hood is angled down on the CT the reflected light angles upward away from the windshield. Call it a feature.

That $1 million Lusso looks like a styrofoam cup caught in the wind compared to the CT. ?
And it looks and sounds like a worn out bucket of bolts. Truely a Rude Goldberg contraption compared to the futuristic Cybertruck (or any EV for that matter). I instinctively held my breath as the cameraman walked around towards tha tailpipe.

When you talk Ferraris, you’re talking to my heart. Pininfarina makes some of the most beautiful pieces of rolling art out there. But just as cubism and realism are two different types of art, so is the Lusso and the CT. Some people dig abstract art. Some can’t stand it. Some like surrealism, some, not so much. Some dig Andy Warhol, some David Hockney, some Banksy, some Raphael. And on a Venn diagram, there is overlap. I have my preferences, but I have a little of most of that (no Banksy or Raphael) I have posted before, the goal of art is to evoke an emotion. The CT does that, and so does the Lusso. But they are both drawn by different artists, in different styles, for different audiences, at different times. I try to appreciate all art, regardless of the emotion it reflects in me.

Is it possible to make a tempered stainless that color, or does it HAVE to be wrapped for that particular color?
Aluminum can be anodized. Not steel of any sort though. Typically, you might see steel powder coated.

So your options on the CT are powder coating (brittle), Rhino liner (heavy), plastidip (2 years), vinyl (size limitations), or paint (standard).

Black oxide finish, would look much better than a black wrap.
