Wrap All - Wrap Some - Wrap None

The trim around the windows. He only charged me $60 he gave me a discount because he's tinted the windows on my last few vehicles. How long do you think I should wait until I wash it? I want to clean it and I think it should be ok now but I just want to make sure. It looks so much better all blacked out and my wife doesn't get it!

I'm no expert, but I'm sure it would be fine to wash the following day after wrapping.

That's sweet

Looks amazing!

You should get a slight smoke tint on the tail lights so they don't stick out so much.

 

[Denali132]

That's a good idea and didn't really notice how much they stick out until you said that and I looked at the picture. Do they have darker tail lights?

I have yet to find anything but various wraps or films to put on the tail lights. I had previously tried a set from Lamin-X and was really disappointed with the quality of them with regards to fit. They said they were specifically measured and cut for the 2015+ models but my set sure didn't appear to have been.

Looks awesome, Denali132!!! You should also blackout your lug nuts.

Thanks, I've been debating on whether or not I was going to do that. I guess the easiest would be plasti dip

Here's the front view of wrapped grill. Good from far....but FAR from good. Apparently, this guy has never done this type of work before. The top and bottom major sections (the ones surrounding the inner horizontal slates/bars) were done in multiple sections instead of one whole piece. He said he's gonna re-do it, but I'm done with him.

Same deal with my guy. Took him three try's to get it semi perfect but I had enough and let it be. It's close enough for me and provides ample protection. I only did partial hood and I have white so you tend to see a dirt line it some spots but comes right off after a car wash. I also had him wrap the shiny black parts around the doors but going to have those removed and changed to a metallic black cause I don't like that glossy finish and the chrome around the windows. Was also thinking about doing the chrome on the middle of the doors to a carbon white.

Here's mine and that dirt line. Hasn't been washed in over a month

Interesting wrap. I've never seen partial. He couldn't wrap complete parts (fenders, bumpers, mirrors, hood)?

Yes on the full hood but I didn't care for it till after the dirt line lol. And same for the fenders. The mirror comes precut and that's what it covers. I'm sure you can do full mirror but probably not needed. Front bumper is fully wrapped.

I was mostly concerned with wrapping the problem spots from rock chips.

 

[16blkltz]

I decided to wrap the window trims myself. Not as easy as I thought, but am pleased with the results. I'll take better pics when I have a chance. So now...all chrome (except bowtie emblem borders and spoke edges on wheels) have been deleted. Oh...and my door handles have black covers.

Now if I could darken/tint headlights and tail lights that would be great

Thanks! Grill is wrapped. I'll be removing the wrap soon because the guy that wrapped my grill did a very bad job...so it looks good from far...but VERY VERY FAR from good. So bad that I've actually ordered another grill and will try to wrap it myself. I'm also going to try to re-wrap this grill too. If I can't do it...I'll just plasti-dip or paint it glossy black.
