Now it needs a drop and some different wheels.

Nice job. I worked up the stones to wrap my boat and love it. Was tedious but not overly difficult. Anyone thinking of it have at least one helper preferably 2.

How well do they fit? Been keeping my eyes peeled to see some on in person.

Very well. I was torn between the three styles, but the low-pros you barely notice, which I like a lot. I’m not a smoker, but I got them more for the fact that my Hoe sits at the airport 12+ hrs a day in the Texas heat. Now at least my vehicle is not thermal-nuclear when I leave work, and I don’t have to worry about rolling up my windows if a storm passes. Get them off amazon if you do, only $60 shipped. Here’s a few more photos.

Yes, the rear windows you can only crack about a 1/2” to vent without leaks if it does rain, which isn’t a big deal to me, but to each their own.

Yeah, these stick to the thin black window frame face, just above where those in-channel’s are.

I order the material (3m 1080) at cost just before I threw my two weeks in at the graphics shop. A full 25yd 60” roll is needed. I paid $525 for the roll.

How much did you have left over afterwords? Just curious.

About 1yd. That’s with no mistakes/rewraps

Oh wow, I’d surely need twice as much because I’m sure I would mess it up.

Nice job, looks awesome! I have been debating over vinyl wrapping or dipping for some time, but after seeing your work I'm really leaning towards wrapping!

For the front bumper, did you do inlays for the fog light and tow hook recesses? Could you take a few close up pics of those areas?

Yup, you’re exactly right. Inlays first then the whole bumper (that’s how I was taught). All together there is 7 pieces of vinyl just for the front bumper alone. The trick is to hide the seams, and ensure they agree to fluid dynamics/ airflow (you don’t want the vinyl lifting because it “scoops” the air or rain). I’ll post pics shortly.

FYI- front bumpers are the hardest objects to wrap on cars, so mine is by no means perfect. Actually might order more material and redo it in a few months.

As for plastidip- don’t waste your time. You’ll be redoing it in less than a year, and it’s hard to get an even coat. Been there done that on my old Subaru BRZ stock wheels.

Please keep in mind, my daily commute is 120miles, so yeah, my front bumper goes through hell.

NICE!!!

You can't even see the inlays unless you're doing a prostate exam on the recesses!

Also, nice job on "glassing" those dents and scuffs, those areas tend to be the starting point for vinyl lift due to trapped air... my bumper looks the same, I was thinking I'd have to glaze and prep the dents and scuffs first before I wrap, but now I'm thinking not.

Thanks again for the pics and info, you've inspired me to go with the wrap!

Oh, a lot of elbow grease was put into the front bumper to smooth out the blemishes. In my eyes, it’s a truck- so a few scratches and war scars are fine by my book. It just needs to be smooth and clean for vinyl installation. Thanks for the kind words.

Very Nice!

Welcome to the Wrapped club! Haha

I don't have the skills to pull this kind of job off so I paid to have mine done but I also got a great deal on it too!
