Wow. Thanks for the pics of the process. Pretty incredible.

Dumb question...are you going to leave the yellow calipers on the PCCBs or change that color too?

Debating it. Kinda liking the Brazilian look for now.

So, how does that rear license plate piece attach to the rear bumper?

Looks great. Are you happy with the smoothness and glossiness of the finish? Did you do door jams and under hood or rocking a 2 tone?

It looks amazing. No one would ever think this was a "wrap" and it looks like paint because it basically is. It's color coded paint then Akso Nobel clear. Just has a peelable base. Ben really did as much to get it done right. As you can see from the pics he did a lot of sanding. It isnt perfect. There are some spots here and there but nothing I couldn't live with. There are also a lot of swirls from the compound/polishing. I'm gonna give it a few weeks for the clear to fully cure then DIY a correction and coating.

I didn't mess with the hood. Too much work for not enough ROI. Door jams are gonna be wrapped in black olive vinyl which is a spot on color match.

What do you guys think? The SP3s or OEM wheels?

I'm not really digging the bronze with the black olive. Has an old man in a tweed jacket vibe. It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't totally clash with the interior.

Ugh. Looks like I may have to change wheels or get these powdercoated in another color.

The front offset was way too agressive...haha.

I’m a fan of the OEM wheels.

I’m partial to the new wheel but agree it needs a color pop. Gold I think would look good with the green.

Curious they fit well on your previous cab though aggressive fitment, didn’t carry over fitment on the Turbo on the front?

Kept the oem ones on for now...

The rears are 21x11.5 et50 and will be more aggressive than OEM. The fronts are 20x9.0 et 35 and will be pretty much the same as OEM so not quite as outbound as I'd like.
