Thinking of doing it. (Found some inexpensive rolls on EBAY)I love the white look of mine, but I really want a Matte Black look to it. Also going to Herculine the Fender Flares and bumpers (Being replaced soon due to damage anyways).

I've been doing alot of research on this, what experience do you guys have with vinyl wrapping (Pros/Cons)

Thanks.

Connor's Outlaw Raptor truck is wrapped and it looks great. You could talk to him since I understand he and his guys did it.

Decided on matte black, It will be easier for me to spray paint over any chips as compared to if it was ptm

Alot of the ones i've seen (ie 3M and Avery) are removable and they say they wont damage the paint.

I did some price checking with local shops here in Stuttgart Germany...those fools want 2000 EURO for the job. :panic:

Going to do a DIY install. I'm pricing it total for materials around 300 bucks and maybe borrow a heat gun....taking my time it should be around 3-4 days to do it with my busy schedule.
