22’ Black 37 Raptor vs. XPEL Stealth

[Raptor R]

I figured I would share a few Raptor projects a friend of mine and I have going. Both are black 37 trucks with XPEL and IGL Kenzo ceramic coating to start. One of the trucks is being protected with XPEL stealth and the other in the clear XPEL.

Wheels - Volk TE37XT M-spec 18x9 -1 is the Raptor set up with these
Tires - 37” Open Country
Suspension - RPG

I am leaning towards having both trucks tuned by @GooseTuned as he seems to be the best Raptor tuner in the game.

Here are a few pics of the progress so far of the Stealth. It should be ready in a few days. This is a brand new truck driven from the dealership right to the XPEL boys. I will update with the finished product once completed.

Here is the other one done in clear XPEL

Beautiful trucks.

I have clear Xpel on my ‘22 Oxford White, but I really like the stealth version in black above.

Waiting on my Venomrex 601s in bronze and I’ll post a photo.

It is not cheap, but worth protecting your investment.

I love both, but probably take the clear XPEL.

Seems like a big waste of money to do anything more than the front end but if I were to get it done I’d at least take off the stickers.

On a black truck it’s a huge time saver. That wrap will prevent swirls and scratches for years, both of which are super noticeable on black paint. I never buy black vehicles anymore but if I did, it would get a full wrap for sure.

Dont you have to remove it in a couple of years or it does damage to the paint?

I can appreciate a quality wrap job, but I still prefer the shiny finish. Do you guys wear matching or contrasting outfits? J/K! lol

Most have ten year warranties on them for defects and if applied properly it won’t damage factory paint on removal. The only time I’ve ever seen it damage paint is on a vehicle that had the bumper resprayed and the wrap pealed off the paint. That’s because a respray isn’t as strong as factory coats that are baked on.
