So what all was wrapped and ceramic coated? Looks like you did more than a partial front wrap.

They did full front, full hood, B & C pillars, mirror caps and door cups in PPF. The whole truck, including both sides of wheels, shocks, & calipers, in Ceramic Pro, all windows in 70% XR. I didn't want the dark tint at night. I found out pretty quick why everybody ******* about the black B/C pillars. They were a little ****** before I even left the dealer when I bought it!

she does look pretty good. I hope if your detailer sends a survey, you make sure to remember they did you a favor and all. Just sayin’

First question. When can I have my truck back??
Second question, who did you use in PA? I`m wondering if it would be worth my while to come over from NJ depending where your detail shop is at ?
Do they have a website, I just looked into getting my truck ceramic coated with Gteching EXO or Xpel Fusion Plus and trying to see what a decent price to pay would be?

The shop is Shine Techs in Easton. Depending on how deep in NJ you are, it wouldn't be bad for you. I was very happy with their work, except when I stopped in a few days ago to check on things they had most of the work done and had just started doing the front bumper end in gloss PPF. To my eyes, that would look like hell. I didn't think to specify one way or the other, I assumed matte parts would be done in matte PPF. They were nice about it, but upcharged me $125 because they said the stealth is a lot more expensive. I had them remove it and do it in Stealth. The owner said it was their 3rd Raptor and the previous guys were OK with that.

It's a good crew of young car guys that are meticulous and careful with their work, very nice shop, spotlessly clean and orderly. A lot of nice, high end cars being done by them. 2 new NSX's, a Lotus, a GTR, a Maserati, a Porsche, a couple new Corvettes. They are on the expensive side, but I'd rather have that, than have mediocre work done. I would use them again. The owners name is George, good guy.

Interesting. So did you have the fender flares wrapped in Stealth to match the front bumper, or is there not much of a difference? I am having my rear bedsides wrapped soon in clear and my fender flares in Stealth. I have aftermarket bumpers, so I am not messing with the bumpers.

Lol I am with you, gloss PPF on the flares and bumpers of a Raptor do not look good!

Dang, Uncle Perv! Nice! Congrats! Looks like mine may have served as a little inspiration Just don't let that girlfriend of yours smoke those cigars in it. Now all you gotta do is schedule for RA Sept. 7th and 8th. See you there brother!

Looks awesome. I wrapped and ceramic coated mine as well.

I really like the hood stripes. I wonder if Rappygraphics could do them in carbon fiber? After seeing how yours turned out, I’m thinking of doing them in carbon fiber on mine...
