I really want to get the wrap done before the run, but, dont know how likely that is. Trying to get my truck set to mid perch, Line-X'd a tonneu cover and the wrap in the 8 days between picking the truck up in FL and heading to MI... There's also a trip to Key West in that timeframe too. Oh, and putting those D-rings in the bed as tiedowns.
I like the idea of the Xpel stuff before the run because it's really a matte/satin paint protection film(not vinyl) that would be over the whole truck to cut down on any brush scratches.
It's too bad I can't keep one of these when I get back to the states. Would be handy should anyone somehow end up lost.
