By the way are your tail lights the dark or medium darkness?

Thanks, still undecided. Might pull them off this weekend and shoot them black. If I don’t like it I can always go back to the polished look.

How well does vinyl hold up on the chrome bumpers for the long haul?

I was told that when applied properly it is very durable and will last many years.

Not the best pic it’s the only one I currently have. Maybe more plastidip instead of paint. Since most of its hidden, a little plastidip with glossifier might do the trick.
WHY ?????

I have been mulling around how I would change my chrome bumpers for a awhile and never thought of wrapping them. That is a great idea.
What kinda cost was it to do your bumpers?

It cost $500. Pretty steep to me but after seeing the end result it was well worth it.

Ended up plastidipping the tips and adding some glossifier, made the black look like a dark gray. Going to clean it up this weekend and post some pics. Actually like how it turned out, everything is blending together. Now as for the rims....might be next up to be changed [emoji848]

Did you tint your rear lenses or have someone do them? Thinking of tinting mine on my black Rebel.

Very nice looking truck.

I had the same shop tint them while it was there. The third brake light is aftermarket and will be coming out, I really don’t like it. The shop is tinting my stock light. So once that’s done they’ll all match.

I say keep em chrome. A little chrome being left won’t hurt especially since you still have chrome on your wheels.


Well a machines finish *

I like the look of the wrapped bumpers!!! What type of shop did you go to for that? Or recommend one in Southern California? What did you do with the chrome grill? I plastidipped my Larmie grill inserts but still have some chrome on the front if I wrapped my bumper.
