Brandon, do you know how vinyl holds up during the winter? I'm thinking of using it to CM the chrome that's left on the truck... Hell I may go see those guys this summer lol.

Thats fucking awesome. What about the door jambs, hood jamb, ect? Does that not get touched at all?

The jams and underhood are still silver birch. I had the option to do them, but I decided not to. If The truck was red originally, or some other vastly different color I would have done them, for for grey over silver birch i didn't waste my time. Plus when I get tired of it, it'll be less work to remove.

The vonyl comes about .25-.5" in on the jams. We almost painted the truck satin, however me and my body guy both decided a wrap is a better options for upkeep and repair down the road.

Theres still something about the overall package that I dont like. Its either the wheels or the headlights thats not flowing for me. think Im gonna lightly tint the headlights, corners, fogs, and license plate covers to darken them up and see how it looks. In the end tho, its just my Daily driver, so I may just leave it as is. Ive got alot of my plate right now, we just bought another house, my current goes on market monday, and my wifes due early september with a fresh baby.


It cost around 4 k to do

DNW 22" wheels tho. . I just pulled all the lights, buddy said 4 days i'll have them back SLIGHTLY darkened, not alot,

I do agree on wheels. Im not sure what route to take tho. DNW black wheels tho. I think it needs some silver gmc 20's or silver ltz wheels. I have lots of plastip, maybe i'll do one wheel

But seriously if the grille or bumper was chrome I think the wheels would go better.

I agree with wheels going better with chrome grille, but I love the all colormatched front end. Im gonna toss on a set of 20" silver ltzs to see if the finish changes my thoughts. Kid that owns my red truck says he'll let me borrow 2 rims
