Currently trying to decide on a new color or if I go with a full print.

Did a chrome delete in the meant time to hold myself over/out of boredom. This is my new “work truck” as I outgrew my little hatchback that once held me over. Needed something a little larger to fit boxes and ladders.

These bumper sensors were a little tricky but we got them done! 3 months in so far and still look perfect.

Fantastic job! Looks amazing. I had to do the same thing but my bumper wrap job came out significantly inferior to yours. About 18 months in and I'm gonna have to redo them. How was the Luxe Smoke to work with? I tinted my tails with the Vivid tint and it was quite challenging.

ive tried a few different light tint films and would say luxe is by far the best Finish wise and ease of install. Just gotta make sure you heat it all once you’re finished to set the adhesive.

While I’m one of the few who still likes chrome on trucks (especially for their resistance to rock chips) the color matched bumpers and grille do look sharp!

And beings its 3M film (over chrome) you really don’t have to worry about those areas chipping!

looks good! never understood why so many trucks come with the chrome package, I think the body colored bumpers look much better

I remember a time when chrome was the higher cost options. Funny that now people pay more for color matching and chrome is standard. I honestly prefer the chrome, but not the chrome package. I think there is such a thing as too much.

3M makes a wrap I've used that is perfect match to the old Ford tuxedo black with fake metal flakes and all.

I'm liking that plain gloss though.

Cooking burgers and hotdogs is not BBQing, it's grilling! Thx, All of Texas!
I did not know you could go over chrome like that! Nice! I looks painted it’s so smooth! Like the lip on your wheels too!

I'm looking at having to rewrap my rear bumper again. Did you take yours off or wrap in place? I really struggled to get the bottom outside corner on each side to wrap smoothly without bunching up.
