Thinking of wrapping

[Ssfrantz5]

Wanna get everyone's take on wrapping my trail boss. Sad thing is I work in a really nasty environment and kick up rocks all the time and already had a few nicks in the side of the truck... What do you guys think.

If it’s what you want to do, then go for it. I’ve thought about getting mine xpelled. What are you thinking for the wrap?

Just the flat color wrap..

Well you might want to try some running boards and mud flaps. That would help quite a bit too. What area are you getting chips?

got my LT wrapped bc of a great experience with my SS that the previous owner had wrapped and because of how my Tahoe hood looks after 60k miles.

 

For our trucks the raised 'Silverado' on the Fenders makes the film much more noticeable since they have to cut a rectangle out there close to eye level to get around the letters.  My installer made the cut sloppy on one side to add insult to injury but I'm hoping they'll rework that.  [Kirkland LineX if anyone near Seattle cares]  Anyhow, point is not a slam dunk on this truck but the film does help with chips and washing if done well.

Why wouldn't they just remove the emblem and if you wanted to keep it install a new one?  I mean it's just stuck on there with tape...    Sounds like a shop to avoid to me.

 

No way I would have accepted that.  Good luck getting it fixed, I hope it works out to your satisfaction!

So what is the reason for wrapping? To change the color of the truck?

I did it strictly for paint protection from highway debris / cinder though my installer covered the headlight lenses also. My father in law has gotten by with a good mounted wind deflector.  I think the main factor is your location and what your doing (e.g. following a salt shaker around in the winter or driving in the sun in FL)
