YW. It's all wrapped. Headlights, Ford emblems, fender emblems, too, the backup lights are slightly tinted

What's with those seams on the headlights? I guess your guy couldn't accomplish that with one piece.
I wrapped my headlights, but in lieu of a color wrap, I applied the clear WeatherTech LampGard wraps ... almost 1/16" thick protective lens treatment to ward off rock chips / gouges in the plastic.

I also ordered from colorX. I picked up a lariat grille from a user here and wrapped it along with my rear bumper and side vents. Great stuff! I didnt do the front bumper because i plan on replacing it eventually.

looking good. On a scale of 1 -hulk hogan, how hard did you have to pull on this side emblems? I’ve tried mine multiple times, in direct heat and the fender starts flexing so I stop. Videos I’ve watched look like they should pop right off, but that is not the case with mine.
I hope to do my bumpers also.

Has anyone vinyl wrapped to match ruby red? All the vinyl places in my area say they can’t match it. I found a specialty wrap place that prints on the vinyl but the price is way too much.

Looks good.
How long did it take?

Just something to keep in the back of your mind. On the steel parts that are have actual chrome plating if there is any moisture and combined with salt gets into the areas where the tape stops and migrates under the tape and then corrosion will start. Have only seen it once but it can happen.

Reviving an old thread here, but has anyone tried the Color X Labs stuff in the white platinum tricoat? I'm deleting the chrome on my Lariat and am debating between paint and vinyl.

The very first post in this thread has photos of Color X wrap.
