Default Vinyl wrapping the JK? (large pic warning)
You all prolly know I'm the super sticker freak here on the forums. show us the stickers
I'm planning on wrapping my Jeep with some Matte vinyl. I took a look at the fender chop thread Eddie posted to see how to remove the fenders and I'll be looking around a bit more for the door handle and hinge removal processes. I figure it's gonna take a weekend to do, so prolly sometime during my Month long Christmas break from School It should go along a lot like painting would. And instead of spending 2 grand on a paint job I can spend $70 on a roll of matte vinyl, $15 on fender clips and take it off after If I don't like it! The vinyl has a 3 year guarantee.


Here's another with black, but everyone does matte black! So I'm thinking more of a dark grey... Like this

I plan on doing it myself. I've wrapped enough decals on my Jeep I think I can handle doing a body panel at a time. Like this guy

I would never take a torch to ANY of those cars listed above. If you want a color, paint it, or buy it from the factory with it.

I wrapped the black stripe across my hood, and have had numerous Alpha Expedition Decals all over my JK. I ran Niagara and Bald Mtn. Both have tight turns with trees all around and it might scratch the vinyl, but it's replaceable. If I scratch the matte, then it'll be easy just to replace that panel. It's not one solid sheet of vinyl that wraps it up, its a sheet over each panel.
