    Thank you!

    So I snagged the mirrors of CL. They’re the OEM Toyota Sport mirrors. I bought new Black covers off of a Toyota website for cheap and then snipped the old harness in the door off and ran new harness and wires into the cab and spliced into the turn signal wires. Maybe I should do a write up of that too :rofl:

    Thanks, luckily when the wrap finally comes off it’ll look just as good as the day it went on. If anything, just some colored protection for now.

    Your truck looks great! Good job. For me though it’s way too much work and I dont really have the incredible patience it takes.

    Thank you! I’m sure others have wrapped vehicles with less labor and removals. But I wanted it done right and didn’t want to cut corners especially since this is my first time. I’ve seen guys leave the truck as is and wrap around stuff but I felt that that wrap integrity might not hold up as well if I did it that way.
