    Hello all!

    I have a 2018 TRD Pro.

    So far I have lifted it 1.5" all around with a Westcott Front lift and a Deaver AAL. Put on 285/75/16 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Swapped the Headlights for the TRD Pro LEDs. Tuffskinz TRD skid inserts. And a few interior quality of life mods (organizers and such).

    Looking to add a heritage stripe vinyl wrap prior to a ceramic coat then work on an overland build early next year.

    Welcome!

    I’m interested to learn more about the vinyl, but I’m a total n00b.
    I also Plan on doing ceramic coat, but I would think you’d want to do that before the vinyl, not after?

    From the research I did I found that applying vinyl after a ceramic coat causes adhesion issues whereas applying prior to the coat will actually protect the vinyl!
