Update: 4.56 gears. Installed

Matte black vinyl wrap will be done by the end of next week. Not dropping the truck off until next Monday.

 

Well?? How awesome is it with 4.56's?

 

Literally the next 2 mods Ive been saving for haha, nice man!

 

Nice! I just got 4.56's last Friday.

 

Very curious to see how well the Vinyl holds up in the brush etc. I really like the idea of matte white. I might just vibratory sand the entire thing with scotch brite to knock down the clear coat sheen.

 

My friend vinyl wrapped his 07 4Runner and ended up removing it, because it showed scratches really bad and would snag on branches larger than a twig. Also, I'm pretty sure the super white doesn't have a clear coat. If you notice scratches polish out on white, but not as well on other colors.

 

Hmm, interesting, didnt know that about the clear coat. Entire paint job is one big scratch so its a little more matte than most already.

 

Yeah that's why I went with white. I've polished out a lot of bad scratches on my truck.

 

Instead of a Matte white vinyl, you could do a Matte paint protection film. Hides scratches since it is matte, but also alot more durable then vinyl.

 

I'm not sure yet. I'm still on my 500 mile break in period haha

 

Was that Blair's truck?

 

Yes it was.

 

From what I have read, SW from Toyota is just a single stage paint/clear, whereas the other paints are multi-stage paint/clear. Super white still has a clear, it is just not a "traditional" one like the other colors.

I looked at this option but would have cost me 2k whereas the vinyl wrap is free

 

Free vinyl wrap? I'm in

 

Dude, dats sick!

 

I'm also curious of said "free" vinyl wrap? Do you mean it's free cuz DIY, or the wrap is actually free?

 

Indeed - I want in.
