    I especially love the folks who buy frivolous stuff but cant afford to pay their rent,college tuition or healthcare bills,Pre K /babysitters and whine about it and say its a human right that others have to pay for them.

    How about the huge percentage of people that spend much more than that on full skids, plate bumpers, sliders, lift and wheels and never go wheeling? You see people all the time spending $3k on rims.. those are cosmetic, not unlike the wrap.

    Lots, straight from the factory.
    But the skids, bumpers, sliders, lift, wheels, etc., alleviate the effects of TPS. Clear wrap is unseen, thus having no effect on TPS.

    I’ve learned this the hard way. When I had my cement I convinced myself it’d be a great investment, I’ll keep it forever, etc. I spent $2400 to have the front ppf’d along with rockers and rear bumper and then flowed up with ceramic pro, only to trade it in because I’m a car guy and like switching it up. Never again, I should know myself better and let’s be honest most of us trade up or switch it up at some point, at least with suspension, wheels, etc. you can repurpose or sell later. I’m sure OP will say it increases resale, which it doesn’t, not in the midsize truck market, no one cares buying a Tacoma nor will a dealer, so basically money thrown away. I totally get protecting paint for the long term especially with collector type vehicles, but a Tacoma?. But to each their own and it’s OPs money and his choice just like ours to do what others may think is money thrown away. But it’s the internet and an enthusiast forum, don’t post without expecting opinions. Regardless that color is still gorgeous and can see the appeal to keep it flawless.

    Is this why you were asking MESO if he could make the gasshole in a smaller size?

    For the price I would have asked for the to have the wrap go all the way to the other side of the piece. Like if it wraps around the edge you don't get the line that's 1/16 or 1/8 from the edge. It looks like u have that line

    Yes a custom wrap would require removing panels, headlights. I have a custom wrap on my P car, it’s a lot more $. For the Taco I went with a software semi custom wrap, a lot cheaper, limited amount of parts removed. Since the Taco is my DD I wanted protection from the elements, so yea there will be tiny gaps.

    Really
    It’s covered on my insurance policy. It’s custom add ons. Produce the receipts in case of an event and the insurance pays out. Also added on OEM Toyota replacement parts, cheap insurance in case of a claim.
