Despite covering up black forest green, flat black looks awesome and you will have a unique set up.
By the way, how much did the 12 yards cost you? I played around with different options, and many were spendy as of a few years ago.

Thanks for everyone's comments. I working on the windshield this morning...will post pics when done. This is my first wrap job but I used to tint windows way back when in high school for extra cash (even back then it was for my Jeep..89 YJ...lol) and figured it couldn't be as hard as the windows, primarily because it's much thicker material and more pliable. I was right....just need to know how to use a heat gun when working the corners and such....100 times easier than the thin, crease prone window tint. As for the cost, I have a friend here in Houston who has a sign company and I am able to call in orders at wholesale...$21/ a yard...and the roll is 60in wide. Took less than 2 yards to do the hood and will be the same for the windshield...except won't use the whole 60in. I love the color as well and will still be able to enjoy it as I don't plan to wrap everything. Primary goal here is to protect the jeep from trail and highway damage. Heading to Vegas and Logandale this Friday and want to laugh at bug guts and anything else that decides to fly up at the jeep. After the windshield comes the doors and rear quarter panels...which will take care of the custom pin striping issues we all have on those tight trails.

Thanks for the thumbs up and feedback everyone!! Off to the garage to wrap a bit and sweat in this South Texas humidity.

Had my Mopar bumper converted to a stubby.

I've been thinking about doing this. Did you do it yourself or have a shop do it? Difficult?

Completed field (co-workers rock garden) testing of my Durango 4x4 front and rear Bumpers, Poison Spider Evap. Skid, newly installed Dynatrac front and rear Diff. Covers and newly installed EVO Protek Skid System. All have their badge of honor pin stripes.

Should have gotten my iPod out and got a couple of shots. Guess that means I need to get back out there again soon.
