The DIY definitely takes some patience, but the flat panels really make it possible. I’m early 40’s and in pretty good shape, put I’ll say it’s definitely a younger man’s type of work. My back and knees and joints were all talking to me pretty good after 3 straight days of it.

I am curious how the gloss black does with micro scratches. In 3-5 years, I could definitely consider it. I’ve never had a black car myself. Are you noticing any yet?
Good for you man. Wouldn’t be my stamina it would be carving out the time with my 3 kids keeping me from it! I do love a good DIY project though.

Zero scratches so far, and the Stek PPF is self healing so scratches are supposed to disappear with heat.

Stek Piano gloss black PPF wrap and ceramic coating. 50% windshield tint and 35% driver and passenger, all Xpel Ceramic IR. Couldn’t be happier with how this turned out. Truck looks like a mirror… Also had the tonneau and bed trim ceramic coated to help protect it. All done by Steve Aguilar and his team at Modern Auto Design in Walnut Creek. HIGHLY recommend if you are in the eastbay.

Very nice. A classic combination. Much better than the original stainless.


I noticed your center hub caps. Very nice.

Looks dope! Did you do the pano roof or left that alone?
I didn’t tint the roof. Seems tinted already to me… but maybe worth it

Left the roof and front windshield alone (for now). Now that we're coming in the hot and humid South Florida summer, I may have to revisit decision.

Torn between satin black or gloss black. Both look good IMO

I was in the same place. Very hard to choose, but I am happy I went with the gloss black. I just feel it looks more OEM and like paint. To me, the satin looks like a wrap. But I did struggle with the decision.

Looks killer! Love the emblems. Emblems are going on in matte clear (from TESBROS) tomorrow on mine.
Does the new stickers adhere ok?
I heard there may be issues when you do ceramic coating and then try to apply a sticker over it.
may easily get removed with any decent water pressure. Any feedback?
Btw. Your car your awesome!
