3M Brushed Metallic Titanium Wrap Installed

I took some more shots of the doors from the drivers side. I don’t see much of a difference but I’m not sure what to look for.

I saw it too but only in one picture:

The driver's door looks lighter for some reason. But, I love the look of this wrap. Definitely on my list.

Now that you mentioned it, I can’t unsee it ?

It's not crazy bad, just certain light points

Sorry. Didn't mean to break the glass. It looks great!

I wanna laugh because the cost incurred to look similar to stock….

But I can’t because it looks damn nice. Enjoy ?

Thank you This was the exact reason why I hesitated before deciding to move forward with this color. At the end of the day, I’m happier with it than without it after paying for the materials. IMO it’s justified but I can understand how others may feel differently.

Phasma came back yesterday from Layers by HRS in Addison, TX with the 3M brushed metallic titanium vinyl wrap.

Material:
3M 2080 Brushed Titanium Vinyl Wrap | BR230
Ordered a 5ft x 75ft roll as requested by the shop. There is an Avery version that's similar and slightly cheaper but 3M seems to be of higher quality IMO

Price:
Full disclosure, Layers by HRS performed the labor for free on this wrap job. They offered their vinyl materials but since I preferred this particular 3M material, I purchased the vinyl material myself. However they are willing to wrap Cybertrucks for $3000 with color vinyl included or $4500 for PPF. https://www.layersbyhrs.com/

Reasoning:
Since I prefer the OEM bare metal look, I chose this color as it closely resembles the original color of the Cybertruck's stainless steel plus provided a brushed texture on the vinyl to further reduce finger prints. There are also other color options available for the same brushed material in black, aluminum, and steel. A clear PPF may have also worked but it would have been more expensive plus I'm not happy with the exact condition of the stainless steel's surfaces from Tesla despite the service center's polishing of different panels so a clear PPF would have revealed those imperfections. At least there are no more fingerprint issues. ?

Result:
Since the material has a brushed metal texture, it provides a satin finish that is neither gloss nor matte. There is a sheen under brighter lighting conditions while it appears more subdued and dark-gray-concrete-like in dimmer lighting. I'll attach some pictures of both for reference.

I opted for only the Foundation part of the Foundation Series logo under the wrap for the embossed effect, since the Series part is smaller in size and would have been less legibile with a wrap texture on top. While it is missing the Series part, I think the solo Foundation letters provides simplicity and clarity.

Overall I'm excited it's retained the original Cybertruck's aesthetic and dare I say added a slight improvement IMO.

What's with those 'PAC-MAN' Wheel centre caps!?!?! ✓✓

Got those from a fellow local member. I really like how they’re flush with the wheel and the angles from the 3D print feels fitting to the Cybertruck.

Here’s a closer shot of the wheel caps
