XPEL Stealth Satin PPF wrapped my Carbonized Gray Badlands Bronco

What did you do to your trim rings? I'm definitely digging it.

Not a thing (other than invisible ceramic treatment). Those are the stock (upgraded) wheels.

No MIC here but thanks and thanks OP because I’ve just spent the last 20 minutes starting at mine wondering how it would look. I might be in. stupid question, does it go over the stripe?

Xpel Stealth or not, this looks fuckin' sick.

My 2-door Badlands order is Oxford White, and I love how the grille + flares + gray retro stripe looks on white.

Looks great ,im saddened that it has to sleep outside

Even though it's something I'd likely never do, I think Xpel Stealth looks ridiculously good on every single Bronco color I've seen posted with it.

I really want to see Oxford White with a MIC top wrapped in this.

I actually ordered Oxford White because of how white paint looks wrapped in Xpel Stealth. I'm sure that someone else will do it long before my Wildtrak comes in 2045.

Could any explain the benefit of adding this to my vehicle? It seems like quite a lot of dough for just some peace of mind IF I hardcore off-road.

It prevents rock chips, corrosion, paint scratches (pin-striping) from bushes, door dings, etc.

All the more important for a vehicle parked outdoors 24/7 like mine.

Thanks for all the info. Are you going to do it on your Bronco?

I do have some plans in mind. That is a lot of bread. We shall see.

I’m planning this same exact wrap for mine next week. Looks so good! Thanks for sharing!

I’m thinking of getting matte black or satin black. Would love to see pics if anyone else has gone this direction. Also would love to see door jams of wrapped Broncos or Jeep’s. I understand it will be another grand to get the jams done and am wondering if it is with worth it on a black truck to matte/satin.

Help me out so I can understand this wrap.

Does this wrap actually protect the vehicle from branches, rocks, etc? Or is it cosmetic? My Jeep is 100% rhino-lined and I can literally drive it through low-hanging thick branches and it won't show a scratch. Will this film do that, or will a sharp enough stick tear it up? It looks too dainty compared to rhino-liner, but I'm prepared to be informed that's not the case.

I see people buying into this whole PPF wrapping for protection. Would love to see some type of comparison on a vehicle in similar conditions with one that has been wrapped and one that doesn't. Have had around 25 vehicles in my life and the paint has always held up without any type of protection.

This looks awesome.

Extreme case scenario...

I strongly suspect these wraps are purely cosmetic and provide marginal-at-best protection from actual off-road conditions. They might take the hit for the occasional rock flying up from the road or other minor every day bumps and scuffs but in terms of wheeling I just can't see how it could work.

Rhino lining (or raptor lining, bedliner, etc.) is a permanent alteration which isn't for everyone. Personally I love the way it looks and I love the fact that it's almost impossible to scratch my rig. I would thing wraps tear and wear out and so over time the cost probably wouldn't be worth it unless it's just a pampered road machine.

Again, that's just my observations so far, I'm prepared for someone to tell me there's truly a heavy duty wrap out there designed for off-road use, other than rhino liner (which isn't a wrap.)
