That is the end game.

Baby steps. I've only had the truck since February ans I've already thrown money at the wheels and the stereo.

 

hope you didn't spend a whole lot on those wheels..

 

The front bumper could easily be vinyl wrapped, definitely a DIY. Maybe $100 for an entire roll which should do front and back w/ some to spare, heat gun, exacto knife, squeegee and some beer.

 

Is it a one man job?

 

Yes, the trick is to leave the backing on the vinyl as you go. Pull the backing and smooth it on. It's like a giant sticker. You may actually also need some painters tape. I use it to the hold the vinyl where I want it before starting to peel the backing off.

Put the large strip of vinyl on at once and then go back and start heating up the sections you're working to stretch them over the round corners etc. Using a squeegee to smooth it and if you get bubbles, pop them with a needle and heat and the air will push out.

The hardest and longest part will be doing things like removing the bumper pads, fog lights etc.

Most vinyls have a 5-7 year life span, meaning they shouldn't fade. Definitely make sure you buy the right stuff.

 

The 3m brand makes a metallic black that matches tuxedo black almost perfectly. I figured up I could do everything for about $100.

 

I'm telling you. Try plasti dipping the steps. Apply liberally and it will look good I promise.

 

I'm not opposed to plastidipping the steps.

 

Depending on the size of roll you buy, you could vinyl wrap the steps as well. I don't have those ones, but on the stock steps I do have, everything comes apart, plastic end caps come off, plastic bit where your foot goes.

 

You can be assured it will. It will look like the truck of a tacky person trying to fit in some imaginary category.

Your truck looks absolutely fine as it is. The wheels look great. Drive it with pride buddy!
