Stealth Xpel on Firecracker Red?

[BSjeep]

Hey, has anyone here done Stealth Xpel on a firecracker red Rubicon or any wrangler?

My next Rubicon will be coming in next month and I’m looking into wrapping the whole thing with Stealth Xpel but can’t find any sample photos of what a firecracker red wrangler in stealth looks like.

It's gonna look sick, that's how it's gonna look!

If I had to guess, it will look like Brad's gladiator from TrailRecon. His was a wrap, not just a matte clear, but for comparison, this is what I'd expect:

I have xpel on my granite crystal metallic. The top of the hardtop was the only section they couldn't do with ppf but they could do vinyl so I found a matching color. They were able to do the curves of the side cowl pieces and even the hinges. No one ever knows it's wrapped unless I mention it.

Thank you sooo much sharing that link! That helps a TON!

Awesome! Luckily I’ll have a sky one touch roof so they won’t have to worry about the top. Did you take your decals off before the PPF was put on or did you put the wrap on top of hood decals and everything?

They took all of them off, ordered new ones and put them back on over. I left off the unlimited sticker on the fender but kept the rubicon on the hood, diesel badge on the rear and jeep on the fender in front of the door.
I would highly recommend going to a shop that doesn't use the precut xpel. The place I went to took everything off (door handles, hood vents, fender flares, hardtop, rubber window trim, fuel filler door, etc) so they could tuck the edges and eliminate as many seams/visible edges as possible. It's pricey paying for all of that labor but I'm very happy with the outcome. They sent me update videos as they did it and I had to sit down seeing it dismantled with less than 100 miles on it.

I have a granite crystal Metallic 392 coming. Did you wrap yours in the Stealth or Ultimate? Either way can you post a couple pics please?

I got mine wrapped with xpel and you can’t notice it at all.

thanks for the pics. Did your installer do the pre cut kit or do the freehand?

Freehand

Here are a few more. I'm sure you can find the seams/edges if you look closely.
First picture-Tailgate hinge is not covered but the body around the tail light and the tailgate itself are covered.
Second picture-Tucked edges behind the window seals.
Third picture-The windshield one is the most obvious but it is smooth. Close your eyes and run your finger over it and you'd never know.
Fourth picture-Almost all of the hinge is covered, bolt heads are not. I pointed out in red what may look like an edge but is not, just the light hitting the curve of the paint.
