No wrap for sure. Maybe this stripe only. (My build below) For me that’s the beauty of this whole platform: not worrying about scratches, scrapes, dents, peeling, lifting, etc. My OCD for this is off the charts every time I park, where I park, who parks next to me, are there trees around, etc.
This truck will be more a therapy tool for my OCD; now I think I can get those parking spots closer to where I’m going, when I would normally park in BFE all the time. 😂

Dude...this is me exactly. ^^^.

My build has no wraps per se. I'm seriously thinking about the S L A T E side strip and the B-pillar black-out, but that's it. Both are side mount so rock/bug chips shouldn't be a serious problem.

I too see the Slate as therapy to fight my OCD induced parking lot mental illness....and I'll leave the spot out in BFE for the other guy without a Slate. :)

We'll get thru this.

The poll is incomplete without "Partial Wrap" as a choice, IMHO.

My ultimate plan is to put bedliner on the roof in a year after some people blaze the bedliner-on-the-plastic trail.

Until then I'll go with a Roof Partial Wrap.

Similar thought here. My first thought was to do just the roof and A & B pillars with a simple Rust-Oleum tan camo paint over plastic adhesion promoter, but Raptor bedliner in tan or white is probably a better choice.

I want something permanent, so generally speaking a wrap isn't for me. Reminder that I live in a place called The Valley Of The Sun. 🌵🌞

That said, I don't mind having a wrap on it for a year or so while I sort out the details of how to do a good job of painting the roof with bedliner.

Not quite AZ here, but west central Texas isn't exactly temperate.

I'm still going to park in an EBF parking spot. It's just habit.

I called this spot at work, "The Vault" :CWL:

We had a spot just like this at work that I would stuff my car in to so I could avoid door dings, but instead of two pillars it was a pillar and some big concrete bollards. Then they made it into a motorcycle spot! :mad:

The beauty of that spot was it was right across from the elevators so you could step right into the elevator vestibule.
