What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Spent the last couple of evenings doing some wrapping...
In an effort to save a little $$ and give me another DIY to tackle, I decided to try and wrap the mirror caps and hood bulge to match my recent Pro Grille. The roll of wrap I bought was listed as MGM, and out of the box, it looks really close to color-match.
I went out in the dark to put the cap and bulge on, using a head light. Tomorrow's sunlight will tell the real story....



Mail-man dropped off this little gem today as well. This picture came out way darker than the color in person. Since I was wrapping, I added a little MGM wrap and cut out a flag design. The lighter color in the second pic is the actual color of the hitch cover.

 

Can you post more pics in the daylight. Wanna see more gunmetal on white

 

Hey GAKnight,

Where did you purchase the MGM wrap, I want to tackle this project as well.

Thanks,
Saadi

 

I got mine from ColorWrapture. It's Oracal brand vinyl. Another member on here had his bumper caps wrapped in the same product, which was what pushed me to buy it. I was very impressed with the vinyl!! Lays very well, super smooth and at the edges with a little heat, it naturally just lays down...no back pull. Again, the daylight's going to tell the story. If the color's way off, I won't keep it on there.

Just as FYI/warning...I wasn't impressed with ColorWrapture's CS and shipping times. So if you order from them, you might ought to check with them on product availability and lead time/back orders.

There's also, www.colormatchwrap.com.
They'll supposedly match vehicle color. They've got some of the Toyota Quicksand on their site that looks pretty good. They're quite a bit more expensive than ColorWrapture.

 

Will do.

 

I too, just like you, was tired of the sea of plastic that was my center console, not to mention the blinding cupholder bezel, well I fixed the bezel a couple days ago, and today my last part came in.



Yup from a platinum to my pro, that coupled together with some real metal accents I have gone from this....


To a this.......



The mod bug is coming for you!!!

 

Those wheels are so badass. Look like the rock warrior wheels

 

I like them alot.

 

How did it look today? What color is it called on the website? I can’t seem to find MGM.

 

Well done sir

 

Got it washed and interior detailed. Two weeks and 2700 miles of Baja roads, dust, and living out of it took it's toll. Even the bed was a mess and it's Line X'ed.

One thing I found out through use is the location of the switch for my lightbar. Utilizing a stock style switch on the left side of the wheel (previously a vacant spot) and down low sure looks cool but it's not very convenient for constantly turning it on and off. So I've decided on getting a Switch Pros button set up that's fit in the card holder of the center console and an S-Pod for a cleaner look and future lighting. My Baja Designs 40" bar is amazing, but once you're in the silt or dust, you're blind. I'll eventually get a 30" bar in amber and mount it in the bumper for that reason alone. Probably go amber on my BD fogs too.



It'll be better as I drive with my left hand on the wheel at all times.

 

Where did you get the leather covered shifter bezel? Nice upgrade!

 

Ordered from sparks parts because I had a coupon.

 

Is that a OEM Toyota part? If so, please share the part number.

 

It is oem, comes in the platinum

58805-0C110-C0

That should be it.

 

Looks great. Specs on the lift/tires

 

TRD Pro suspension, 2 shims up front, 3 inch shackles in back and 295 70 18 Cooper ST Maxx tires.

 

Thank you bud! 'Still got a little more to do. I'm thinking the bumper end caps might be next...

 

Here's exactly what I bought.


Here's a couple pics from today.
I can tell the slightest of difference in certain light angles...where the wrap seems to not have as much of the bronze flake in it, but at those same angles, the surround on the Pro grille looked darker than the rest of the front.
Another thought I had...While the vinyl has a gloss coating, it's not the same as the clear coat on the truck. So I think with a little wax/detailer, it may help it blend more.
All said, after Thanksgiving lunch I had 3-4 family members come out and look at the truck an I asked them to tell me what was wrapped. No one could guess and no one could tell the difference in colors once I told them. For now, I'm leaving it.

 

Added a 31” led light bar with the hidden bumper bracket set up.

 

Before and after plastidip entire front grill and hood bulge. Nicked the grill during install so already have a spot to fix.

 

Looks great! What light and bracket did you go with?

 

Auxbeam led bar had it before and it was a good brand imo never had issues the brackets came with good quality and fit perfect

 

Thank u sir!

 

Nice clean,stealthy install.

 

Yeah I put it behind the plastic didn’t want to cut it out like some of them call for.

 

That’s awesome! I just ordered some to try on my bumper ends. Thanks man!

 

Added some tech to the interior
