Thank you TIM Z for those questions and OP for answering. But I have one more question.
After the estimated 3-5 years of life for the wrap, could you just peel it off and have the original paint left in good condition? Or does it screw up the paint underneath?
I hope the truck wouldn't have to be re-wrapped every 3-5 years. Unless you wanted to.

That is going to look awesome when done. Love the wheels too.
Any plans for performance? If so, why do you do the wrap first as opposed to the performance mods first?

Well as far as performance goes...look at my sig. If I want to go fast I have other vehicles to do that with. I am sure I will start doing stuff to the truck though.

If there is New paint or body work underneath it can Pull it up if it wasn't done properly.

As long as its the original paint in good condition, It should look as good as new. The wrap peels off with a heat gun and a little elbow grease. They usually use and adhesive remover. If there going to re wrap it's usually something like alcohol.
If there is New paint or body work underneath it can Pull it up if it wasn't done properly.
