I love this! New to mods so any suggestions? Do I just find a reputable autobody shop? I'm in the South Seattle, WA area. Thanks!

 

[Palidad]

probably not a body shop. you want to find a shop that does vinyl wraps/custom mods . body shop isnt usually a good source for precision work.

How did you cover holes on rear badge delete?

 

[Palidad]

The holes were filled and tailgate was repainted

 

[Melhaj]

Mind sharing how much that cost and how it looks, good as new?

 

[Palidad]

It was a few thousand for all the things done. You can see how it looks from all the pictures. I really like it and am very happy with it. It looks different from most of the Palisades out there and for me it turned out exactly how I imagined it

 

[Melhaj]

Yea looks really good, well done.

Have you had issues with the wrap sticking to the gray plastic? My guy is telling me it won't stick well

 

[Palidad]

Gray plastic? Which panel would that be?
The more intricate areas were painted ( mostly around the grill and the chrome trim around it) the paint on those areas doesn't stick so I most likely will have to get them repainted in a few yrs if I decide to do so

Around grill, doir handles, diffusers, ect

 

[Palidad]

it was a mix of painting and wrapping.

Around grill and front diffusers were painted. ( i regret not PPF'ing those sooner) door handles, mirrors and roof rails were wrapped. The wrap is staying pretty well. paint not so much since it was painted on top of the chrome - which isnt recommended.

Hi, do you have issues with the wrapping from the back windows, I mean the line from window to window. Or was it painted?

I'm assuming you mean the C pillars ( between 2nd row and 3rd row windows) . No I havent had any issues with the wrapping there. Only issues so far have been the painted surfaces in the front lower grill that are being chipped by road debris.

I'm in the process of getting my 2023 Black 3/4 wrapped with Satin Dark Grey. I was told the front grill is a 'no-go' zone and that they don't want to touch it. As soon as someone comes out with a factory-based all-black grill, they are going to be millionaires.

Did you wrap any of the body besides the roof?

I totally agree! I have a 2023 black calligraphy & I am also waiting for a nice black aftermarket grill. Please post if & when you find one. I’ll do the same. Thanks.

I know I’m a few years down the road from this post, but do you know how they did the trim around the grill, if it was painted or wrapped? I’m worried about messing up the sensors that are built in to that and not sure how to do it. Looking at a full chrome delete but see there are sensors in that trim
