I just had the full body of my Trophy wrapped in EXPEL PPF and topped with an EXPEL ceramic coating to protect the vinyl wrap and the rest of the rig. I also inquired about replacement Trophy wrap panels in case of accident or damage (confirmed they are currently available).

Thinking about doing the same. The big concern are the panels with the etched logos - I believe the rest of the panels could be color matched by any reputable wrap shop. Would hate to find myself in a situation in which I need to replace and they were not longer available.

Was at dealer today ordering snorkel and lunch box, my sales contact was literally getting call after call at his desk while I was waiting there re: New Defender. They are estimating new defenders to arrive in December now, all current and inventory on incoming trucks sold. With chip shortages, etc. I would suggest buying the model of defender you want (P300/400 90/110) etc and then customize. Let the truck find you vs. you finding the truck

Dealer had plenty of snorkels but only (1) lunchbox. I'm having it painted from silver to black and mounted by dealer (I'm scared to see costs).
Winch is another deal. That seems to be a S* show. However I'm going to work some magic and get it done.
Check out my Trophy Project Page- Would love it if you add comments, etc. and help me choose options and avoid mistakes. I'm new to LR so this is my first time modding an English vehicle. I come from german stuff like lifted rally lifted VWs, old BMW motorcycles, etc. This is my first "modern" car with electronics and about a billion sensors. As my son says, "we have air conditioning and our roof doesn't leak now" and "dad, you know we camp out of a trophy truck" -- lol. My VW would destroy any Jeep out there, drives like a dream on dirt, but good luck going over 80mph anywhere.

Made in Slovakia these days in a factory cleaner than most homes.

That’s quite a claim. Maybe you were just being hyperbolic, but if serious, I’d love to see details about your VW. I don’t remember ever seeing a VW of any description on any off-road trail in Utah, AZ, CO, NV, or CA, so I’m very interested in what you’ve done and to what vehicle.

This is the most lame apocalypse ever but we're getting all these off-road toys. What a weird timeline.
