Default My 2021 90 X P400 Build

This is going to be my build thread for my daily 90.

First day I got it:






Got the windows tinted 20% with XPEL Prime XR+ a week later, also had the STEK windshield film installed as well. Removed the stupid front license plate bracket - getting a local shop to either paint match the trim, install bumper plugs, or run a license plate bracket with a 10" LED light bar.





Then I went off roading near a few trails near me and didn't watch to damage the paint. Was 50/50 on doing full satin PPF or a different color, but decided to get it wrapped in Inozetek Chalk Grey for the main body, satin black hood/top and gloss black on the bottom. Should be done soon.





Future mods:

10" or 12" LED midnight light bar
3" yellow POD spot lights
Xprite Discovery Plus rock lights
20" Redbourne Alston satin black spokes/Starlight satin chrome face on either Nitto Terra Grappler or K02's
Raised Intake

Dramatic change. I love to see these wraps because I don't love any standard colors. Was going to satin wrap my Hakuba but I saw one the other day and it looked bad. Dry, dull, dirty, just looked like old faded shi**y finish.

Yours looks almost like paint in the pictures. Really nice depth and gloss.

How does it look in person?

I feel like you can't have the whole body a solid color - you need to break it up. If you had wrap the top portion gloss black, with a white roof, and satin silver, it'll look good.

This film doesn't have orange peel like other brands, so it looks very slick/painted, and in person it looks amazing.

Strongly agree that it needs contrast, especially in the back. I ordered a gloss black roof because I think the lines look better when the rear pillar "connects" to the roof.

Thank you so much for this post! My son went back and forth on his Bronco order. He wanted Eruption Green so bad but we couldn't see it so I ordered a rattle can of it from a body shop and tried it out. Turns out it has a ton of gold fleck and it's nowhere near the same in person. He gave in and ordered silver. Then I see this:

They really have some nice colors! Vampire Red Metallic or Metallic Midnight blue on a Defender...

This was the color I had choose originally, but IMO you can't go wrong with anything on the Defender:

Inozetek khaki green
