How much did it cost to do the whole vehicle? Also, how did you get the cargo carrier black? Is that from the factory or was that wrapped as well? I was asking my dealer and they only seems to think it came in silver.

The black lower trim doesn’t quite match the fender flares, but whatever.


What was the cost of this?! Looks great!

Everything was done by Diamond Auto in Westlake Village. They did the full satin body wrap. Wrapped the gloss black in clear. Ceramic tint on the front and side windows. Painted the wheels, the brakes calipers, the door handles and the lunch box. I think I was around 11k by the time I was done. Supremely happy with the finish and the service as mirrored by the other fella that just posted about Auri and Diamond Auto.

Around $9k. Took 8 working days- they removed all the body panels and wrapped them individually. I was told it was a more complicated job vs other vehicles.

Not bad! Did they also do clear bra on the gloss black paint, headlights, etc?

All the gloss black is done in stealth (I’m not a fan of gloss black - shows dirt too easily and this is NOT a mall-crawler)
The headlights were done in clear.

Is the black roof also done in stealth?

my defender is green with a black roof but haven’t seen any in that scheme with a stealth black roof.

@dj200 - LOVE that pic. Nice Defender. I like the wheels a lot. Well done there. I thought the Redbourne's didn't need spacers. Did you go that way for looks or were you getting rub with the 285's? Those are some WIDE tires for the Defenders.
