I have toyed with the idea of wrapping my chrome grill with carbon fiber vinyl, or maybe the hood, or get crazy and do both.

I like the look of the bed liner rockers, have considered it myself. The height of the roof makes for a lot of white on my van too.

I ended up going with these. Good price. Not as snazzy as yours though.https://www.ebay.com/itm/Smoked-2000...-/132671839159

I ran a black band down the side of mine with 3M material. its about 8 inches wide. Ran from the body pinch line up to the window opening then ran it down and across the hood. I will try to post a picture. It really broke up the sea of white!

I had the aftermarket grille from SMB (circa 2004) powder coated last week. It had the chrome on the front with the black flat bars which was peeling. I'm very happy with the result. I had the poptop and roof Baja line-x'd about 9 years ago. There is a new finer texture Line-X available now (Ultra) that I have been researching. It would be perfect for the hood. Those KM3's and rims are new, less than 1 mile on them.

Looks great! Thx for reminding me line x has ultra fine I’m going to stop by and compare my rhino lined grill to see how much smoother it is and if price is comparable

Any automotive paint shop should be able to mix tint base for you. I have 2 local ones I use, never a problem. Buy the tintable Raptor (or whatever) and tell them what you’re doing.
