If you mean the Toyota grill and logo... honestly didn't even notice it is not wrapped until you just pointed it out. It matches well with everything in person. If I start noticing it... (Now that ya'll pointed it out!)... I'll wrap it as well.

... The rest of the front is wrapped in Black.

I didn't want to post until I got permission from the owner. I paid more because I had a lot of tint work done as well (including front windshield and moonroof). He said average cost for this type of wrap (2 tone) would be $3300. I am assuming single tone would be cheaper.

Did you add to factory moonroof tint if so what percentage?

80% on moonroof and on windshield. It was mostly for the purpose of blocking out heat from the sun... I used ceramic tint.

Did a lot of electrical work today. Will post in several posts so I can comment on each individually...

ARB fridge installed. Easy install... used the ARB outlet and wiring kit to go from battery to cargo area. Easy to hide wires under door trim panels. I didn't hide them in cargo area as they sit behind the fridge and it was getting late. Also installed fridge monitor in center console box so I can monitor but it's not exposed (as it is kinda ugly).

I installed a switch from aironboard.com and used a 30 amp relay (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

Only reason I used this specific relay is because it was the largest gauge wires I could find as you need thick wires to get from battery to cargo area per ARB. Seems to be working fine so far.

I used the relay and switch to easily control when fridge is on as I do not have dual batteries yet. Plan to eventually.

Next was the front parking sensors... I needed them as I park about 2" away from wall in my carport to make sure I am blocking maximum amount of sun. I only installed two on front bumper as that is all I needed. Ordered this kit on amazon... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Also installed a switch for it as I did not plan to connect it to the obd port and wanted ability to turn it on/off only when parking. Photo of switch is in post above. Few photos inside here. It is too dark to take photos of the sensors outside but can take some later if requested...

Next up was the cell mount and charger for it. Cell mount (RAM) is basically what a lot of people on this forum have done. Nothing special. Used bolts instead of double sided tape to make sure it stays in place. Turned out solid. I wanted a USB charger next to RAM mount so I don't have wires all over the place. Found a nice spot. Tapped into the cig lighter port on the lower part of the dash for power. Need to buy a 6 inch charging cable though...

Lastly... installed the Alpine ILX 309 unit. Easy install (surprisingly). I basically followed the Youtube instructional video for most of it. I ended up using the PDF on the website for the wiring portion though... as I have an Alpine sub and amp and it required a different wiring setup. Install went flawlessly.

Only modification I made was the plastic trim panel. I have black(ish) trim from the factory. The Alpine unit ONLY comes with silver trim. Initially I planned to take apart the trim from the unit and get it wrapped or painted. I later discovered that it's impossible to do that because you need to totally dissemble the head unit to separate the screen from the rest of the unit. I took off like 15 bolts and then I gave up as it seemed like I can break something.

I ordered the Metra dash kit from amazon. It came in a gray color (not black as advertised).

I ordered the same Metra dash kit from Crutchfield. It matched the color of my stock trim perfectly. Not sure why the issue with Amazon?

Anyways... I broke off the silver trim that came with the Alpine unit and easily installed the Crutchfield Metra kit. Came out perfect.

The unit is extremely easy to adjust up/down and tilt once installed so I set it to how I wanted it (not blocking the vents).

I saw a couple of people do this on the forum but behind the screen there was a large gap that you can see into the electronics of the dash. The Alpine unit came with a plastic box to block out that gap. I installed that box on the Metra kit and it worked perfectly to look as clean as possible...

Does it tilt or move freely with alittle pushing or do you need tools. I had an old flip out deck years ago in a jeep and it was motorized to tilt at will (helpful when the sunlight hits it)

That wrap looks killer, love how you left a little more of the black front/ rear exposed for accent. really makes the wrap pop and ads depth. wheel spacers, fender flares and black rims would set this off.
