I know twraps has a DIY kit rated "hard" given curves and multiple pieces needed but I couldn't find much in the way of reviews. Have you put wraps (looking at 50% smoke) on a gen 2 and how did it come out?

The stadium lights are pretty easy, they're a mostly flat surface and it's very easy to remove and reapply if needed.

Honestly, the gen2 front lightbar with the indented line across the bottom seemed like more of a pain, I didn't bother applying that one with my full-body PPF kit from Twraps.

Since my kit's not smoked, you can't tell which panels have PPF and which I omitted.

I did the front using the TWraps kit - headlights and light bar. I have the least amount of patience for this type of stuff and it wasn't hard.

I used the "light smoke" 70% light / 30% dark kit. IMO, I wanted something that blended in. Anything darker and it stands out. I had the same kit on my LA Silver T and it was even more noticeable. On my S w El Cap, I think it's subtle and what I was after.

Beautiful! I am pretty patient so good to hear you were satisfied. Mine is Storm Blue and I've also been wavering over 70/30 vs 50/50 and I think you nailed it!

Thx. 70/30 or clear would be my pick.

I had a few tiny bubbles (again, I’m impatient) but they all disappeared after a day in the sun.

IIRC there was also an 8mil / 10mil option. I found the 10mil easier to work with - more forgiving on moving around and squeegee.
