Has anyone tried VTM?

Vinyl to match thier bumpers? My brother in law does graphic design for a vinyl company and I had an idea to wrap my bumper on my '05 screw... it came out friggin awesome Just waiting to take off the front bumper to finish it up. He said he could do any color vinyl but to add ink to it would fade some over time. Here are the pics

Very interesting. Not that I need it, but how much would that cost to do?

Not too sure actually, I could ask him how much he would charge though. He did tell me that the ink on the vinyl may fade over time if it's printed on and depending on how much sun it gets, the stuff on my truck is white unprinted laminated vinyl. Wouldn't be a bad deal to ask if you know someone that does it.

Looks nice!

that might be a good idea even for those of us with PTM bumpers... it would protect the paint from dings and scratches.

Now I do like that! Could they do flat black? I'd love to do my rear in flat black. The bumper that is.

I'd like to do that to both bumpers and the lower section of the sides, I have the two tone FX4 with the gray at the bottom and I was thinking about having the bumpers and sides line-xed or rhinoed black but this would be a good alternative.
