Default New Wrap and DLUX fab sway bar, rear links

Finally had some spare time to throw my new custom wrap on the XL. I also went ahead and installed the DLUX Fab rear sway bar and rear upper link.

I already have the freqeskinz wrap on my 380, but I want all of my cars to match. So my plan is to redo the 380, I've already done my wraith. So all three will have the same wrap on them.

The DLUX sway bar and links are awesome, it really tames the twist. I ended up going with the thickest bar for the XL. I can now go full throttle on 4s and still keep it under control.

How do you like those wheels? I love the look but they only have 1 review on rc4wd and it's bad.

Great quality, the beadlocks work really well. Since they're stamped they are heavy though. That's my only complaint about the wheels and 40 series tires, the weight.

Looking good, what would you say the wrap width needed for the biggest part, the hood, 8" ?

Noooo, if you're doing one piece like I did it would have to be at least 10" maybe 11" to be safe. Because you'll be stretching and conforming into and over corners and creases, it's best to have a little over.

It's harder to put on if it's one piece, especially the hood and side panels. But I like the look better than multiple strips like the freqeskinz come.

The heads are from the new star wars rebels 12" figures. I pulled the heads off, I cut the bottom plate off of two yeti xl helmet heads. Glued the plate onto the bottom of the trooper heads, then screwed them on to the bodies like normal.

I then painted the white trooper body by hand.

I'm sure there are other ways to do it. But that's how I did it.
