New guy. My 2024 Maverick XL build

[VinylImagination]

It shouldn’t be too much. I think the the piece of wrap I bought was $10. I even had a bunch left over). I did it myself took about an hour. Patience is the key word! A good hot hair dryer will help or better with heat gun. Hardest part was getting the cut line on each side. To do it again I would use a thick piece of tape right at the edge of where you want to cut. Overlap the wrap on the tape. Fresh razor blade (or get a couple scalpels off Amazon). And gently cut the wrap without going through the tape. Pull the tape out from under the wrap. Easier if there is only a couple millimeters left under the wrap. Heat and stick the edge of the wrap down!
And thanks!

Looks good.
Rather than using knives/scalpels to trim it. I would suggest knifeless tape. You lay down knifeless tape before applying the vinyl where you want the line, apply the vinyl, pull the knifeless tape filament and done!

I tried that and didn’t have any success. It was operator error I’m sure. I just ended up running a razor blade down the tape line and pulling it off. No damage to the paint.

After waiting 8 months for my truck to arrive and lots of planning for what mods I wanted I’m almost done .
It’s a ‘24 XL, 4K, tailgate lock. No other options. (I hate all the electronics).
so the list of stuff is; and most obvious, the wheels. Focal “F448” 18x8 40mm off set. (Don’t get these wheels! They require a center drive extra long lug nut, stupid design) milestar m392 255/65/18 tires. The wheels are color matched with Seymour “gray” color number 61. (For those looking for a matching color inexpensive spray paint.) I “wrapped” the center section of the front bumper. EGR vent shade's. cheap Chinese Tri fold cover. Lasfit switch back bulbs. Cheap led back up bulbs. A green filter in the air box. A fair amount of faux carbon fiber bits for interior looks. I got a duraliner bed liner but it’s garbage. Fit is just ok. Holes where you don’t need them and no holes where you do. Doesn’t come with the tailgate piece(I dont understand this). So I had to order a separate piece. I have 6 red tie downs (factory ones painted red) there are pre taped holes for 6.
up next is a good-win rear sway bar. Tint front side windows. And an exhaust system. Also is a bed rack I’m currently assembling to haul kayaks and occasional lumber. (Looks like a Thule but cheap Chinese copy) adjustable height and will hold more weight than I will ever need. Also looking at the Mabett? Fender flares. I like the idea of the black running all the way down the sides. Thanks for checking it out!

Hey Tod.

Welcome to the club and congratulations on getting your Maverick!

Now that you have it, perhaps one of the first mods is to add a Maverick Truck Club decal so you can properly “represent.”

Two styles/sizes available:

Maverick Truck Club Decal (Glossy) | MaverickTruckClub - 2022+ Ford Maverick Pickup Forum, News, Owners, Discussions ($5 delivered)

Maverick Truck Club Decal (Transfer) | MaverickTruckClub - 2022+ Ford Maverick Pickup Forum, News, Owners, Discussions ($6 delivered)

As with all things there is a technique.
You did a nice job with the method you used, and if you're happy that's what counts.

Ya. I saw someone do this to an older escape and thought it looked good. I haven’t seen any one else with a maverick do it yet. Maybe I’ll start a trend .

That section of wrap on the front is simple yet it makes it distinctive. Great idea. I like it a lot.

Nice!!
I have the same truck coming in the next 8 days or so. Only difference is no tailgate lock option.

Thanks. The maverick is a great platform for “making it your own”.

Pickup mine up today. 37 MPG and was a joy to drive. I sure it stands up to this rough country I live in. I have the same truck as OP except the tailgate lock option.

Nice Man! I waited two years..um, glad I did! Safely parked in our new New Mexico 3 car garage instead of out in the elements (carport) in Honolulu.

2 years!!!??? I gotta get my garage cleaned out (we just moved in. Honestly!). I’m glad I waited the 8 months. The more I learn about this little truck the more I like it.
