The problem is that I don’t know how long I have before the failure spreads. Will it look like shit in 6 months or so I have years? I don’t know that this truck is nice enough to spend $10k on an all over (so far all the places I talked to don’t do all overs). Plus, it isn’t MY truck like my 08, isn’t garage kept like my 08, and the kids and wife don’t care like I do so I don’t need it too nice but I don’t want it looking like complete shit either.
So do I do the hood and roof and wait for the doors to get worse? I need to replace the window appliqués because they’re all faded and broken and the wind noise is terrible but those will need to come off to paint the doors and those clips are insane and don’t really appear to be designed to be removed and reinstalled (I replaced them on my 08). I could probably get the tops of the doors and quarters painted and blended. I could also rewrap the roof and get the hood and tops done. I could rewrap the roof and wrap just the tops of the doors, not sure exactly where it would look good to stop the wrap. Then it still needs a new front bumper because it’s damaged and the paint looks bad. I also want to get the headlights either wrapped or sanded and cleared to keep them in good order since they cost $2k a side. Even the cheap route is going to cost a fortune.
There’s also the fact that I’ve never had a vehicle longer than 5.5 years which has been due to various reasons. I’m pretty sure my 08 Escalade will break that curse and I had intended for the Yukon to as well but I also wasn’t planning on having 3 kids.
