Im not gonna do this wrap at the meet, but wanna watch it done for someone. I got the AE kit today to make them DRLs and will be doing that up at the meet.

awesome!!!

yeah the vinyl sucks, i mean its good quality, it just sucks to do. mine isn't perfect and i'm sure people will see some smaller bubbles but i'm sure the more i'll do it the better it'll be.

i want to test the durability and wanted to see how it worked. So one side then i'll do the other side tomorrow

J BONE · 03-24-2009, 09:25 PM

Looks good Ben. Interested in seeing how it holds up. Probably my biggest concern. Most guys say it will last 4-6 years...Long enough for me. I will def have a new car by then!

J BONE · 03-24-2009, 09:26 PM

How long did it take for one side? I can get the shit pre-cut for $50, think that is worth it or not? You would still have to cut it a little though.

Where can you get it pre-cut? I think I would want to go this way if I could.

CubanJJ09 · 03-24-2009, 09:32 PM

brandon@eas. Not sure if he has opened this up to everyone but I send him a PM a while back. At one time, last year, he was selling the pre-cut vinyl. Thought about doing it last year but decided not to. Now that I have the mod bug, thinking about it again.

no you'll need to trim it regardless. No point in spending 50 bucks for pre cut when you can get the shit i did.

J BONE · 03-24-2009, 09:43 PM

So how long did it take for the one side?

335iPaul · 03-24-2009, 09:54 PM

I was just thinking the pre-cut may be off a wide sheet of vinyl (such as a couple food wide) so that you wouldn't have to try to bend it around the curves. My thought is that with the thinner strips that you may have some trouble getting them around the bends or corners. Maybe I am just full of shit though and don't know what I am talking about.

Nebster · 03-24-2009, 09:57 PM

took about 45 min to do the one side. and after the one side i'm sure it will go very quickly. I'm anticipating like 30 min for the other side

imho, 50 dollars for the pre cut is redic when you have to cut it regardless. The stuff stretches so well theres not a need to have it pre cut.

UdubBadger · 03-24-2009, 10:06 PM

hahaha alex, you're such a d-bag
