Finally found the old thread. Funny because I sent brandon@eas a message about this a year ago. He was selling the pre-cut kits for $110. Don't think he is on this forum anymore but sent a PM to someone else.

Hmm, interesting idea...

i cant imagine it being that hard to wrap it. prob use a heat gun, something with a straight edge to push the air out and a straight edge razor. i just see it being tedious. and if you fuck up rip it off and start a new

Sounds good. Good luck. Wonder how long the stuff holds up? Probably my only concern since I wash my car 1-2 times a week on average

Nebster · 03-08-2009, 06:05 PM

its vinyl - my old car had that shit on there stock and it held up fine.

its actually 10 bucks no matter how many rolls you order, so i'm ordering 3 and i'll have left overs for the meet

10 bucks? Thought it was $20? Maybe I can't read

Nebster · 03-08-2009, 06:10 PM

Try to take some shots of anything that is a little tricky or make notes for the rest of us pansy's.

Nebster · 03-08-2009, 06:11 PM

don't worry, i'm going to do it until i feel comfortable with it.

J BONE · 03-08-2009, 06:12 PM

Your the best bro! If it is easy, start making pre-cut sets then sell them.

Nebster · 03-08-2009, 06:15 PM
