Haha it it is time consuming but panels like the rear quarter panels are easy, sadly I didn't realize the nightmare I was getting into. The front bumper, 08 hood, rear bumper, trunklid and especially the mirrors are complete chaos between all the curves and you will find yourself with a bunch of...
Very interesting.
Off topic but I dont want to start another thread, does anyone know the approximate heat a stock gen 3 engine gives off underneath the hood? 3m claims that their vinyl can withstand temps up to 225 degrees
Since im not a VCA member, they would run me $425 on there :(
I called the collision shop that I bought the hood from (I believe sponsor here) and all they have is new ones. But I will be keeping my eye out for them and if i find them, I will be hitting you up for where to get those pins...
well I have my gen IV hood on my car now and I am ordering the hood silencer, push pins, foam and deflector today. At a price of around $500 bucks for the 6 hood grills, I'm completing buying some plastic honeycomb mesh and mounting them under the hood. Possibly metal and giving it a slight bend...
Thanks for the replies. Id post pics but i dumped water on my main computers keyboard and have to install it in my laptop yet. There is a company about an hour from me that does headlight restoration and supposedly the do put the UV coating back starting at 50 a headlight. Im just hoping that it...
When I was vinyling my car, I noticed that some of the coating on the headlight was peeling off. I dont know if the vinyl pulled it off in certain spots that I had the vinyl laying on it, or if it was peeling before. Anyway, what is the best perminant fix for this? going to a body shop, having...
So I have been vinyl wrapping my srt vert and im going to be applying the stripes as soon as the car is done. I was looking at pictures of stripes and I noticed that on some on the verts that the lower center section of the bumper is blacked out. I thought maybe it was something they started in...
The Evo is a great car. It is the perfect blend of performance and practicality. The Viper being just a toy, I wanted something that was practical (Was supposed to drive the car all year round, but i loved to the so much that i drive my 98 neon in the rain and snow) and performed well. After...
Definitely true in regard that the 3m material and vinyl wrap are different. Vinyl is much more My Evo has the 3m paint protection on it that I installed. Lots of soap solution, alcohol solution and heat. I had a pre cut kit and the stuff is so thick that it is very difficult to work with (a...
I am wrapping mine with the 3m 1080 vinyl. The vinyl is fairly reasonable. I got a 40ft x 5 ft wide roll for $440 and a 5ft x 5 ft piece for about $80, just because I wanted to try it out before wasting a ton of money if it wasn't possible for me to do it. I have about one side of my car done...
Thanks man, hopefully he can give me some insight on this project. I thought I read somewhere that it was his but I remember seeing pics of his car and its black. Guess he got sick of the white.
I am currently have been vinyl wrapping my viper and have ran into an issue. The front end is a complete nightmare where the cross hair grill is. It looks like/ I read that this is a vinyl wrapped viper. Does anyone know the car/ the owner? Id like to get some detail pics of where the cuts are...
I have started vinyl wrapping my car and I attempted the door with the mirror on. Unfortunately it is a PITA to work around and besides ill also have a seam. How difficult is it to take the side mirrors off?
I just did my white evolutions wheels in white. i was amazed on how well it came out. I am just curious to see how body panels look with it on them/ how hard it is to paint a car using the spray gun plasti dip and not the aerosol type. Yea I figured there is a serious art to laying down vinyl...
Well after looking for a new project to get myself into (Been working on the Evo lately) I have decided that I want to change the color of my viper from silver to bright orange. I dont want to do anything permanent so that only left 2 options. Vinyl, which I see tons of exotics wrapped in. The...
Along with a set of wheels, I am getting an 08+ style hood for my 03 silver vert.( actually plan on replicating bmw2nv2000's old car) The Vipair hood just looks evil with its larger scoop. But I have heard that some people dont have flawless fitment and finish like they do with OEM, while others...
Its time to get those, 08 hood and graphite gray stripes on my silver vert. By the way Flatout, I saw a pic somewhere of a set of wheels you have/had done in carbon fiber. Gorgeous.
Id love to see pics of all of your cars with iForged astras on them. If anyone has a silver vert with the anthracite wheels, id like to see them since thats what I want to invest in. By chance if anyone wants to sell a set of these, let me know. If not, Ill have to place an order :headbang:
