Default Updated pics...

Went home this week for spring break and worked on some appearance mods.

I started off by removing the halo from my headlights and doing the whistler mod. Then i wrapped the hardtop in matte black vinyl. Had enough material left over so i wrapped my side mirrors and rims. The rims were a pain in the ***. Spent about an hour and a half on each .

Next time i go back down i will probably do the insert on the hood in matte black.

sorry for the crappy iphone pics



yes i know they look bad *** without the black inserts but the crappy bottom pics dont do the vinyl justice. BTW...i could always peal off the vinyl when i get tired of the look.

Thanks... I had no bubbles or imperfections. I had been wanting to paint the top black but thought that a matte blk would look better. The material is from Avery. Pretty much their top if the line removable vinyl (up to 7yrs or something). Had no bubbles or wrinkles and because the material is really thin, u will notice the slightest imperfections.

Ya, i did the rims. It took forever. Hopefully they last a while.

Thanks
