Does this guy live in Vegas? I swear i saw a similar car yesterday. Had blacked out taillights tho... knew id regret not taking a picture. Doesnt look like vegas in the pics tho.

Up close it looked like it was paint, i dont touch peoples stuff, but i assume that would be the only way to tell.

Where do you get the bulk vinyl for this cheap? They're talking about different grades of vinyl and adhesion. Huh? I just want to be pointed in the right direction.
This seems like a great paint alternative.
Do you wax the vinyl?

This is a great idea if you just went to vinyl the rear bumper of your car. I want to do this to the rear of my C5. Need to find out where they sell it...

if it can be easily removed with heat, i wonder how it would hold up in 110 degree weather in phx. maybe it will just make it stick better, like pinstriping.

If you look through the Autoblog comments on the bottom of their page he posted saying that he had a hookup with all of the vinyl. I guess thats how he got for so cheap
