7 dollar mod no joke....!!!!

SpawnAeroJohn · 06-15-2009, 10:12 PM

Vinyl can be bought on Ebay. If you have to purchase an entire roll. One person can purchase the roll, and part out the roll to other members for a few dollars.

Tubes to fit the vinyl can be bought at any postage facility (UPS, FedEx, USPS) or office store (office depot, office max, staples, even Walgreens sometimes) And shipping would cost a few bucks as well. So if one person decides to buy 20 yards. 1 yard should be enough for each person.

Just an idea.

Very good job, goes to show how much people get ripped off when having things like this done by somone else.

hmm that looks really good does vinyl ruin the paint at all? have you thought about applying vinyl to the roof too? and what do you guys think of carbonfiber vinyl?

simota1 · 06-16-2009, 04:50 PM

As long as you take off the vinyl under a year its harmless... the paint is stil shiny as it was b4 u put the vinyl on... but in this case just reapply it and u wont have problems at all...
