Yes I did.. Gave her the 2011 MDX, sold the TSX to her... sold the RX8... bought the S4 as an all around car..... for now

TSXy Luster

Oh, didn't know about the MDX. What do you think about the new one? Been hearing a bunch of TSX people moving on to that.

And what does she do with 2 vehicles now?

benben01

I like the interior and mechanicals of the new MDX. Just not crazy about the exterior styling.. Yeah, she has 2 cars and using the MDX for her business.

Wrapped all my console/window switch pieces. Didn't use a heat gun. Did almost all of the console while still in place before I knew how easy it was to take it out. Going to wrap grille later on in a month or two once I move into my new place. I'll document it.

What's a good program to easily make a video out of many videos? I'm too lazy and might just roll with the windows live movie maker that came with this comp.

iCrap

Live movie maker is actually not bad (its the best free one). I personally like Sony Vegas the best. If you just want to combine a bunch of clips then use live movie maker.

iCrap

Yeah that's what im trying to do. I just want gloss black. So do you just stretch it over and carefully press it down?

opboarding

Yep, pretty much exactly that. I would take out the center console though since its really easy.

iCrap

I'll probably take it out. Same thing for the front grille? For the lip there are tons of curves and bends so would i want to use some heat on that?

Harper

You don't really need to heat it up, but sometimes it makes it easier. You'll just have to experiment.

MC MiYoung3269

I used a heatgun for mine

iCrap

I'll probably just get a big roll then just in case i mess up.... i can always rip it off and start over i guess. Also do i want to spray it / wet it? I had thought with some vinyl you have to spray the back and then squeegee the excess out. Or is that just for decals or something?

Harper

That's for window tints, and some decals, haven't heard of that for vinyl.

no water.......for wrapping things.

get some 3M 1080 vinyl

iCrap

So this stuff should work? http://www.ebay.com/itm/3M-1080-Scotchprint-Gloss-Black-Vinyl-Vehicle-Wrap-Film-Sheet-60-x12-G12-/110914934698?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item19d30b97aa&vxp=mtr
Not sure if its enough to do both the trim peices and the front grille lip, but is that at least the right stuff?

opboarding

That's the exact vinyl I got for my b pillars and going to use on my grille later. Make sure to clean the pieces with rubbing alcohol before wrapping it. You might need more than that. Better to have more than you need incase you mess up or decide to wrap more pieces later on.

iCrap

Ok thanks, i'll go with that. Also you reminded me now that i also want to wrap my B pillars.

Do you have pics of the pillars wrapped?

benben01

anyone know how these "lock"? do they really work and does anyone want to try it?

robpp

iTrader: (2)

You no want metal caps with tpms.

They lock with that Allen set screw in the side.

Do a REAL MOD or save you money.

opboarding

Has everyone been asleep all day or something? 2g tsx section has been slooooooooowwwwwwww today.

iCrap

Does it interfere with the TPMS or something?
And yeah it just looks like it locks into place with the allen key on the side. Somebody could still probably get it off.

MC MiYoung3269

Where was mine?
I see how it is Ryan......
