bubbly!

 

Overlays were made from a template I made and some Red transparent vinyl I bought locally the other day

I'm going to do some more testing tomorrow for the template design to see if a two piece set would work better because of that dam edge :\

 

oh dammit.
where do you buy it locally?

autozone?

ive never seen it in a store.

 

Try calling custom sign shops. Or get lucky like mc and have a custom graphics shop around.

Much easier and cheaper to get on ebay. So many choices, and all will do the exact same thing. Here's the brand I got that is still sitting in my closet.

i looked at rvinyl.
is that stuff the tacky sticker stuff as well?

i just dont want to end up with red window tint.
that stuff is a nightmare to work with on curves.

would a single order of the 24in be enough for both sides?

 

Not too sure about that, and that's more than enough. A square foot of vinyl could make 2 sets

 

It is sticky. The vinyl is thicker than regular window tint. If you don't mess up, you should be able to get all vinyled with the 2'x2'. It's really difficult to get it around those curves on our lights. Heat will help, but you will still get frustrated. At like $8 for 2'x2', it's really not a big deal if you mess up or need more.

 

yea. i went ahead and ordered 2 of the 24x24 or whatever.
figured id account for fuck ups.

with free shipping though, its no biggie if i need to order more.

that curve is a bitch. i tried tinting it with window tint when i first got the car.
i did the center piece no problem but that curve just wasnt happening.

i do much better with vinyl. hehe

 

Just did the Driver side light and it turned out a hell of alot better with two pieces. Only flaws was that there was wind and some specs of dust got on the vinyl and made a lil bubble but I'm not too bothered by it to the point of re doing to lol

 

wow that looks great

 

Look awesome

 

Sell me some cut outs I tried And I suck ...or can u send me the wax paper lol

 

rofl. me too!

actually, thats not a bad idea.

once i get mine, ill see if i can create a template or something.
if it turns out well. lol

 

 

lookin good!

 

If you guys seriously want them I wouldn't mind selling them

 

Looks good fgt

 

Now wrap the lower part of the rear bumper in matte black. Looks so good on white cars.

 

Looks good. Can you the BMW reverse light style?

 

Yes mam it does...

Might as well get an Aero bumper if I wanna do that I actually like it the way it is now Just needa get started on the reflector LED now....

You mean like the lil strip? JoeBlow tried it I think, and said it didnt look right lol

 

lol if i didnt already order my film, id be game.

make a template and upload PDF imo.

if you dont, i can give it a shot when i get my filmz

 

Too lazy and won't be to scale lol unless I can find a way to make it exact

 

hands down you did the best job on the tail lights

 

ok ill take one .lol

 

I thought defcon did it too, I liked the way it looked. MDX has reverse lights like that.

 

._____.



I'm scheduled tomorrow to get the new ball joints. Let's see how this goes..... Gonna get a rental so no idea how long this'll take :\

 

FFFF you haha I think the BWM style reverse looks legit.

 

 

i want BWM style reverse! but only if they don't look like BMW ones...those look gay

 

i agree.

i finally got around to doing mine.. they look ok at best. few bubbles and one nasty wrinkle up close.

i did one side in 2 pieces and the other in a single piece. oddly, the single piece was waay easier.

just be sure to heat the hell out of the film.
that stuff doesnt stretch as easy as CF wrap.

 

Lol, my single pice side is messed up. bubbles everywhere and just looks nasty up close. Can't really tell from a distance though XD

 

yea. thats about how mine turned out.
it looks awesome from about 2 ft away.

looks like shit when you get up on it.

 

bai bai~


Hello~

 

Yall are blind

 

Sorry, I'm Asian. It still doesn't look right to me lol

Well aint that some shit, Stealership is saying they cant replicate the problem.... Fucking dumbasses.... It specifically states on the TSB that the problem occurs in hot weather It's ranging around 50F-65F here. Seeing that the TSB also says 09-12 ALL I'm guessing they cant pull a vin match for the problem.... le sigh...

 

Well that's some bull, they didnt change the ball joints and just told me to go back when the weather gets warmer -_-

 

Random pic from when I got it back :\ dat 70-200 sharpness 8DDD
