Yeah, I just did a real simple partial wrap on the roof of my truck. There were a few little striation bubbles like that right on the rain channel. Hit it with a little heat (I used a handheld crack torch) and they almost shrunk away on their own like shrink tube. A quick finger press and voila! Done.

Quote: Did you use a heat gun or hair dryer where you pulled it over the contours? I see some slight bubbling and *think* that heat should have taken care of that.

I'm far from an expert, but those bubbles should lay down if you heat it and mush it a little bit.
We used a hair dryer. It made some of it easy, but some spots still difficult. The green vinyl is very thin and easier to work with unlike the carbon which was much harder to apply. I knew it wasn't going to be perfect, but if we ever do it again, I know it will be done much better.

shoot...try using the brushed aluminum stuff, THAT stuff sucks the majorest of azzes. Put a crease, the line don't disappear...tears...ugh. I was able to do the tail bezel in carbon wrap once, biggest pita ever too...and didn't look perfect.

I've been thinking of covering my hood silver parts + trunk silver part in black vinyl, you think it's gonna be real difficult? :S

Awesome...it's like that tough-as-nailz-looking-dude with the giant muscles at the gym and hard-core who wears Ed Hardy and a touque to work-out...

He has tribal symbols tattooed on his body and then this awesome tattoo written in Chinese character...what does it say in Chinese? Seafood.

I've been tempted to approach him and ask him why he has "seafood" tattooed on his arm but he doesn't look too friendly and he's got his tunes going really loudly too in his ear...

Don't want to interrupt him when he's in such a zone.

Evening gentlemen!

Out of curiosity, anyone have experience with Centric's C-TEK line of brake pads?

I'm a little limited with pad choices since I have RL calipers going on in front, and I'm wondering if I should go the extra 50$ or so for the EBC Redstuffs front and back. I was thinking of actually doing slightly more aggressive pads in the rear a la Redstuffs, and then using Centric or Akebono pads in the front.

I had a snarky reply but then I remembered you're up there in

See, down here in S̶o̶u̶t̶h̶ ̶A̶m̶e̶r̶i̶c̶a̶ C̶e̶n̶t̶r̶a̶l̶ ̶A̶m̶e̶r̶i̶c̶a̶ 'Murica (dunno, what do you guys call us?), we have this thing called a quesadilla. It's a grilled tortilla with cheese and fillings. Poor people just have cheese melted in it. Fat Cats put stuff like steak or lobster or gold dust in it (I'm not sure of that, I've never been to anyone's mansion).

I created this wonderful fusion style quesadilla: it's Scotch-Asian-Mexican.

It's a grilled tortilla with Fiesta Queso (that's what it says on the bag, it means party cheese) and white rice.

¡Ole!

rust.
to give people credit; most people dont know anything about cars.
even tho this is an "enthusiast" site, most people are clueless when it comes to cars.

sure, to us...it's common sense, as we see these kinds of things on a daily basis... but to others who arent about that car life and have other priorities in life, rust can be alarming.

kinda like the time I dug up my sewage drain pipe...since, I dont see or dont deal with PVC piping on a daily basis...i was completely lost on how to fix a simple repair with bends.
the plumbers made it look so easy

Yes I'm aware of the Mexicants cuisine, I eat some facsimile version of it every once in a while but a tortilla with party cheese on it... oh boy.
