haha, hence why I like DIY mods

hahah, thank you =] the college/internship + vinyl part was the hardest..

thank you!

hey, I haven't tinted them yet, but thanks for the info, I'll get in touch with them and see what I can do!

thanks everybody. I need to stop spending money for a little while, then tints.

That's so small compared to the roll sizes that are sold- I can probably get you a little piece though, do you have a pic of what you want to wrap?

I need to have a cool looking photoshoot sometime..soon! Bethlehem steel mills probably.. http://berzindesign.com/vinyl/z5.jpg http://berzindesign.com/vinyl/z2.jpg http://berzindesign.com/vinyl/z4.jpg http://berzindesign.com/vinyl/z3.jpg http://berzindesign.com/vinyl/Z1.jpg anddd... I vinyl-ed a friend's dash because it was all stained with coffee I think- 3M di-noc carbon fiber vinyl on the top part: http://berzindesign.com/vinyl/za1.jpg http://berzindesign.com/vinyl/za2.jpg

and you just need it for a center console piece, like just a few square feet of it?

yeah the 5 spoke wheels are on the easier side. you'd just need to make them veryyyy clean before you wrap them so the vinyl sticks well. and even if the vinyl doesn't hold up really well, its such a small job it wouldn't be too bad. I also do think it would hold up for a decent amount of time (unless you go banging it on curbs) ha, professionally- no. I had wrapped little things before like the trip, a laptop..but this was my first (and last? haha) car I don't think it'd change the snow or ice

What color/finish vinyl?

They're good questions. My brother wants me to wrap his rims for his x5- the one problem I could see is with wrapping really complex/tons of spoked rims. I don't know about durability for this tho washing- NO waxing (ever!), no automated car washes that touch your car wish those octopus things- I either hand wash or take it to the local sheetz automated (touchless) car wash

yeah, I had my share of scratches on the car as well as some rock chips. You can't see any scratches or smaller chips through the film at all, and it is really good for covering stuff up. If they chips are big enough, tho, you'll be able to see the divots or what not through the vinyl

bump... does anyone know something that cortez and I don't know?

durability: I've gotten tons of mud, sap, etc/ on it for extended period of time, after its washed its back to normal. Up close, its flat black vinyl...hmm I'll post a pic. i would post more pics but its still raining. if it ever stops... I'll go shoot some good ones

Jazzy, I sent in payment yesterday, please PM me to confirm you received it

I just need to find a good/cheap tint shop in nj

this will have to do until I can take some proper ones tomorrow.. had to drive back to college today and now its dark =[ http://berzindesign.com/vinyl/front.jpg

hey everybody... ironic that I literally just finished putting on the replacement vinyl, and just finished? nice timing! Looong story.. it kinda sucks that it took so long.. I'll post about it later, with finished pics as well- I have to go wash the rest of the car before I can take pictures of it

spotted a silver LGT with rims pulling a boat on route 78 just across the PA/NJ border this morning..

I have bad luck... Friday the 13th Got hit with a chunk of semi tire, scratched up the paint on my front bumper, reallly scratched the hood vinyl. sigh

you can't see any ABP in the door jams now, I covered the inside of the gaps where it previously showed through

Haha thanks everyone. I'm really anxious to get the new vinyl in so I CAN FINALLLYYY FINISH THISSSS

I'm having the problem vinyl replaced, and I will redo the doors when I get it in..hopefully next week! and yeah, I'm glad I waited for the bumper- having to do it twice because of the defective vinyl would have sucked!

the problem: http://berzindesign.com/vinyl/y2.jpg the car: http://berzindesign.com/vinyl/y1.jpg http://berzindesign.com/vinyl/y5.jpg http://berzindesign.com/vinyl/y4.jpg http://berzindesign.com/vinyl/y3.jpg
