yeah my car (the green s14) is not exactly how i'd want it to look. i had a set of cr kais but i cracked one of them. then i had to buy some drift spares that ended up not fitting in the front. and guams roads are bad! i just got my bumper ripped off this morning actually. i think this is my 3rd time this month. I AM CHEAP. i dont want to spend on spacers or overfenders and i dont even want to get a real paintjob anymore since theres vinyl now.

Fix all that and it would still be mediocre.

No vinyl job with this stuff looks good. You have to patch it. This kind of vinyl is supposed to look good only from a far, not up close. Especially the chrome style, you can see the seams much more with it, over the sparkles.

soreballz · 04-27-2009, 03:32 PM

^The reflection on the ground looks really fucking cool. lol

SoCal-s130 · 04-27-2009, 03:36 PM

Is that the chrome green, Bill?

The sparkle colors dont always show up depending what angle, or weather conditions, thats why Kyle asked if it was Chrome or the Holographoc green.

My holographic purple doesnt sparkle in overcast, cloudy or dusk light.
only in mid day and nighttime.

dust seems to like the vinyl.
Some sort of static reaction or some shit....

Broke both fenders again last week and the bumper was in 4 peices.
all fiberglassed back together in under 2 hours and put back on.
revinyled.
good to go.
Vinyl's great for drift cars!

irax · 04-28-2009, 01:39 PM

Ok I see the point your making. BUT! that is only true if the car is in motion and the photographer doesn't have the appropriate settings on the camera. But standing still, with sunlight directly on it, it clearly shows that it is the chrome vinyl and not the holographic sparkles. I have yet to see a standstill photo where the holographic looked like chrome.

Yes I know I had the same color as you a while ago

TheRonTom31 · 04-29-2009, 10:17 AM

Man I feel like Chrome green would be more blinding than sparkle green

SoCal-s130 · 04-29-2009, 11:10 AM

It is. When I had my trunk vinyled chrome red I would look back and everyone's grills and shit would have that violent reflection on them.

derek king · 05-16-2009, 01:13 PM

fuck i wish i could afford paint lol

battlescar · 05-27-2009, 12:06 AM

took me like 4 hours to do one rim, it sucks. i just spray some soap water on it and than put it on, than waited like a hour for it to dry, than start cutting. man i give props to all the guys who did the whole fucking car.

irax · 05-27-2009, 01:52 AM

dude that is fucking sick! i would love to see that on a car drifting the high bank of irwindale!

shreeveco · 05-27-2009, 03:37 AM

i was thinking of doing the same with some wheels. glad someone gave me an idea of how it would look. shit's legit.

thatdrifterguy · 05-27-2009, 08:48 AM

hahaha! damn those look cool. i was gonna but idk. my cars gonna have too much bling.

BillWatcher · 05-27-2009, 01:01 PM

i think cus the flakes hide the cuts and patches really good, u cant really see them unless ur close and at a right angle.

battlescar · 05-27-2009, 10:56 PM

and i got a question to the guys who did the whole car too. on my rims there are some bubble spots, so i cut a line and let the air out or have one side stick over the other. but some of those bubble spots are like not as sticky. does that happen to u?

TheRonTom31 · 05-28-2009, 07:37 AM

The first time you drive with the wheel like that the heat from you brakes is going to ruin the adhesive on the vinyl and burn the vinyl and its going to peel and discolor and look like shit.

I tried it.

It failed.

battlescar · 05-28-2009, 03:05 PM

hmmm they still look fine i got them on for a few days. how long did it take yours to peel and discolor?

TheRonTom31 · 05-28-2009, 04:25 PM

I did some spirited driving and really heated my breaks up. Before that they were on for a week before the edges started to lift

CoreyS13 · 06-05-2009, 11:04 AM

How the fuck is this possible!
I bought a roll of Sparkly Black and its absouletly impossible.

I tried heat gun but it like makes sparkly haggard so I tried just putting it on with credit card and dry.

WHAT AM I MISSING, WHY IS THIS SO HARD!
