i just want to point out that i dont sell vinyl or install vinyl... but im more than happy helping with the info that i have.

i made a template (pic and doc) with what parts require how much vinyl and how to maximize
your pieces. i also have a color code document that i came across when i was looking to purchase my own.

I hear you on the blue. I think it looks great on other's cars but I don't think I could ever do it to mine. Your car still looks wicked!

looks really good. i'd like it better with the wing, and perhaps some aggresive wheels. diamond black TEs?

Looks cool! But how long will the vinyl last? Rain, snow, etc.? Do you plan on eventually painting it that color? I think it looks great though!

dirtycookiex - yes i was, ill be at mod also

ev0l0ve - i have the trunk with the wing in the garage, also vinyl'd... so i can switch at any time. gonna go with some volk te37 18x9.5 +22 titanium gunmetal whenever i can get my hands on them.

randog - its not paint. gonna stay away with blacked out, im not into the whole murdered thing... dont need to fit in with that in socal... just saw a prius murdered out the other day. ill pass.

nj9mr - thank you. 7/8 years is what it says. dont know about snow, but dont have to worry about that in cali. rain will be fine... but i assume you have cars/vans/trucks that have advertising on them in nj, so its the same material as them. nope, if i get bored of this ill go back to graphite grey... or maybe even matte grey.

also added new pics to front page

flow1 - ive been thinking about the carbon side rails and i plan to do cams and tune. ive been considering the rally innovations light bar, but am not sure if that will look better or worse. id like to do a front lip also, but think id just scrap it all over the place on my daily drive (driveways, parking garages, ect are just too steep)
