i recently ordered a bulk shipment of summit white automotive vinyl through a local supplier. I have quite a bit left that I'm not going to use ( i covered my grille, front and rear bumpers, mirror caps, and handles in it) So i figured id see if anyone on here was interested in the remaining roll ( i have 8ftX20ft roll left in perfect condition) Im looking to get $100 for the roll which i think is pretty reasonable as i paid around $400 for entire roll when i ordered it which was 8ftx40 originally. Let me know what you think and if you have any questions.

 

 

Thanks :thumbs:

im located in Illinois, it is automotive vinyl that has a special backing that has "air release" properties. therefore all you have to do is apply a little area at a time and smooth it out, then using a heat gun heat the area and any bubbles it may have will disappear. the best part is its made for "beginners" so if you mess up or crinkle it all you have to do is lift it up, go over it with the heat gun briefly and the material will return to its original shape.

Man I want this...but I'm too scared of the install and messing it up.

you really can't mess it up, honestly, this style vinyl is a "beginners" style so it has allot of forgiveness. Look up some videos on youtube. if you you mess up a piece literally all you do is lift the vinyl, run over it with a heat gun and it lays flat again just like it was when you started. Its pretty neat seeing it do it actually.

I'm more concerned about cutting around the plastic trim inserts and such on the bumpers for a perfect fit...

oh you don't cut around them, take the plastics off; clean the bumper real well with a ammonia free cleaner and start wrapping then reinstall everything. Stuffs great, shines just like the paint, its wax-able just like paint, ect...

    • 287,500 Mile Service   8/13/2026   Reset Fuel Trims   Since the work done in the previous post there was a good improvement in response in all areas except right after a fill up where the LTFT would go -20%+ for about four miles while the STFT was near neutral. Before the work they both went very negative for a few miles after a fill up but act normal thereafter.    We did a systems check of the vapor recovery system for functionality and ability to hold a vacuum. That checked out fine. But this doesn't mean the charcoal canister is dead in the water. Testing that is next up. For now the reset of the fuel trims.    I intentionally shorted the fill exactly two gallons to eliminate any chance of filling the canister. On start up the trims were behaving normally until I got up and rolling where the LTFT went -10 / -11%% but the short was + 2 to 0%. Within a mile the the STFT offset the LTFT and by 2 miles they were neutral. HUGE improvement but still not hunky-dory.    I'll watch them for a few days. Perhaps another tank where I will fill completely to 'first click' and compare. Meanwhile on the hunt for a new canister and I'll toss another purge value at it for good measure. Pending the outcome of the canister test that is. Progress of any kind is welcome.    Fuel economy improvement with bringing hole #3 back to the living was a noticeable bump to the positive. Even on the few miles I drove after the refill I already see another bump up by the trims reset.     She's purring like a kitten with a warm bowl of milk.    BTW, adding 50 rpm to the idle took the majority of the negative timing out on cold start up and leaned the cold idle. No longer burbles in the cat. What a dumb way to heat a cat.      
    • Yeah, shame I can’t really get that filter easily anymore. Running a PureOne. Your fave!    TAN would be neat to see. Confirmation I ran it too long probably. 🤣
    • My son and I both bought new trucks in 2017. Both of us immediately put Truck Covers USA American Roll Covers on our trucks. My son still has his truck and it never sees the inside of a garage. We live in Alabama, so not much snow. My truck was my daily driver and was in the garage when I wasn't driving it or at work. No issues with either cover even after almost 9 years. About a year ago I sold my truck to my brother and bought a 2025 Silverado 2500. The second thing that I put on that truck was a new Truck Covers USA cover. They are very well made and have a very positive locking system. I looked at a Retrax and my concern was the way that the cover locked to the rail. BTW, the first thing I put on the new truck was step bars. Those new trucks are high!
    • The Allison 10 speed torque converter doesn't "lock up" like the previous transmissions. It has 4 operational modes; open, slip, transition from open to slip; transition from slip to open. I have an Edge CTS3 monitor and I monitor transmission torque converter slip. Step on the gas and you get a little slip. Take your foot off the gas and you get a little negative slip. I have not found a way to display the torque converter mode beyond that. My Edge CTS3 also displays something that our trucks should already display, the current gear. I also monitor throttle body position and engine load. If I see the engine load getting too high, I'll manually drop a gear.
    • Nice result. Your filter is working well  I'd have like to have seen the acid number for this sample. Curious type that I am.
