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...

    • Breaking News!    I'm going to tell you that I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I told  you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm about to tell you on the other side of the break.  Then we're going to break. Then I'm not going to tell you what I told you I was going to tell you.  But I'll tell you something else that is Breaking News just coming to the desk that everyone reported on yesterday.  Then I'll tease a human interest telling I'll get to on the other side of a larger break. Then I'll tell you one item in 20 seconds and go back to an even longer break. Longest break of the night.  Then I'll tell you a fluff piece that takes 10 seconds and sign off into a three minute break while you wait for the next 30 minutes of rinse and repeat on the local news.    In al you'll get about 12 minutes of something, 5 minutes of which is worth hearing in a 30 minute show and 18 minutes of advertising at a sound level twice as loud as the news.    Of course you can switch to cable news and hear 12 different people tell the same four stories in much the same format as the Network News for 20 hours of which the majority will be advertising.  And four hours of late night Specials about things you wonder why you stayed up to listen to. Half of which will be repeats.....   OR you can go for a drive  
    • Did you ever figure this out? My 2022 Trail Boss, and now my 2026 LT did this from time to time.  I believe it was more connected to Android Auto and my phone being the cause. Maybe try going for a drive, sans cell phone.... and see if it happens? 
    • I have a 2026 Silverado LT, the non bose as well.  Upgrading the door speakers is pretty straightforward. You could honestly go to walmart, or Auto Zone/ O Reilly and get a set of 6x9s for the front, and 6.5s for the rear. You do also have to get some adapters for each, but they are like $10 a pair on Amazon. Then some plug and play harnesses that are about $10 a pair on Amazon as well.  And I would also suggest a 10 pack of the Amazon Basics sound deadening. Slap that all around the speakers and on the open metal of the inside of the door. And your golden.   I am currently doing this with my Silverado. Although I am having a bit of trouble because I am snooby I guess and bought some Alpine S2 S69c's which are 2 way components and I am having to wire from the door up to the dash....  Having never installed speakers before, its taking me just a bit to get everything correct. But if you dont buy expensive component speakers, and just some $40-$50 door speakers. You will DRASTICALLY improve the sound over these stock paper cone junk speakers. I thought my Silverado had an issue with the radio/ sound for a while.  Come to find out.  The stock speakers are just THAT SH*TTY   I cannot wait to have some decent sound in the truck   What did you end up doing?
    • Its all automatic based on yaw sensor data.  If enough incline is detected, it engages.   My recommendation though would be to disengage it before driving off and not let it auto disengage by touching the gas pedal.  The HD trucks use the same setup as prior years, the drum in hat park brake.  But now with an electric actuator.  If you drive off repeatedly over time, it can torque the park brake shoes and can also prematurely wear them out.           Electric console shift will set the park brake on flat ground too.  Pretty sure they've got it programmed to activate every time.
