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...

    • Hey everyone,   For anyone looking at roof-mounted lighting for the Hummer EV, we wanted to share our M&R Automotive 50" PRO Roof Light Bar for the 2022+ GMC Hummer EV.   The curved 50" bar sits close to the windshield rather than sticking way up above the roofline. The mounting position is designed to keep the setup relatively streamlined while minimizing wind noise and maintaining full use of the factory windshield wipers.   A few details:   50" curved PRO light bar Fits 2022–2026 GMC Hummer EV Spot + driving beam pattern TIR optics White main beam Amber DRL backglow Approximately 15,410 measured lumens through the lens Mounts to factory accessory locations No cutting or drilling required Wiring runs down the A-pillar toward the AUX connections Designed to minimize wind noise Lifetime warranty Off-road use only     The 50" is an interesting middle ground for anyone who wants the visibility and mounting position of a roof bar without stepping all the way up to the larger 60" setup. For the Hummer EV owners here, would you go with the 50" for the lower-profile look or step up to the full 60"?  
    • My son got a hatchback withe the aero package for like 17k new. Great little car with amazing MPH
    • Yeah, I've given up years ago with that! I was able to load a few when I first joined the site sometime around '07. Then after maybe 20 pics, it said I exceeded the limit. Now every pic I try to post says I've "exceeded 1mb".   ONE MB??? That's Windows 95 ******, lol!! 
    • I get the same results with pictures. Then I figure it out. Then I forget. Screw it.
    • I guess I'm the only one on this forum who can't get effing pics to load here! Do you have to resize them to post, or am I just blocked from uploads?   I have the same luck with automotive electronics ... but this is the ONLY site on the net that I have this problem!   I'd post pics of what I'm working on ... but I CAN'T! 🤬       Just fabbed up the kickdown cable (had to extend the cable mount WAAAY out from the throttle shaft to get a full pull), and parts arrived for the fuel lines on the 940 carb conversion project. Should be able to drive this thing by the end of the day. If not for work, I'd have had this thing done SIX weeks ago.   Got the jetting sorted out last week. Had a real bad tip-in bog that I couldn't seem to correct. Friggin float height was over 11mm too HIGH! eBay purchase, so no wonder everything is screwed up right out of the box! I ended up with a larger dual-squirt accelerator pump jet anyway instead of the single. Also moved the 70 primary idle jet (4 sizes too big out of the box) to the secondary idle circuit, and installed a 57 in the primary. Runs great on the fuel bottle!    Still using the computer for ignition. Going to drive it first and see if I want to go through the project of installing an intermediate shaft with a distributor drive gear, so I can install a block-mounted distributor and run points, 100% computer free. I should do that anyway just from a simplicity / reliability / tunability standpoint. The electronics left me stranded last year a couple times! I can't tweak the timing to my liking right now because of the computer. Tried twisting the cam-driven distributor already ... and the damned thing just reverts back to where it was! That's infuriating. But if it runs well enough I might save that for next season.   Just driving it in and out of the shop to work on other projects, it feels 1,000% more responsive with the carburetor. Also fires MUCH faster when cranking. Can't wait to drive it and see if I got more than 114 ponies, lolol.   Hopefully these don't go 404 like the last post ... https://postimg.cc/gallery/MjhrmZS   Seems like that site went back to dial-up internet! Maybe they'll fix that some day ...
