A Panels

Here are a couple of pics from the work I did on the A panels and window struts.... carbon fiber on a black Clubbie looks hot IMHO

Purchased the vinyl on eBay and did each side for $25


Again, IMHO I think it looks hot

Anyone else having trouble with the Vinyl Styles website? It looks like a very pretty flash site, but I can't seem to find any actual products or information. I'm thinking of getting black/red checkmate A-Panel graphics.

Just like you said, it is a pretty flash site but very hard to find stuff and to order. I found this site http://www.aesthetic-creations.com/ and i order my black door handle cover, but they have checkmate APanels

Looks good. I'll redo mine this summer an will buy my own roll. Cost for precut is unnecessary.

White and black, love it! Looks like mine!

i know what you you mean about the precuts. i got mine off of this seller http://www.ebay.com/itm/24-x48-REAL-...item4ab208f16e with only painters tape, a paper bag, and scissors i made my own templates and cut it out. total cost - $45-$50 while precuts online i've seen for as cheap as $150. outrageous.

Here's mine after I updated my stripes (earlier photo is missing the stripes). I also have black door handles and beltline now, just need new photos!

Anybody know where I can get those white mini winged logos in a 8 or 10 inch circle size? I saw a mini on NAM with them and I would like to get a set, but I can't remember the owners name/user name... they looked good for an understated accent.

My wife and I installed carbon fiber a-panels from Vinyl Styles today. It was a pain in the butt and required partially removing the wheel arches, but it turned out great.

I would like to cover my roof and side mirrors with Vinyl but have a couple questions. Do you run the risk of it messing up the paint when you take it off. I am in Texas so the summers are very hot and did not know if that would cause problems when I ever want to remove it. Not sure also if they can cover the Spoiler in Vinyl.

Also I hate having things on my car like badges for things I do not have but I do like the Red Roof/Mirrors that you can get on the JCW's. Would it look bad to have that on just a MCS? I just don't want to look like I am posing as the car is a JCW. I just like the color combo of the Red with the WhiteSilver body. Your thoughts...

What's everyone's overall opinion on A-Panel graphics/wraps? Good/bad idea?

Thanks!
