Honestly all I currently know is that the pieces for the fender reflectors have been done up. I know he'll be offering it as a kit, but I was unclear now that I look back whether it would add to the cost or whether it would be a newly included item with the original price. Let me get back to you. :smile:

GREAT NEWS!

I have done a lot of work with vinyl in the past two years. I will be ordering and cutting vinyl VERY shortly. I just need to verify the type of vinyl. As soon as I have all the details and make sure it is durable, as well as non-damaging, I will post the VINYL TYPE & TEMPLATES for the do-it-yourselfers! I will also probably offer a limited number of pre-cut sets for those not wanting to by several yards of vinyl (and to use up my vinyl ! ). I'm not trying to make money...and will share any info once I get them tested.

I'll take info from those interested later. I'll keep you all posted.

EDIT: The taillight kit will be tested this week!

awesome!

keep us posted!
ur gettin it this week??? do pics and stuff before and after!

 

Here is a company that makes the film for lens and paint. I have used the stuff on a few track cars and it works great. They will sell it by the sheet. Good Luck! Let me know how it works out. http://lamin-x.com/ (407) 539-0077

 

Thaks for the hook up chris!

 

No problem, anytime.

 

>>No problem, anytime.

thanks, now we need to find some made for the mini cooper!

 

Make them yourself. It is not hard at all.

 

I'll post the templates for the rear lights and side markers at the end of next week for those of you who want to buy vinyl through other sources. Thanks for the link, Helix! (I've been curious--what the yellow headlights look like--retro like an old alfa romeo's?) The templates will save you tons of time. Anyone have preferences of format: EPS, JPG or PDF?

If all goes as planned, I be selling the laser cut kits after testing this weekend if you want a no hassle, pre-tested and pre-fitted install. The costs will remain minimal since I have worked with vinyl for the past 3 years and bought bulk vinyl from a distributor. I would estimate cost to be under $20 to capture costs of the vinyl, cutting, researching and test fitting. The cost will depend on how I can minimize waste vinyl and the actual cutting costs.

Keep your eyes on this thread for further info and pics.

Rob.
