ok i was wondering about the front bumper over lay. i have my own vinyl and wanted to try my self. tried once and realized the area wasnt straight edged. tried again. didnt cut off little nubs left by license plate. so before i try again any one have any tips? also i was wondering if regular vinyl can be heat shrunk.

mahalo

 

ok so i tried it came out really great i love it! the actual overlay woulda been a lot easier first time doing something like this and only took me an hour to measure cut and put on

 

this is right after installing it

that night small light show made a little bit of a crowd

 

When you say measured and cut, did you make a template then use a heat gun to shrink on the curves. I want to do this but screwed the pooch first try..

 

nope tried that at first but no point i just measured 34 inches wide by i forget how high cut it. removed my grills. and started with the front, easy as pie. just used a hair dryer and stretched that baby to fit love it bra lemme know if you need more help and post pics after your finished

 

Where did you purchase that overlay? It looks sick!!

 

i didnt i bought some regular sign vinyl the black gloss and just stretched it on myself about 1-2 hours work depending if you know what your doing

 

If you haven't worked with vinyl its worth the $50 for the hassle.

 

i have never worked with vinyl before this of other than window stickers just watched youtube vids and just worked it not hard at all and was free for me but made a big difference then i got ambitious and then did vinyl eyelids

 

or just do it the right way and paint the bumper?

 

if you look on blue bats over lay forum there is a whole bunch of reasons why not to go down that path. this was free and easyenough for me to do myself so i chose this route if you wanna paint it have fun but in the event you wanna sell or trade in its stuck there vinyl can be just pulled off
