cool thx bro
Yes Sirrrrr!
Do you use the heat to go around difficult bends
Does the red color fade over time by any chance? Appreciate your input 👍 Much blessings 🙌
Will it damage the car if you desire to take it off before say selling it? Is there a factory OEM set that has this done already? You can add this to the outer perimeter of custom or even factory floor mats white around red or red around black
I wanted to do the same to my front splitter, but it’s that bumpy plastic texture. It’s an after market part. Will it come off easily?
Yo I’m 16 but I done a lot of projects on cars and this is a helpful tip of installing you got a new sub 💯

My 2011 Yukon XL with 175,000 miles has been through a jillion automatic carwashes. It looks as good today as it did when I installed it. Messed two doors up, still had the tape, put it on and there is no difference between the 2011 tape job and the 2021 tape job on those two doors. Question - Isn't there a clear layer on the tape that must be removed?
Is this red or dark red that you're using. Thank you for showing how to properly apply this.
What is the brand front splitter you have?
Ohhh i seen dis up in da galaria in houston on Saturday i was up in da black scat pack
Very nice sir very nice 🏹🤠👍
whats is that white on the tires bro? Stickers? or
Isn't it illegal to have red reflective tape on the front of a vehicle? I thought only white was allowed on front and amber on all sides and red was only allowed on rear of vehicle. Please someone elaborate on this. Thank you.
I did this to my charger along the body and on the mirror with the two pinestripe and got rt hask marks on it too
I can't believe you wiped the vette down with a rag that was dropped on the floor.😱
Is it reflective?
The heat gun is key or it will not stick, my car turned out great
Hey Arturo, I have an Alpine White E89 BMW Z4. I had the roof and mirrors wrapped in red. Having watched your video I'm going to apply some 3mm pin strip along the body line along the bonnet (hood), door and about 4" into the rear wing. What's your thoughts?

Your Amazon link for the tape is broken sir... Thinking about doing this to my civic LX--How are they still holding up after over a year of nature's harmful elements and car washes?

I want to do this to the top half of the rear defuser and the 2 slanted corners on the front fascia will the process you showed work on those locations seeing that there is some big time curves on those locations , i got everything needed to do this but will the heat gun make the points of the curves blend in properly?

I was thinking the same, doing the diffuser on my Lotus but I think the sharp angle change would necessitate cutting the pin stripes on a beveled angle and tying in with a new piece

those vinyl stripes are extra sturdy and don't come off easily. downside is if you try to take it off after a year, it may leave residue depends on the weather conditions. as times goes by it becomes worse.
I thought it’s gonna be easy🙃 it’s just didn’t go in a straight line

Nice job but if you can afford a C8 corvette then pay a professional stripper / air brusher to paint them on . Vinyl pinstripe is fine for your daily driver

Then you pay twice. Once for the professional install, and again in depreciating your car by harming the originality. Stick with stickers for these very personalize mods. No one wants what you think is cool.

Must not care about your card paint job. I would never use a rag or sponge that touched the ground on my cars paint. What happens if you get small rocks stuck in the rag and rub it across your paint?

guess you can't go thru car washes any more. stuff drives me crazy. it'll come off easy here and there. but if you want it off it will leave impossible glue all over.
It doesn't make sense putting vinyl like that on 120 thousand dollar car
