Update: 8/9/2015- CF Vinyl and Decals on Roof

Hello friends. Here's some more vinyl work. Finally, after several attempts to "fix" the appearance of the roof, I've come to resolution.

Ebay CF Vinyl (4 ft x 6 ft ); used the new "bubble free" vinyl option. Added a custom graphic.

The roof was tough. I found that spraying a soap/water mix to aid in the install of vinyl creates a mega-fail situation. Yep, a code red fail. So, after another roll of CF vinyl arrived 5 days later, I actually decided to follow the instructions. Degreased the heck out of the hood (and roof moldings) with Purple Power, then used Isoproyl Alcohol to get it "squeaky" clean. Then, the vinyl stuck. A Harbor Freight-sourced heat gun, an exacto knife, a squeegee, and a lot of patience were also used to help things along.

Outcome:
















A big thank you to D.I.G. (Designer Ink Graphics) in downtown Mooresville for their help with my custom graphic design and printing for these last few updates. They are a great company to work with!

Until next time, thank YOU for ecoTuning in!

A big
