They don't seem to have a shade shifter one anywhere.. I wanna see the Blue/Red.. Can't find any of the shadeshifter pics though.. That's kind of gay to advertise it and then not show it..

Gay? How is it happy or homosexual?

Huh?

captain howdy

Thats what I meant.

These are retro-looking vehicles, what about the pinstriping designs they have?
Howdy, when you do your ghost flames, are you going to clear over them? A lot of this stuff will leave edges that will curl or let dirt under them if they aren't cleared.

captain howdy

Nah, I wouldn't clear coat over vinyl. I'm too afraid of them fading underneath the paint. I had vinyl stripes all over my Mustang and and never had a problem. Auto vinyl is really thick and really adhesive. It usually requires you to use a heat gun to remove it. When applied properly peeling or curling isn't even an issue. Hell the racing stripes on my Mustang had rock chips in them just like paint with no peeling aroud them. Your main enemy with auto vinyl is the sun. If you don't take care of the vinyl it fades. Likewise, if you don't take care of your paint it sun fades the paint and the paint under the vinyl stays dark.

My concern was that wax would want to get under the edges and then cause the adhesive along those edges to weaken.

captain howdy

Thats not even a issue, unless maybe you are using an electic buffer or power washer on your ride. Hand waxing is fine and never caused me any vinyl peeling or anything. If your sloppy when you wax you will get dry wax around the outside edge of the vinyl though. Your not supposed to wax the vinyl itself, just the paint around it.

From everything I have seen, these would have to be the best mods under $20 hands down! Check out the links.

They both add a really nice nostalgic look like the trucks of yesteryear.
