How well did everything fit, and was it fairly straight-forward? Everything lined up and tucked right in, no bubbling or bends? Need to use a heat gun, and did you need a squeegee or was a credit card or similar enough?
Fit might be slightly off, fairly straight-forward. BUbbling is pretty easy to get rids off due to air release. Heat gun definitely helps with sticking for especially small area right after a bend. Squeegee with felt tip should be use so as not to scratch the vinyl, Wouldnt recommend credit card.

Just did mine last weekend, will post pic soon

BTW. This product actually works and install as designed. The cuts arent perfect and do require minor trimming and working underneath the rubber surrounds but it worth the $$$. It is a PITA to do this from scratch.

No. There is some slight imperfections but it did come out solid and i’m actually pretty happy with it!!! Would definitely recommend.
How would you say the material compares to the Vivvid you have?

Hey just curious how long it takes to get a response from the seller. I've messaged on eBay and PM'd Don here and haven't heard anything from him. Just waiting for his response to pull the trigger.

Thanks.
Josh

He has a phone number, on his site I think. I called him a little while back and talked to him same-day about doing a mobile job. Wannaberacer
I may be in on a group buy if he's into it.

Pre cut installed not too bad, minor imperfections that have not catch my eyes yet outside of work. Its easier to see small failure on my part during install but they tend to be unnoticeable unless real vlose

You don't happen to have that number kicking around still? Only email available. Already tried that and it's been a week now since trying to contact him. No response.

Thanks man.

Looking great. I'll pick black gloss or matte over vinyl anyday.

Thanks for following up. I'll probably order this week and update. The 3M 1080 gloss black I ordered for this project was no good. Used it on he front grille surround and already peeling. Besides my time for projects is next to none these days ha.

Thanks man! I gave up on the eBay seller. If he/she can't bother to respond back to a number of emails they aren't worth my time or money.

Followed up with Don, he doesn't have any trim pieces at the moment which is too bad. Much rather get from him as he takes the time and responds back to potential customers.

Cheers.
