Cheap shot Chebosto considering you nor anyone can provide a single example of a replica seat failing and causing injury due to it being a replica seat.

Honestly I think your just butt hurt that you paid $$$ and I paid $ and we both get the same out of our purchase. I am very sorry BRIDE bent you over for a couple of rounds and your butt hurt from it. I forgive you for waisting money but can your forgive yourself?


The first step to recovery is admitting your a crack head and learning from it. Stay positive thou and I am sure you will be just fine.


I'll just keep my reply short and diplomatic because I have to check in with the rehab doc in a bit:

You should be reserved for the civic mod community!


I will also keep this short as talking with you is like talking to a wall.

They even sell BRIDE replicas here on our forum:

Now Timmy if you can take your personal feelings out of my seats and move the f uck on that would be great. If not please take this to my thread and I will gladly argue with you all day.

I know safety is your first concern but if you just keep your helmet on little Timmy I am sure you will be safe...... or at least others will be safe from your mental retardation.

You obviously missed the point so I will break it down for you.

Paint = quality look
Wrap = fake look like a big sticker

Just my opinion and thats my .02, you on the other hand should get this done ASAP! Also everyone else that is seeing this, drop all quality paint job ideas and wrap your pecker today!

furthermore I think wrapping for paint protection is a great idea but 3m clear bra fits the bill and not big on the fake look of this flat black wrap.

Wrapped my car. Personally I love it... People ask all the time if it's paint. It only took me about 20 hours. It is not necessarily great for long term applications... 4 years TOPS. However... if you would like a love it or hate it style (such as flat black) go with a wrap. It's temporary AND removable. That way you get the look without having to be married to it. I'll ***** my thread now... https://my350z.com/forum/exterior-an...f-ideas-2.html

Need to do a new photo shoot... roof has changed... along with a few other things. Don't hate on wraps people... different strokes!

^^ did you use some kind of application liquid? ^^

I've seen different guides that either use it or not.

Default vinyl

guys, Ive been all over the net learing all about vinyls, calendar vuinyls ( u dont want these) etc....

heres the deal... the vinyl stickercity sells is standard 3m 180c-22 ( flat black) ... they sell this stuff at 26 bucks per liner foot.... WHAT?!?! waaaay too much.
it is "comply" adhesive and is better than calendar films ( usually the stuff ppl try to sell you for 300 bucks for 10 yards) it comes off clean and not in little pieces. Also up close, it has a square grid pattern in it, squares about .25 inch in size. This is air channels for the air to get out.. Its also a max roll width of 50 inches.

They charge about 1100 bucks for enuff to do ONE CAR at stickercity. AND THIS IS NOT THE VINYL YOU REALLY WANT.... :

What you WANT is the CV3 version of the film... its newer and shows no checker pattern, molds muuuch better over curves... Its a breeze to use.

The roll is 60 inches wide and can be purchased thru Mike at American Sign Products for 780 bucks plus shipping. Get this..... its a 50 yard roll, thats 150 feet.... SO do two cars with the roll, split it w a friend.

Also, for the carbon fiber style 3m "Dinoc" , you can ebay it for 25 bucks for 4 sq feet...

stickercity is expensive as hell and it seems its because most ppl have no idea what the stuff really is or where to get it.

Hope this helps you all save cash.

I've been tossing around the idea of doing a full wrap in the di-noc carbon fiber for the last week or so... I'll be doing my roof in about a week when my material shows up..

What do you guys think about doing the full car in the di-noc carbon fiber?
