new pics up! kinda weak cell pics but better than nothing!

I posted up a few of the 3M dry carbon pieces Ive done. You can see where its coming up a little bit in the last pic but i wanted a closeup so you guys could get a better look at it. It looks INCREDIBLE for vinyl. Its textured on the surface and most people dont realize its a sticker until i tell them.

Hey for the carbon sticker where did you get yours.

I actually bought it in Singapore when I was on a trip over there. I can get you some though. PM me for more info


Is that a WSU sticker on the rear?

Yessir. GF is a current student and my dad's alumni so I decided to slap it on there. Good eye!
