does anyone know where to get skins that are not precut ? like a 1x1' square piece or something like that.
I know about car wrap, I have some 3d Kevlar, but I am getting tired of that.
I'm thinking camo, skulls, lightning, idk.

if you have a skin/s, lets see em.

I would love to find a black or ss colored skin for my T-Priv. I think that would rock. Don't know where to look though.

I saw the title and thought, Foreskin?

You may want to email jwraps. They might be able to sell you some

You say they. I thought it was one rapper name Jay. I know this isn't Jay but humor me for effort

if you can/want to cut them yourself. go on ebay and search "car wrap".

Maybe for a mod that was a sold frame, but with the T-Priv having the lights it does, I doubt I could make it look good LOL

Hondas lancer and Toyota dont that's for sure.


lol

yeah CF is nice and all. but there is such a thing as "to much of a good thing". maybe I will try some of the shiny CF.

one problem finding what I want = ebay, their search is shitty. they steer towards stuff 'they'' want you to buy, not necessarily what is wanted. if your don't "know' what you want, and specifically search for it, it may never be found. and sometimes the theory behind "searching" is to find what you don't know is there.

there is actual real wood tape. its not actually tape. its made to cover the ends of cut wood. idk just how wide this wood tape comes, I know 3/4", but not sure if they have wider. but I bet they do. and then there is fuax wood tape, for the same thing.

its called "edge banding". this is the faux stuff. but i'l tell ya, it looks basicly real.
this is mine. and they are a few other colors, probably more than I know.

That's a pretty interesting idea actually. If really like to find a good glossy black skin. With the red lights will be like K.I.T.T. from Knight Rider. Just thought of it. That would be freaking AWESOME!

I was wrong, I thought it was tape. but it needs to be glued on.
AND
I could be wrong, but it think that is real wood.


also, on topic. there is duct tape. don't laugh, there are many patterns on duct tape.

hay Manny, is that peeling off up top ?

another question = the skins, how easy are they to install and remove ?
Those skins before installing the surface gets wiped with alcohol..... Second make sure no air bubbles are trapped below the skin.

Warm it up with a hair dryer as you press into place.....

If it's 3M it will last a year plus and to peel off it's difficult to..... Specially if you install a skin from Zapwrapz.com

They don't peel off if properly installed...I bought a square foot for $10 bucks and cut and stick.....

TJs and Marshall’s stores usually have phone screen covers for cheap. I was thinking of doing the same thing until I found Vape Skinz

If you want other options besides car wraps and just want smaller pieces with unusual designs maybe try someplace like amazon. Search for notebook or laptop skins, same basic stuff. Maybe not quite as heavy duty as auto vinyl wrap but vinyl wrap with a myriad of designs. I mean if you're planning to cut your own out of it.
