Like it - especially the front blacked out.

[WTF]

Looks great!! Can't wait to see it at Wings and Wheels

[BenS]

Thank you pmk and Joni :redface:

Today's mod, for my 6 month anniversary of having my DS3, is some much needed eyelids!
The white vinyl just needs to get a bit dirty now to match my car

See Ben...Vinyl Eyebrows and other Vinyl improvements are the way forward!

[Funky]

Looks superb Ben! I have stuff on order, will post when I've done it all. Nothing major at first tho.

[BenS]

That's how it started for me lol. It's very addicting, and the cars are perfect for personalising!

Looking tasty, the black front makes me think of the current Nissan GTR

How do the headlight eyebrows attach? are they sticky?

[BenS]

The black front was Evo X inspired, but the GTR is pretty similar! The headlights are covered in 3M vinyl (adhesive backing), can be done yourself or by any decent vinyl sign printing company.

[BenS]

Does anyone have any tips for pre-treating before applying large stickers/vinyls? Just a simple wash of the area or are there specific products that help?

[cyclone]

I'd also go over the area with something to remove any wax. You want clean naked paint.

[BenS]

Thank you cyclone

I use an alcohol spray. Can't remember what it is called now.

This is a good guide
