Probably gonna hold it at this for now.

Looks Great.

I totally agree with that statement brother.
Many MANY options with vinyl.
I have been using the carbon fiber vinyl for awhile now and the stuff is bulletproof.

A work in progress for sure.

Another home mod completed last weekend.
I wanted to fill the open area of the frame and help protect from road crude.
Took one hour from start to finish and not only will it work well but IMO I think it looks great as well. My dealer asked me where I bought it and I told him I made it. He asked me if i would be willing to make more. LOL A one of a kind for now and it was a simple deal to make.

So to revisit this, is this just plastic edging around screen? Kinda looks like iron rod welded to screen but not sure

I used car door protective trim for this home mod.
Purchased it at Pep Boys for under $ 10.00
It's working well.

The wrap should not melt until over 300* F so I,m hoping it's good. If not, it's easy enough to pull off. I hope it stays, cause I really like the looks.

Wow! That looks awesome! I like your idea! I'll consider doing my own vinyl wrap project as well but will probably seek some professional help from www.gatorwraps.com.

Since I added the wrap back in the spring, everything held up nicely except the derby cover & the fuel door. The vinyl on the derby cover got very brittle and started to chip off, and the edges of the fuel door started to peel up (maybe from gas, Not sure though)

I have since pulled off the vinyl, and changed the derby cover & the fuel door to the HD gloss black ones.

I also changed the timer cover and the trans cover to the HD gloss black even though there was no issues with the wrap. - still need to list my Willie G covers in the classifieds.
