Any interests in pre cut vinyl wraps?

Thinking about possibly offering pre cut vinyl pieces to make it easier for those who are not local or just simply want to go the DIY route. I will probably try to do smaller/simpler pieces first, then move onto possibly bigger items.

However, I am trying to get an idea of what you guys would be most interested in having pre cut pieces made for.

Not every thing will be practical to do with pre cut pieces, but throw out some ideas/suggestions/thoughts/etc.

Hiya

I started off by ordering a small bit of 3m film and did my door handles (dechrome) and wing grills. They came out great so I'm next gonna attempt the roof including the roof rain trim.

Do you have a picture of the air dams and how'd they look wrapped?

Still open to ideas that you guys may have.

I think what most people would want are pre cut pieces for the window trim, from the feedback that I have gotten so far.

How about vinyl to cover the chrome inserts on the door handles. Im sure some would want matte or gloss black... I would be interested in alpine white to go body color.... Even though everything else is going black, I can't see having the handles be black... Im sure others might want body color as well....

These pictures are tiny, but they're the only ones I could find at the moment. Most people go with gloss black, because it's typically fairly difficult to match a particular paint code to a predetermined vinyl color, if that makes sense. For example, as far as I have seen, there is no white vinyl that matches alpine white out there. Additionally, as most people know, even simply having a car repainted the exact same color doesn't always result in an exact match, due to possibly weather/sun wearing, etc.

Hey Don....

How about smoke colored clear vinyl to cover chrome door inserts and side gills??? Ideally leading to a "black chrome" look???
