• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

My wife, Love2Ride, had been working with Peter at www.spyderdetailing.com for a little while on this new skin for her Spyder. She picked it up from the post office today, and was able to complete the installation of it. She has now joined the ranks of those of us who will never be able to tell the police it wasn't us. ;)

Peter did an outstanding job on this one, and I truly feel it is a work of art.

Here are the still pictures, and I am working on uploading a video as well.

This one is with her LED lights on steady. It is still a little bit light outside to see them well, but the video will take care of that.

EDIT:

I am adding the video here so new viewers of this thread don't need to scroll down to a later post in order to view it.

I had actually looked at this design on the spyder detailing website & thought it looked really cool. But I wasn't sure how well the red in the graphic would match my red Spyder. But from your pictures it looks pretty awesome! Must be pretty easy to apply if she just got it in the mail & you've already posted pics. You two will be turning heads more than ever now! :2thumbs:

I've never done one on the Spyder, but I have done body graphics on cars. To do it right, give yourself about 2 hours. The temperature has to be just right too. If it's too hot you risk pulling and distorting the vinyl, too cold and it won't stick and could break. About 70-80 degrees seems perfect. Anyone can do it, just takes patience.

I do believe I saw a video from his site showing how to install it. It's worth watching.
 
Wolfen!!

Now you two have 2 works of art. Fantastic. I hate to say it, but I think she may have outdone you just a tad! You guys are going to rock the house no matter where you go. Simply fantastic!! :congrats:

Thanks for all of the compliments, I also think hers will now turn a lot more heads than mine does. :D

GIJoe, it came with 2 console pieces. Iwo Jima, which she used, and Captain America, which our 8 year old son has on his bulletin board.

I will let Tanya answer the questions on how long it actually took her to do this. I know you should plan on at least 3 hours at a bare minimum. The more patient you are the better the result. These kits are applied the same way you apply window tint to a vehicle. You prep the surface with alcohol to remove any oily residues, then use a spray bottle with water and a very small amount of dish soap. Wet the surface, peel the backing off the piece, place it where it needs to be, and then slowly squeegee out the soapy water from underneath doing your best to get all of the little bubbles out.

Here is the video:
