You're welcome mate!

[@Andi-cy8kj]

Awesome Job!!! Hope when it gets warm in the car the glue you use does it s job

[@thedetailformula7046]

Yeah I agree!

On some vinyls you can peel off the cloth backing (with enough determination) which helps MASSIVELY with stretch. Maybe it would be possible to do the vinyl in a single piece like that. It´s been a while since I´ve had my door cards apart but iirc that´s how the oem vinyl is, no backing. The only downside I´ve found is the vinyl will tear when you go beyond max stretch without enough heat but it´s pretty easy to get used to.

[@thedetailformula7046]

Yeah thats a good point actually. When I removed to old vinyl there was no cloth backing. Thinking back, the cloth backing on the vinyl I used didn't seem like it would come off easily

[@tonistaru]

@@thedetailformula7046 Yeah there´s different backings, I don´t think any are designed to peel off put some do. The backing is also what determines the stretch direction. Most are more stretchy in one direction than other. Your two piece design worked out good too👌

[@thedetailformula7046]

Thanks mate!

[@basd659]

Very nicely and well explained! I was thinking though, what if you would cut out the holes for the pockets before you add the vinyl? Maybe then you can make it out of 1 piece? But I like your solutions aswell, it looks professional!

[@thedetailformula7046]

Thanks mate! I think cutting the holes might work but would be pretty tough to know how big they should be and where to put them. Pretty easy to make mistakes I think. Don’t know till you try it I guess!

NEED MORE VIDEOS MATE

[@thedetailformula7046]

I agree mate! Next week I reckon!

[@josebranco5727]

Great video. Where did you get the speakers?

[@thedetailformula7046]

Hey mate, they are just the stock ones. I think I’ll upgrade all the speakers at some point. After wheels and suspension though!

[@TruBimmer]

Great video good sir. Maybe I missed it, but can you link or point me in the right direction where to get the vinyl you used??

[@thedetailformula7046]

[@X774M]

I wodmee of there's a way to make thsi carbon fibre

[@ayanlelajuna112]

Where did you get the mrain fabric?

[@thedetailformula7046]

I actually got the fabric from Etsy. Seller was called Berry I think. I just found the foam backing was to thick but it was easy to pull off

[@djpaskodjpasko9524]

You can do the whole card from one piece I have done it but you need to carefully and patient

[@thedetailformula7046]

Yeah I’m sure you can but I struggled. After a couple of failed attempts I decided to go the 2 piece route and I’m really happy with it. It may have been the vinyl I used being not stretchy enough, not sure. Or just not talented enough! 😂

[@dnrkouki]

Post a link for the vinyl
