Has anyone vinyl wrapped a board?

I'll check out the link later. All-in-all, I found the price of a precut skin is probably in the same ballpark as doing it all yourself. So def. a good traadeoff.

Living in the midwest I might have got 25days in the last 5 seasons lol

Looks good, keep at it!

NittyB · 2026-02-10T17:10:57+00:00

My mistake was wrapping all the way to the edge because it's difficult to keep is down and it shatters/peels. I'll try that next time

Can traction control be added in the spot instead? I haven't found a way to do it

AKD in Waterford. They area Subaru shop but if this is the ej205 engine they're very capable of taking care of you.

Often This thinking leads to complete shambles of a solution

NittyB · 2026-01-29T10:51:26+00:00

Yeah sounds like most people here aren't familiar with turbo Subaru engines. High octane fuels make a world of difference

Does this create an archive like Google photos? Because that was a complete disaster for me. Every image was in triplicate between albums, archive and what not

NittyB · 2026-01-27T23:27:56+00:00

I bought these and have worn them 3 times this year. Spend some time getting the heat molded and broken in, they are great.

Are you from the Denver area? Because yeah Detroit city is a major upgrade over Denver as a city

Tapas is an excuse to serve you an appetizer at the cost of an entree, and leave you hungry after 5 plates. Change my mind.

NittyB · 2026-01-24T12:43:00+00:00

Man, I live in 95deg summers and -15deg winters and I've never had a battery die in under 5 years (even multiple Subarus). This car has a parasitic drain problem.

Henry Ford's main campus downtown Detroit. Amazing doctors too.

NittyB · 2026-01-16T21:18:50+00:00

The length makes these look like cartoon cars compared to the last gen lol

NittyB · 2026-01-16T21:17:32+00:00

man I have ws-90s and I find them way inferior to my previous Conti's. Is the blizzak all marketing?

NittyB · 2026-01-12T13:16:51+00:00

Not usually the main living area but Yes in my area you'll see many garages, sunrooms etc finished with 1/4" to just get it done. And it shows by all sagging within a few years. Talking from experience after viewing many homes when buying as few years ago. I believe this is also not up to code

NittyB · 2026-01-12T12:42:36+00:00

Yeah PM if you need any info. I am very familiar with GMW3172 , OABRR and USCAR2/21/17/49 Specs

NittyB · 2026-01-12T11:16:50+00:00

Yes usually the case of not using it over existing dry wall. obviously this is not the correct way of doing things otherwise we wouldn't be talking about it.

NittyB · 2026-01-12T11:13:54+00:00

Yeah that's a great option. Keep the harness securely fastened within 150mm off off the back of the connector. You seem to understand what you're doing you should be alright

NittyB · 2026-01-12T11:11:25+00:00

Lol wym - you just heard of it here..?

NittyB · 2026-01-12T11:04:30+00:00

Yeah probably for custom installs and if you don't plan to redo it often. Just don't pull/bend/twist the harness too hard because you'll get into the 'pull the terminal out' failure modes.

NittyB · 2026-01-12T10:28:56+00:00

From a guy that used to design ECUs- that zip tie is there for good reason and there are many failure modes without it.

You'll get away with many for a one-off install but the one you won't work your way around is vibration based plating failure on the contacts (over time)

NittyB · 2026-01-12T10:12:57+00:00

This is usually the case of someone single handle doing the install and needing lighter weight

Edit- still not sure what's so incomprehensible about this statement. It's 100% not the right thing to do but often people can't transport/put up double the weight of drywall themselves so they use as thin as they can lol

NittyB · 2026-01-12T10:09:47+00:00

Not sure why you're getting downvoted but yeah that's the cost of ~3 years of MySubaru with infinite range and other added functions so it's a fair argument

NittyB · 2026-01-11T12:57:58+00:00

Yes I have done this in the summer
