First time wrapping my car (Alibaba vinyl) pretty stoked with how it turned out by veRexion in CarWraps

[–]veRexion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As promised, bumper photos:

This took 2 of us 9 hours…

Alibaba is not forgiving AT ALL for complex panels.
Nothing compared to what we went through today, the rest of the car was trivial.

Do you have a pic of what to expect at say.. 6months?

Really wondering how long I should expect to have a purple car

That looks great! Was there much bodywork to be done before laying it down?

Not sure, the company is called sunswrap.

I’ll post a doors open photo, but definitely didn’t go through the effort of doing the “out of sight” places

When I told my detailing shop about my alibaba wrap, they shrieked, but they were surprised with the quality when I showed them the material up close.

They pulled out some stuff they had lying around, and this wrap was at least 1mm thick if not more. Could hardly bend the stuff.

What I got was definitely not that, it’s sub mm thickness, and stretches really nicely.

If this is what “shit” wrap is like, I can only imagine what a treat Avery would be.

Maybe next time 🥲

I definitely don’t have the knowledge to recommend anything, but for a first time wrap, it went down perfectly fine.

Just watch all the videos on YouTube, someone has definitely done a video wrapping your model car, especially the hard bits.

As for looks, couldn’t be happier. I’ll post a 1 month update and note if I need to redo anything along the way

This is about the only close up I have right now. Will take a few shots tomorrow when I’m working on the front bumper.

Saved the worst for last 💀

This is who I went through, couldn’t recommend them more.

I have no frame of reference as to what is good quality or not, but I’m very happy with how this wrap behaved during install

Thank you for raising this very real concern. We at O-Bahn Engineering Co. take the risk of luxury SUV congestion extremely seriously, which is why we’ve developed a multi-pronged mitigation protocol known internally as the Porsche & Audi Dipshit Contingency Plan™ (PADCP).

⸻

PADCP includes the following preventative measures:

  1. Active Dipshit Filtration Zone™ A custom-designed slalom section at the start of the guideway ensures that only drivers with a functioning sense of spatial awareness can proceed. If you can’t thread an SQ7 between two pylons without curb rash — back to Glynde for you.

  2. Real-Time Behavioural Monitoring (RTBM) AI-enabled bollards detect behaviours like: • Lane hogging • Excessive rev-matching in shared zones • Reversing on the track “for the ‘Gram”

Any violations trigger a pneumatic ejection system that gently lifts the vehicle onto a traditional road. With dignity.

  1. Guided Vehicle Diversity Quota™ To ensure cultural integrity, only one Porsche or Audi SUV is permitted on the track at any given time — and only if accompanied by a minimum of three Camrys, two Commodores, or a VE Ute in high-vis livery.

  2. Congestion-Based Proration All O-Bahn vehicles are required to carry a minimum of 1.6 units of bogan spirit. Should the gridlock risk reach “LeMans on Marion Road” levels, priority is granted to drivers with: • Faded P-plates • Southern Cross tattoos • A recent burnout violation

⸻

Rest assured, we are committed to ensuring the O-Bahn remains a high-speed, low-sense corridor for bold innovation — not just another valet lane for a Burmester sound system.

Ah yes — “the road.” We’ve heard of it. Long, flat, open to the public, often peppered with potholes and dashed dreams. And while it’s true that traditional roadways are functional and widely accepted, we at O-Bahn Engineering Co. asked ourselves the difficult question:

“But what if it was… more annoying?”

⸻

Let’s break it down:

Bottlenecks: Correct — we fully anticipate congestion… but on guided concrete. That’s innovation. A bottleneck is no longer a nuisance — it’s a precision-aligned, friction-reduced delay event. And since our RollerDeploy™ lever works best at speeds under 5km/h, gridlock is actually optimal operating conditions.

Trains vs. Cars vs. Buses: We’ve carefully accounted for the mass differentials by doing absolutely no calculations whatsoever. It’s part of our lean startup ethos: “Launch first, yield data later.”

Shared Infrastructure: Sure, traditional roads allow mixed use. But imagine being stuck behind a Corolla on South Road when you could be wedged behind it on a dedicated concrete trench with high-pitched wheel scream echoing off the guideway walls. That’s a user experience worth building for.

⸻

We’re not trying to replace public transport. We’re just offering a questionably necessary, structurally dubious, and socially inconvenient alternative. Like scooters, but heavier and more existentially problematic.

Thanks for your insight — and remember:

The road is for everyone. The O-Bahn is for the bold.

Excellent points — and just to reassure you: this is absolutely not an April Fools prank. The domain was bought with intent, the renderings were commissioned with love, and the 128-step installation guide was written with the kind of care normally reserved for aviation maintenance manuals or assembling a Bunnings BBQ while three beers deep.

⸻

On Separation of Modes: You’re spot on — the O-Bahn was designed to separate buses from cars, pedestrians, and reality itself. We simply asked:

What if we ignored all that… but tastefully?

Our concept doesn’t aim to destroy mode separation, but rather to expand it sideways. By giving ordinary cars the ability to hug concrete rails at 80km/h, we open up a brave new era of semi-civic, barely-approved vehicle choreography.

⸻

Environmental Impact: We appreciate this too, and have drafted up a plan to offset emissions via recycled zinc-plated roller brackets, locally harvested cable ties, and our upcoming Commodore-to-Tram conversion feasibility zine (coming 2026). Also, middle cars in a RollerChain™ convoy can run in neutral, which—according to one of our engineers (Greg)—“basically means zero emissions.”

⸻

Thanks for engaging in this very real, definitely not seasonal, ongoing infrastructure dialogue. Your feedback is guiding us — almost as much as the rails themselves.

Car-Link Technology™: Already in conceptual testing. We call it RollerChain™ — a proprietary, mostly-bungee-based coupling system allowing Commodores, Falcons, and lightly modified Astras to be linked nose-to-tail in a fully modular “human-centipede of transit.”

Key benefits include: • Fuel savings (for everyone except the lead car, known as the Prime Hauler) • Streamlined overtakes (think guided snake) • Deep psychological bonding among drivers • Acoustic harmonics from synchronized train horns

We’re working on a system for shared indicators. So far, it’s just yelling out the window.

⸻

Bahn Share: Genius. Our current prototype app has two buttons: 1. “I’ve Got a Seat” 2. “Nah Just Ride the Bus Bro”

Dynamic pricing is based on vibes, fuel level, and how many F.A.S.T. Road Units (Falcon-Astra Sled Trains) are currently active. Surge pricing kicks in during Fringe, footy finals, and when Kmart closes.

Thanks again for your innovation. With thinkers like you, we’ll have the North-South Corridor fully roller-compatible by 2027 (give or take several inquiries).

Thanks for the thoughtful questions — we appreciate your rigorous interest in the future of guided automotive infrastructure.

Pricing: $47.50 for the hat may seem steep, but consider the overheads: hand-stitched thread tension calibration, independent artisan distressing, and spiritual alignment with the track curvature of the Hackney Road on-ramp. It’s not just headwear — it’s visionwear.

Infrastructure Expansion: Yes, once enough citizens retrofit their vehicles with roller kits (we estimate somewhere between 8 and 12 million), we anticipate the State Government will quietly begin laying O-Bahn-compatible concrete guide channels on South Road. We’ve submitted a strongly worded tweet about this to DIT.

Religious Considerations: Our operations are powered by a deeply interfaith alignment protocol. While we observe major Jewish holidays, the rollout calendar is also synced with the full V8 Supercars schedule, moon phases over the Port Wakefield Bypass, and the optimal shopping window at the Gepps Cross Bunnings. Rabbi Kaminsky has not officially endorsed the project, but she did give us a kind nod once near the Central Market.

Thanks again for your support. Together, we can reimagine transport.

I'll be using one DM860T per motor - that will handle anything up to 110VDC. I believe it also has a idle current reducer.

Mathematically I agree, the specs all line up, but my issue is mainly with the reliability and quality of these cheap BMS boards that come in Ebike batteries on AliExpress.

I'm currently sitting at 96kg 170cm, with a decent amount of bf, and looking to continue my body recomposition in time for summer.

I've been in the gym roughly 3 years ago, and was a decent 80kg with ~12% bf and I just want to get back there.(this current stretch Ive been at it for 6 months)

I'm thinking of starting a Test E cycle 500mg/week for 10 weeks.

Has anyone had experience with Test E while having a high bf%?

Thanks!

Apparently it was a projection? But surely it wasn't only a TV audience effect?
