alright flame me all you want but i got a simple question about the ever popular vinyl... i have a couple mods in mind that would utilize it but.. where the hell can i buy vinyl? do i have to get it online or is it available in a regular retail store? thanks

 

you can buy cheap vinyl at like walmart, target, or any store like that, but if u wan the good stuff i suggest you go to like a Quilt store, or a fabric show (not joann's) my mom is an avid quilter and makes alot of curtians and **** like that, and she goes to a quilt store to buy really good fabric.. some of it 300$ a yard, if they dont have it they can get it for you

 

yea just put a big quilt on your car!

you can go to a vinyl sign shop and they usually hook you up if you need alot, i went to get a 12x30 sheet once and he gave me like a 30x50, cause he didnt want to cut the roll horizontal... it was only like 5 bucks too, lolz

 

call up a local sign shop. thats what i did and i got a 10ft x 15" piece of black vinyl for $10

 

im diggin that idea i know of a sign shop not too far from my house, which is good cause when i get home for spring break, it's mod time. i got a set of pioneers, some subs, CAI, css.net decals, all ready to be installed. since i dont think ill be working over break i just want some relatively cheap appearance mods to keep me busy/get my car looking a little less than stock. if they can hook me up with some vinyl i wanna do some eyelids, maybe fender stripes, and wrap my dash trim

www.fellers.com (if you have one locally, they dont have an online shop)

If you have any questions let me know, I run a sign shop out of my house as a side business.

 

is it me or do those sites seem expensive for vinyl. then again, i dont even know what kind im looking for

 

Nope, they are the best prices you are going to find around it is who I order all my stuff through.

What are you looking to do, and what color vinyl are you looking for, I can point you in the right direction.

 

the 2 main things im looking at doing right now are eyelids for my headlights, and wrapping the interior dash trim. the reason i was surprised by the prices is because everyone was saying how they were paying 10 dollars when the vinyls online are much more expensive.

 

Well they were paying $10 for a 15"x10ft and that was most likely calendered vinyl which you don't want to use for outside decals, you want to use cast vinyl which is more expensive. These are 10 yard rolls too, so 30ft, which is probably more than you will need but it is good to have around incase you want to do more stuff in the future.

If you're looking for black I would go with this:
