python vinyl wrapped interior panels
 
I know this mostly not be liked, but I like it, and do my mods for me alone. Also keep in mind that I have been keeping and breeding exotic pythons for seveal decades (I have 30-40 depending upon the time of year), so it suits me quite a bit. Anyway, it was quite easy to do, I havnt decided if I want to do the other silver parts or do those in satin black so its not an overwhelming pattern. Anyway, something different for sure. Easy to peel off if I dont like it later, but I like it more then I anticipated.

boucher 10-13-2012 04:17 PM

Definitely not for me, but way better than I expected!

JoeBoxer 10-13-2012 04:23 PM

Not bad but i think it would look better if it was more subtle, maybe put another layer of black semi-transparent film over it?

gmookher 10-13-2012 04:28 PM

suits you, and looks professional!

ToxicSneakers 10-13-2012 04:32 PM

Spectacular!

(However, there is someone out there that prefers only day-glo pink faux ermine.)

hippari 10-13-2012 04:38 PM

looks dope. will be sick if you find away to ditch the clashing red stitching all over the interior

DaJo 10-13-2012 04:48 PM

Looks cool! Not sure why, but it reminds me of a Predator from AVP lol.

Sutty 10-13-2012 04:55 PM

I think it looks good,

kendalldwhite 10-13-2012 06:16 PM

gator boys gator boys, looks good not for me,

I showed my g/f she loves it

whaap 10-13-2012 06:25 PM

You're right. It's not for every one. That doesn't change the fact you did a real nice job. Looks very professional. Congratulations.

I don't know if my opinion is biased because of reading your back story but I like it a lot! Sounds like it suits you well.

How exactly did you go about applying the vinyl to the shifter surround plastic? I did mine today too (thread coming soon) and was wondering if there was an easier way because I sure spent a lot of time on that piece.

PMok 10-13-2012 09:16 PM

very interesting, not for me but I appreciate the work put in. For some reason it also makes me think of the digital camo pattern... maybe I've been playing too much BF3 lately. :D

mashal 10-13-2012 09:20 PM

It would more bad ass if you took pics of your snakes in the car!!!
DO IT.

The shift surround wasnt as hard as the vent rings, but did take the most time. I think the key to the whole thing was:
1. Having an actual heat gun
2. Not over stretching and pressing hard in stages. Front the middle out. Doing the edges last.
3. Using a needle to take out bubbles

The buttons went easier then anticipated, and will be labeled with icons (think happy face and super happy face in thin black lines. The middle will be converted to a red led "of sh&t" button.

Thanks for the comments.
Working on my headlights today.

In sure ill get a similar response to be 50% body wrap in black scales.

One python changing gear, the other pulling the wheel to full oppolock while you heel-toe in a big reptilian power slide.

Xenocide117 10-13-2012 11:35 PM

Do the whole damn car.
