U
Also @J-Glide, where did you get your carbon fiber wrap from? I found this guy on ebay - http://www.ebay.com/itm/3D-Carbon-Fiber-Vinyl-Wrap-Sticker-12-x-60-Top-Grade-Bubble-Free-Air-Release-/291289797882 and was hoping his product would work (dimensions).
-
@uncbeast5 You can find all kinds of different wraps on Amazon. The standard size seems to be the 12" x 60" which I'm pretty sure is good for like about 3 full wraps (both sides) if you cut it right. I went with that dark blue carbon wrap and it really looks great.
-
I was already excited to get my OW. Now I'm freaking turning inside out!!! I can't wait to do his next mod to mine on the first day it comes in the mail. You guys are going to flip when you see J-glide's next mod. He wasn't kidding about it being on another level!
-
@Electric-Slide Are you trying to tell us you have inside information on this top secret mod sir?
-
@SC720 Brothers get special privileges. Lol
-
@uncbeast5 no one has tried to tape yet so we aren't sure. SC720 has the right idea for the wrap.
-
@SC720 electric slide is going to be helping me with the new lighting mod. It's nothing cheesy like flashing or multi-colored. It's high end bad ass!
-
@Electric-Slide You sneaky kids!!
-
@J-Glide Ok. Cant wait . Resetting the clock for this next mod. El wire will continue to gather dust until this reveal!
-
@j-glide I can't wait to see what you have planned. I have some great Ideas as well to use the EL-tape and perhaps the EL-wire with some other cool custom visual mods. (Just waiting on my board)
-
@Dude I grabbed some el wire tape at least to check it out. Its pretty cool but it is a little wide for the frame - it would still look amazing though. Unfortunately all I could find it in is 1 meter lengths so you need 2 strands and 2 controllers to go all around the board. I think it would be cool but I will instead be waiting on @J-Glide and @Electric-Slide to make their move. 2 el wires on the shelf now lol. They are cheap and can always return them.
-
Sorry for double post...Actually the el wire tape looks great along the frame if ran around it just under the wood foot pads. Only problem may be how to glue or secure it to the board and still keeping the tape flat, smooth and clean lookin. The tape is super thin so some hot glue under it would make it kind of bubble a bit.
-
@SC720 I have seen a way to solder to the EL wire and EL tape but it does take a lot more work to clean up the joints. I have a good idea on how I am going to try it myself when I get my Board. But I am very interested in what @J-Glide is going to do!
-
@SC720 I think the EL tape might be self-adhesive. If it's not I'm going to use a double-sided tape I think. I agree with you that the hot glue would cause bubbling issues. I guess we'll just have to see what works best
-
@SC720 photo adhesive, its a spray. That should work!
-
@J-Glide I figured the el tape would be self adhesive which would make life easy but unfortunately its not. Will have to maybe try some spray adhesive after I see what your cookin up.
-
@SC720 with the idea I have brewing. I don't think we're going to need to worry about it. I bet that really confuses you now. Ha ha
-
@J-Glide Beyond confused but excited! Get to work!

Any update on this new EL idea? I'm super curious, and just ordered some wire.
-
It would be nice to hard wire the "el wire"
-
Amazing !
-
@njcustom I agree but this would surely void the warranty.
-
@jwheel I'll have something in about 30 days. I've been super busy.

This is so sick..I'm definitely doing this. Check out this site: link text
They claim the new 3rd generation el wire is twice as bright as the 2nd generation and when it bends, it holds more of it's shape better so less mounting points. Also they have water resistant and sound activated kits.
-
Hey any update on that project had in mind? Only curious as I'm lookin to make some mods with my board arriving soon.
-
@LA-Dreads sorry, life's been busy. I hope to have an update soon.
-
@J-Glide no worries trust I understand. Was only curious, all on ur time friend.

Where is the tutorial?
@tomtnt said:
@J-Glide thanks for the inspiration - I just added it to mine...
question - how do you get the hot glue to stick onto the metal part of the frame? Mine sticks well to the wood plates but won't bind to the aluminum.
Where is the tutorial?
