Not quite there yet on posting the pic

Go to the image in Photobucket. Put the marker onto IMG Code and copy that. Post it into the thread and your picture will appear

Man, that turned out really good! Keep in mind, I am by no means a professional installer, but I tried to install vinyl on my targa top last year, and the contours of the roof made it near impossible for me!

I had bought a rubber Applicator but it did not work at all. the best thing to use to spread it is a felt squeegee type thing, but i am not that fancy so i used a credit card, worked pretty good more pics coming soon.
