No, I was surprised too.... heck last week I received my Rotorpros rotors and pads via USPS, four heavy boxes and one light one just sitting on my door step. LOL my mailman is on drugs I guess.

Didn't get a chance to install them today, weather was a tad chilly.

Hopefully this week they will get done.

Here are my white fading stripes on my Legend Lime. My son and I installed them yesterday afternoon and we love the way they came out. Thanks for the great service and the fantastic product.

No problem! Those look fantastic! If you wouldn't mind emailing me the full size ones, I'd appreciate it. When others ask what they look like on different boards and such, I'd like to have some good examples. Sadly when you attach them here, they get real jagged.

Installed mine this morning. I have some little bubbles on one side that I'm having a helluva time getting out. She is in the sun now...hoping that helps, otherwise I might have to pop them with a pin. Anyway, enough of my woes, here are pictures....

DarkFire I understand that the best way to install them is using TacoBill instructions?

First let me say, that looks great. Now for the bubbles. Did you apply the stripes wet or dry? If dry, having it sit in the sun won't help. You will need to use a sharp (and small) pin to pop an edge of the bubble then push the air out towards the hole you made. Don't worry, the vinyl will seal itself (this is done all the time). If you installed them wet (with a water/soap mixture) and were not able to squeegee the bubbles out, the same rule above applies. However, once you get the water out you might have to go back and smooth them out. Sometimes while the rest of the water dries, air can get into the small hole and lift the vinyl a bit. Nothing to worry about though.
