RE: upstate New York
Matt,
I got a sheet of paper. 1) Surface temp no less than 60* and no higher than 85*
Surface prep: I did go out and buy bottle of 91% Isopropyl Alcohol from Hannaford for like $2.50 (if you wanna use mine you're welcome to it) which should be more than enough for cleaning (unless you've got some 100 proof lying around[sm=alcoholic.gif])
Ensure surface is 100% dry before proceeding
Applying an adhesive promoter is recommended as an additional precaution (Strongly advised when applying to rough cast surface such as raw door handles, mirror casting, tail gate handles, etc). People have said not to worry about adhesion promoter, as the alcohol will be enough.
Press carefully and appy heavy pressure to outter tape areas to ensure a proper bond. Be careful of pressing too hard to avoid flex damage.
NOTICE: Tape bong will take 24 hours to cure DO NOT DRIVE VEHICLE DURING THIS PERIOD
Bascially, make sure its 60*, you use alcohol, and don't drive the thing for 24 hours (which is nothing compared to a whole winter right?
) These covers look waaay better than those half jacket things for sure.

RE: upstate New York
Thanks for the info......One of these months I am sure the surface temp will be more than 60 degrees. I am going to put the mirror covers, roush louvers, chin spoiler, and caliper paint all on during the same day. That way....It will take all day to do all of those things...so I cant drive it anyway
The covers do look pretty good. I uncovered the car and placed them on it just to see how it looked. Then it took me 15min to get the cover and tarp back on because it was so windy. It was a pain in the ars...but well worth it.

RE: upstate New York
OK guys....I posted a Q in off topic about Xbox live...but who knows what kind of response I am going to get so I figured that I would ask here as well. SO.....do any of you have it, is it worth it, how much is it, and how would I set it up? I currently have Time Warner RR set up and I think that I can hook it up right through the cable box....but I could be wrong. Any info would be great. Thanks in advance.
