The CryderSteez Setup

[CryderSteez]

Did you take the deck plate off to do it or did you go right over? Also did you wrap it over the sides?

Your decks look nice and clean. I just did the UFO mod on my decks and carbon fiber would be a nice compliment.

I applied the vinyl when I had everything taken apart, and yes it wraps all the way around. The tonearm is definitely something you don't want on there when doing it!

Looks great!

Nice decks man, especially the carbon fiber wrap.
How did you do at the corners? just heat & stretch or cut & fold it into the underneath of the casing?
Can post some pics?
I'm about to wrap mine, it does look good & hence a way simpler attempt to pimp up those tables rather than sending them for paint job.

The corners were super easy to do if you've got a heat gun OR just do it outside on a sunny day, that heats it up just fine. I just laid it out on top of the deck then cut diagonally as straight as I could at each corner. Heated it up then folded each side down to the vertical part of the frame and took a razor blade to it, super simple. This stuff really is easy to work with once you understand a few things about it, there's a very good chance some of it will find its way onto my next car

Thanks a lot for the tips! I dont have a heat gun but people says hairdryer will do
Yes mostly people do this kind of wrapping in the automotive pimp business...i read on the forums these 'wrapping mode' is really addictive once we can get the hang of it

Love your set up man! Nice to see the "reverse evolution" from controller to vinyl turntables. Love the carbon decals on those decks too. I have been thinking about that idea since last year but made me finally go for it when I saw yours.

one last questions, how thick is the carbon fiber sticker?

It's a little thicker than your average die cut vinyl decal, I wanna say something like 1/32"?

You have one very very sexy set-up man, looking hot!

Do you use squeegee during installation?
