  • Canadian Winters and Vinyl Overlays

    I'm considering adding some vinyl to my '6 but am concerned with how it will hold up through a typical Canadian winter. Do I need to worry about it cracking or peeling? Will the cold and snow reduce the life of the overlay?

    What about salt? Is that going to eat away at the vinyl?

    If you apply them as they tell you no problem except for wear and tear.
    I had some flames made of the same stuff and they wear well with winter weather.

      I had no problems last winter with my vinyl from kustomdecalz. The salt and the cold didn't affect it one bit. They use tons of salt here in WNY and it got below 0 F plenty of times.

        I had vinyls on my car for about a year and half. They eventually started peeling, and some of the wheel overlays just fell off. But they're cheap enough that buying a new set in a year and a half isn't a big deal.
