Simply Graphic easy C7 side window graphic upgrade
The
C7 is adorned with a pair of triangular shaped side windows that beg
for some sort of decoration. Most people apply company logos, Jake
skulls or whatever to these rather useless appendages. We came across
what we think is a nice addition to the windows. A company called
Explore Off Road makes a quality graphic of an American flag that
blends perfectly into this unused space. The graphic has a matte black
finish that is not overwhelming but blends in very nicely.
The
best part of this is that the graphics are very easy to install.
The key to any graphic installation is planning the exact
location of the layout. Talking your time and having patience is also
critical.
The graphic kit comes with two flag graphics and a
application tool. The graphic has a two part mask that facilitates
installation.
The
first step after unpacking is to pre-position the graphic over the side
window. Center the graphic over the window and place a length of
painters tape down the middle.
After
the graphic has been placed peel off the top layer from the bottom
masking material. peel from right to left until you reach the strip of
painters tape in the middle. Using an exacto knife or scissor cut away
the bottom mask on the right side.
After the bottom mask is removed
use the flat squeegee to apply the black flag graphic. Take your time
and press very firmly to ensure that here are no bubbles under the tape. After
the right side of the graphic is in place peel off the left side bottom
masking material and slowly squeegee on the remainder of the graphic.
Remove the top paper layer to reveal your new window graphic.
