You just need a heat gun, a hard card, a clean dry surface (hexis vinyl doesn't require water), and a buddy if your doing anything larger.

Look up how to apply vinyl on youtube so you can get a good visual demonstration.

Installed the rear strut brace. Went smooth as expected. The cuts are a liitle off but I did not care. I will be covering up the cuts shortly with something.
I had the bar powder coated a flat balck to match as close to interior color as possible. The car is a little dirty at the moment havent had time to clean since school started. Took a little longer than planned being in a wheeel chair and all.

Looking good. Although I personally wouldn't do it because I do fold up my seats sometimes for carrying around bigger stuff. Still nice tho.

I'd like to have a rear strut brace that had a quick release on the bar, but kept the bolt-in bit on at all times. Something with a bolt on either end or some kind of pin system (now that I think about it, the right system with pins would be the best).

If I had the tools and materials, I think it wouldn't be too hard to design. The whole lack of a workshop makes ideas difficult to make reality, though. Next house I buy is definitely going to have a garage. Not nearly enough building, modifying and other general fixing things that aren't broken in my life.

It's already fairly easy to remove if you want to, those two bolts that are visible in the pic can just be removed and the bar portion taken out leaving the brackets in place.
