**bmgbdn33** · 12-23-2016, 10:30 PM

Damn, shoulda jumped on this, those blacked look pimp! I want that sticker. How do you get?!?!

**HHTELE** · 12-25-2016, 01:56 PM

Good to go

**Muggydude** · 12-25-2016, 01:58 PM

Turned out really good, very pleased with the results. Used some vvivid 3D carbon fiber vinyl from amazon. Prepped the topsheet and sidewalls by rubbing with a microfiber cloth and some rubbing alcohol. Then applied the vinyl. Used a hot hair dryer for the edges, definitely need heat. Didn't figure out till the end that it works really well if you give enough overlap to pull on the edges and really stretch it at the curves for the tips and tails. Went through 5 xacto hobby knife blades to trim excess (needed the super sharp edge to cut easily and precisely). Touched up imperfections on the white tip and tail sidewalls with a black sharpie.

All in all took about 6 hours, but I'm a perfectionist. Time will tell how they hold up to use, also interested to see how they collect snow or not. Pops is stoked to get on them, old MSU alum. These are 180s (Got them for $230 over the summer), mounted them at -.5. Line on these is at 100.5cm from the tip, which is decently further back comparatively (scaled) to my other skis (GPO, BG, Concepts). Doing some research, it seems the 188s also have their line 100 cm back from the tip of the skis, which is why it'd make sense to mount that length at -2 or so.

Carbon fiber doesn't photograph well, but looks fantastic in person. Honestly one of my favorite looking pairs of skis, simple but I like it.

**2FUNKY** · 12-25-2016, 03:08 PM

Those look awesome man! I wish I would've got in on this deal.

**mcski** · 12-25-2016, 04:29 PM

The black krylon and the carbon fibre libre both look fantastic, but the sticker wins it all

**bmgbdn33** · 12-25-2016, 08:18 PM

anyone willing to flip a pair? man this WAS a kick ss deal!

**cravenmorhead** · 12-26-2016, 07:38 AM

I'm kind of on the fence about mine; I'm 5'9", 180, and my everyday inbounds ski is a 180 Sin 7. I'm starting to think 188 would be too much to push around in the trees, where I tend to spend a lot of time. I'm not that interested in flipping for cash, but if someone had a similar setup in the 180-185 range I'd be interested. I also have a set of Guardian 16s I could throw in if you have a powder ski/binder combo on offer. If I can't find a swap I'll probably mount 'em and see how they do.

They be fine as a pow ski, in the woods. I'm 6'1 and 225, passed on this deal because this is not enough ski for me inbounds in the East, and too heavy to be light touring ski. Really easy to ski on, should be fine in the woods, especially with only a 12 or 13 din light binding.

Dark times we live in.

I was just at a big demo, had to go around asking for 190's, they had nothing. Took out some 187 armada 99ti's and they were toys. Just mounted up some 193 enforcers -2cm with sth2 16's, they are light and a bit too easy to ski on so far, heh.

**krp8128** · 12-27-2016, 05:09 PM

Anyone have buyers remorse?

Really want a pair of Soul 7's but can't find any left in a long length.

**123ski** · 12-27-2016, 05:47 PM

My brother picked up a pair and improved their look substantially.

**skibrd** · 12-27-2016, 10:09 PM

Those actually look pretty good

**rangerjake** · 12-28-2016, 07:40 AM

Those looking for a ski flipper, I think I am going to let go of my pair. Skied them a couple times, just not my type of ski. Here are the details:

Drilled at 0 mark for Dynafit Vertical 287mm. These should DEF be mounted at -2. If you plan on mounting any alpine-ish binding on here at -2 you will have nothing close to a hole conflict what with the narrow pattern of the Dynafit, my short BSL, and the 0 mount.

I also got these at the tail end of their availability. They weren't $99 for me, but $159 after tax. I will put these out there for $140 shipped CONUS.

I also have a set of Alpinist LT skins trimmed for these, but have a new ski of about the same dimension that I will be using. So if you really want some trimmed to fit skins, I could throw these in for their sticker price. PM for deets.

Whelp, I mounted them up with Guardians at -2 and after a couple of shakedown runs this weekend I'm happy with them. I'm 5'9" and 180; these are longer than I'd usually ski but the low swing weight and rocker in the tip/tail made them pretty easy to throw around.

Hey man these things came out great. How much material did you buy? And in what length?

**Muggydude** · 01-08-2017, 10:33 PM

I bought two 1.5x5 foot rolls. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00L9...TF8&psc=1&th=1

You only need two 1x5ft rolls, but I wanted extra in case I screwed up.

Cut the rolls into 6 inch wide strips, for one ski two strips 42 inches or so. Overlapped them an inch near the boot center mark.

I ended up spreading some automotive goop on the tips and tails to try and Prevent them from peeling. Not sure if that was the right material choice, slow set epoxy would be better probably
