This just in.. Lyle Beckwith, the genius behind vinyL stYLEs wants to let you know that they will be opening up a shop next week in San Carlos, California! They are planning a Grand Opening for October 17th — and you know what that means?! Along with the usual goodness of food, drinks, and all that good stuff, be prepared for a most excellent raffling off of prizes, decals, wraps, etc!

For those that have been in a cave or under a rock the past 5 years, At Vinyl Styles they help auto enthusiasts make their ride a little more YOUnique.  They started a few years back wrapping the chrome headlight surrounds on MINI Coopers, all thanks to Jef Schoenstein @Schoensigns

Why? Well, because the MINI Cooper rolls off the assembly line with a good amount of exterior chrome trim that some owners don’t really care for. That’s when Vinyl Styles comes into play. Vinyl sheets are stretched and wrapped over most exterior & interior trim. This is often known as “blacking out”, of course, other colors besides black are also available. MINI’s aren’t the only cars they work on; possibilities are endless!

Feel free to shoot Lyle an e-mail and he would be glad to elaborate or answer any questions you have! You can hit them up at their website here. Stay tuned to Miniology for more information on the event!
