Meet Zionyee:
Born in a Garage, Built for the Road
Picture this: Three broke college buddies crammed into a leaky Montreal garage, covered in grease, blasting rock music, and desperately trying to salvage their first cars. Winter salt ate the paint off Jake's pickup. Sara's Miata got scratched parking downtown. Leo's Civic bumper cracked after a minor fender-bender.
Frustration was their fuel.
"Why is protecting your ride so damn expensive? And why does 'pro-grade' mean 'impossible to install'?!"
They bought cheap vinyl wrap online. It bubbled. Faded. Peeled off in the rain.
So… they hacked it themselves.
The Lightbulb Moment 💡
Armed with pizza, duct tape, and way too much caffeine, they spent 237 sleepless nights (and destroyed 4 microwaves melting test materials) to create something different:
- ✅ Vinyl that even they could install — no heat gun PhD required
- ✅ Films that actually survived Canadian winters — salt, snow plows, and potholes included
- ✅ A community-first promise: No marketing fluff. Just stuff that works.
They named it Zionyee — a mashup of "Zion" (their dream to build something lasting) and "Yee!" (Leo's victory yell when the vinyl finally stuck right).
