Carbon fiber wrap

Abenitez · 01-10-2011, 11:16 AM

Anyone have any First hand experience in transforming a part of the exterior of the car and putting a sheet of carbon fiber film over it to make the car look sportier in an inexpensive way? If so what material and where can I purchase it? Thanks in advance everyone! 8D

Try the 3M Scotchguard 1080 gloss CF vinyl. I just picked some up since I hated the matte DiNoc look. The 1080 looks really good and I am very picky.

For exterior I don't think I would go for a CF wrap. Interior, sure why not.

Interior and exterior a wrap is fine...as long as its done right and clearcoated. Much cheaper than real deal cf

Theres a good thread going about 3M DiNoc.

One of my friends wrapped his old S2k in cf. It was nice until you got real close.

I tell people it's vinyl.....your only posing if you try to pull it off as real CF.

I dunno... CF wrap looks and feels cheap.

I used matte black to wrap all the wood trim. Looked pretty sick, but I just took it off last night. Turning in the lease next week.

Anyway, its pretty easy to do, if you have a lot of patience. Also have someone help you, because 2 hands is not enough for this....
