Custom CF wrap

***Lex31905*** · 01-24-2010, 04:21 AM

Lo 8th, So again, sorry for no pics but my net is being a tard right now...

I have the Ralleye Red 2Dr coupe and what I'm kind of going for here is a CF over the top look, I already got the CF hood and full trunk (very happy with

) and am still in the decision process on whether or not I want the CF OEM wing on it or not. But my question is pertaining to the roof.

Has anyone done a wrap job on this or taken it to a place to get it wrapped? I've seen DIY's for wrapping small items but nothing on this level. Short of driving to Atlanta I think my options for reputable body shops are sketchy. Just curious on whether or not this might be a task I would attempt on my own, if someone could give me some advice as far as difficulty of wrapping the roof myself... I still have the old hood and trunk and wing I could practice on so.... Yeah. Any help? And for those who don't have a clue please feel free to enjoy this bunny with a pancake on its head and dont say I didnt give you anything.

do a real carbon fiber over lay, resin, sand, clear coat it. dont go for these cheap ass overlays, they look like complete

Its not that difficult if you practice first with some small parts and get used to the material, I recomend you 3M Di-noc black carbon fiber look. If you want to cover a big area, you should work with one or two friends, maybe you can get an idea from these videos: YouTube - Installing 3M Di Noc Carbon Fiber vinyl over Lexus ISF
YouTube - Montaj folie CARBON 3M capota - by COLORTuning
It may not look as your real carbon fiber parts, but it looks nice!

Got it from a local 3M distributor, you can get it online on ebay (3M di-noc)! Not that cheap but you get it!

MurderedCivic · 01-31-2010, 12:12 AM

when you say local 3M distributor, is that a local 3M store?
