Just got a few exterior items wrapped in 3M Di-Noc Carbon Fiber Vinyl Wrap

[VXjunky]

the windshield surrounds look cool,,,,what are those going for?

When it's all said and done, do you now think it may have been easier to have just had your whole VX wrapped? Kidding!!

Mind asking your guy how much it costs to get into that business? I'm thinking there'd be a decent market for it in my area too.

Looking good so far.

The business is kinda a side thing for him he does everything from the house mainly advertising through the local Craigslist, word of mouth and car forums. He currently in dental school at the moment and when he has free time he wrapping to help pay for tuition. Feel free to email him directly wuwraps@gmail.com for any questions you might have and where to order the material . I do know he has about 2-3 different site he normally order from depending on the material he using for a customer.

The wrapping looks fantastic and 3M are the best materials so no worries about durability.... The additional protection is an added bonus plus you can change it when you get bored ... I mean when you fancy something different... rather than change your VX..


I am dead envious... If I could find someone doing that quality of work over here I would be writing to Santa.....

Agree with just about everything.......except the door sills.

They might look good when the primer coat is covered up.

Of course, that is only my opinion, and we all know what that is worth.

The door sills is a personal choice I was planning on getting it wrapped in Cf but wanted a little contrast with the Brushed Aluminum giving it a modern look interior wise least to me. I don't expect everyone to agree with me which I totally understand but all opinion are welcome.


Next on the list (small items) :
Interior kick panels and those grey little handles on each side of the roof

The DiNoc is how so many of these supercar owners are turning their rides "stealth" without destroying a quarter million dollar car. It's fairly durable from what you read on other sites and such. I'd imagine if you decide to keep it on you may need to get it redone eventually but some materials I got from them listed the UV resist at around 3 yrs. If you know anything about 3M products that probably means at least 6 yrs of looking good even with sun.

The upside to this vs dipping is you just peel this off and wash. It doesn't destroy what's underneath.

The cool thing is it's actually textured as far as the carbon fiber materials go and really has a nice hand to it.

I'm from Seattle meaning it's cloudy an average of 226 days per year =D

With winter here again, seems like a good time to pull some pieces off and send to him. Prices seem very fair too especially considering how the end products look! I'll email tonite a see what few pieces may cost like side mirrors, grille, rear half moon if sent as a package. Looks very cool!

I'm about to do a partial wrap on my hood & roof, etc. and wondered how your wrap held up, Pnwdawg?

any comments on it? advice?

[evillecutter]

how reflective is the hood insert now? the entire purpose of it was to be a dull color to absorb the reflected glare from the sun off the steep angle of the hood - notice any difference?

[pnwdawg]

I sold the vx a few months back to Amish who also a board member hopefully he see this thread.

I'll let me know about it

[VXR]

I sold the vx a few months back

why did you sell?

[tribalvx]

im actually planning on a carbon fiber wrap for my VX. here in El Paso i have a guy doing everything except the cladding for just under $1200.00
the cladding is too pourus and ruff. you would have to sand it down to look like normal bumper (alot of prep work). if you do scratch it it would be a matter of puttin a new piece on. i plan on doing 3 coats of clear coat to give it a slighty more glossy look as well as protecting from minor scatches. also extends to life of the wrap (Fading). i will post pics when i finally get it done in the next few months if anyone would like to see

3M discontinued the Di-Noc wrap and was giving it pretty serious discounting when I checked about two months ago. Ask your shop if they're applying 3M's new material or their old material and what (if any) advantages there are to each.
