Carbon Fiber Wrap

Mdwyer... Unfortunately the crack will show through. Too bad I didn't know beforehand lol. Yes it's 3m

And removing it if done slowly will be just time consuming and some goo gone.

Crud. I was hoping the texture would be enough to hide it. Thing is, if I'm going to slop up the insert with filler, it's gonna need new paint anyway... *sigh* What to do...?

From the one semi-good photo that you posted, it looks great! Did you do it yourself also?
I love the 3m Di-Noc... WHO said that 3m is discontinuing it? I know it doesn't recommend or warranty it for wrapping on autos, but I can still get it from Fellers. I only wrapped it to cover the peeling clearcoat crap areas, I would have like to do the whole VX, but don't NEED to yet.

I'm posting my photos as someone requested before. I have put it in some of the other spots like the hub caps and side of door frame as you can see.
My photos don't really do it justice either... I've had dudes take photos of it while driving. PHOTOS in MY Gallery

looks really cool - could our wheels be done like this?

You can carbon some rims, the stock ones have too harsh of angles with the center cap the way it sticks out. ( hope that made sense ). I just used plasti dip on my rims today to make them black. It looks pretty good and really easy to use.

The CF looks awesome.

plasti dip? did you use the spray or the actual dip?

Just a side note, i had a buddy spray plasti dip his TC wheels and they were very hardy. He has been driving em for about a year, including in the salt, snow and dirt of colorado winter. They still look great. Its all about good prep like any painting, wrapping, etc.

Do you think you could plasti-dip the cladding?

[tribalvx]

i used the spray now that i finally snatched a few cans from homedepot. its usually on back order. im also gonna use the plasti dip for the cladding (see how it turns out) and to get rid of some of the yellow in the seems.

wheels look really good - did you take the tires off the wheels to spray them or just tape them off?

My friend taped em. Plastidip is a liquid rubber material, kinda like a bedliner only thinner.
But it finishes like powdercoating.
