Default Carbon fiber wrap w/ some pics **!! CETA UPDATE !!**

*****Scroll down for update*****

Hey all, I started to wrap some stuff on the t/a. Im just getting started, its my first time using this kind of stuff. First I did the triangle peice on both sides of the car next to the window, and the t-top bar on top.

Future plans for when I get a little more time will be underside of wing, cutout around the exhaust in the rear, side t/a emblems, and the bird on the front license plate cover.







OK, i had some scrap wrap leftover and did a section of it real quick to see how it is, as soon as I get my wrap this weekend, Im going to do the whole thing... and take my time doing it.

These pics arent the best, i did this wrap really fast because it started to rain outside.







*** UPDATE ***

Ok, heres another update, did the CETA mod with 1 peice of vinyl. I am going to plasti-dip around the edges tomorrow to give it a finishing touch.

Just wrapped over. I used a hair dryer to lightly heat it to wrap it around the edges and corner.

Depends what you're looking for, 3d or Di-noc, wet or dry finish?

Ebay has good deals i've seen. Some supply 3m products too.

This is one of those mods/projects that can quickly get carried away and turn into a laughing stock. It looks good in very small doses, and even then still looks out of place.

I'd like to get some in various shades of black to freshen up trimmings and what not.

Looks pretty good! Do you have any pictures a little farther back of the wrap you did by the window? I've wanted to get black and do this since mine look pretty bad close up

Go on ebay, the di-noc from 3m is expensive. You can get the 3d for cheap and is a great product.

What impresses me is how sharp it looks. The CF wraps I have seen are dull and the edges of the CF are not defined. This stuff looks great.
