I was watching that thread as well, and if you guys think I had anything to do with that getting pulled, you're wrong.

I'm all about the do-it-yourselfer. I would like a mod to explain why it was pulled, and clear the water here a bit. I promise, I had nothing to do with it.

Please don't turn this into something it is not and not be open to being a customer of mine; don't take this out on me. I am one of the most honest people you will ever know.

BTW, this is not the same as hydrographics, and is much less versatile.

Sorry, I wasn't meaning it as a bad thing to you or your process. I personally like the textured look better as well. I think the hydro dipped ps3 controller is bad-***.

!!!!Lets all try and stay on topic now then,,,,

maybe someone should clear things up then,,,, either way I wasn't interested in hydro dipping cf look.... and neither was the 1st poster, lets not get in a debate what one is best.

Now di-noc or whatever is called does it look real??? anyone got pics of this stuff up close from different angles.

K...let's be honest guys. For our cars, less is . More is rice. Covering trim pieces here and there looks cool. But when there are guys that start doing the whole door trims, the whole dash, all the seat belt attachments, yadda yadda yadda, that's rice to an extreme!!! It does look cool, I personally, just wanted to go a different route.

I'm just curious to see how well someone was able to wrap the di-noc around pieces such as, the 2 side dash vents, the radio bezel, and the top center console (up in the cubby where the cigarette lighter is), where there are serious bends and crevasses.

Says the guy with blue lights all over his interior lol. There was a recent discussion on another board I am on about what exactly is rice, and well there are a lot of definitions to it...but here is mine.

A person who lacks the ability to mod their car tastefully and is ignorant to the fact that they are distastefully modding their car. These are the people that buy all their performance parts and appearance parts at the same discount parts store or JDM website y0.

You can't do a lot with a 1ft x 4ft piece of di-noc. The neffy wrap is nice because you can get a lot more for your $ even though it's not as pliable as the di-noc, but you gotta make a sacrifice on either end. Both are great alternatives to real CF which is expensive and messy like a *** stain on a nice shirt.

UV LEDs punk. And yes, whenever people get in the car wearing anything white or light colored, I always get that "that's cool" response. It's also funny how lots of people had their say on interior/exterior LEDs on their car. And while I know i wasn't the first one to post pics, all of a sudden got PMs on how I did mine. And then more and more f-body owners starting threads on LED installs. I guess that's why so many people go on forums trying to get a feel of what looks good and what doesn't. I think the majority of us know what is rice and what is cool and unique! Like the time I saw some fool driving his f-body around with like, 5" exhaust tips. C'mon!!!

Big mike, is it easy to tell in person without touching it that it has texture to it? And when you do feel it, how much texture is there.

No reason to jump to assumptions and make accusations based on speculation. No idea where the thread went but don't blame a sponsor who sells a similar product.

Mods cannot ban anyone unless they are a spammer.
