Lol wut ?? Mabe a sponser will soon be offering it or mabe it's competeing with the CF hydro dipping thread ? I would wait before starting another I'm sure mods have a good reason, there not known for random thread deletes. We may get lucky and it be a sponser thing here really soon !!
sometimes I just don't get it. Using the Di-Noc is completely different than hydro-dipping; if that is in fact the reason for the thread deletion.
I just got my 12" x 48" piece of Di-Noc. I still don't know yet what I'm going to do with it. I don't think any of it will make it in the car. This stuff is very thin, and I'm betting it's extremely pliable.
So if anyone has ideas on random stuff I could use for feel free to post or PM. Keep in mind I'm going to be clear coating a few things just to see how it works out.

Verdad Gallardo Sail Panels: I've thought about it. It's in concept right now.

I'm thinking I might just do some simple wall art. I bet it'll look insanely good once clear coated. I'll find out this weekend.
I understand the sponsors pay to have the privelage to sell products here, but that thread was a DYI thread and not trying to sell anything. After seeing that, there's no way I'm going to do hydro dipping but would rather pick up the faux carbon fiber and do the stuff myself.

Hydro dipping has alot of advantages that the wrap does not. First off being you dont have to spend the time wrapping things yourself, possibly messing up materials & possibly not achieving the final look your desired. Hydro dipping is great if you have the money to get it done. And on some parts with extreme contours its the only way to get a smooth surface.
I chose the 3M material not for cost(cause once you buy a bigger section price climbs pretty good) but b/c I wanted a "dry" CF look without clear coat or resin over it & a slightly textured surface.
