Default Carbon fiber CME valance?

Getting a CME for my silver SS, and was thinking about doing something a little different and using the Di-noc to wrap it to look like carbon fiber. I have carbon fiber letters on the back, some carbon fiber accents inside (neffywrap), carbon fiber nose emblem, etc.

Whatcha think? Wonder if someone could photochop it?

That's funny cause I was thinking about that today when I was putting mine on the car. Just not sure how it would hold up or how long it may last back there. Would be interesting to see if someone did do it.

Don't see why it wouldn't hold up? Its made for that. I have my work trucks wrapped in vinyl, going on two years of hard abuse and still fine.

I dunno, just like to do something different. I saw a couple guys paint them flat black to match their berger panel, looks OK. The CF would probably look better on a black car vs. my silver.

emblempros hydro dipping

Vinyl is nice and cheap, but hydro dipping looks much better IMO

I could easily make you one out of REAL Carbon Fiber if you would like... I'll give it to you at my cost just to see one out there.

Great idea. How much does that COST?

If you want CF I'd jump on this.
