Default Blackbird stripes: Carbon fiber

I have decided to get a set of blackbird stripes to change it up a bit.. I am thinking of maybe getting carbon fiber. Anybody have a clue who would do these? I would like it to be the exact same as the dinoc as I am doing a couple more things in dinoc.. If they won't match perfect, I won't do it.

If I install them and don't like them I will just order a black set, no big deal.

To say my local options are limited would be an understatement.. How would they get it exactly the same as a blackbird decal though if that was an option?

Gofast- Pics will be posted in here if it happens.

4th circle was my first thought as well. I'd shoot them an email. Cool idea.

Why not make your own, its very simple to work with carbon fiber vinyl. I did my berger panel in it.

If you really want it to match the Dinoc, then I would talk to someone who makes blackbird stripes and see if you can supply them with the dinoc and have them cut it for you.

I don't think I would have a problem working with it... But cutting it straight enough and in the exact pattern would be impossible.

Good idea man.



*Does anybody have 4thcircles phone number, I browsed the site and googled it with no luck.

CF is one of the color options for blackbird stripes on 4thCD's website.

I hope you get them so I can see the pics. I was so close to pulling the trigger on some CF stripes for the side of my sunoco hood but ended up just getting black.

I made my owe not really all that hard. Mine wasn't dry-noc it was normal vynal. I just made a pattern to fit how I wanted and layed it over and cut it out with razor blade. The pattern was a lot harder then the cutting and putting on!

I am not comfortable with that. I see no way of making the stripes perfect, if you know of a way let me know... However, it won't go on the car if its not perfect and I'm not wasting money.


Still no word back from 4thcircle, anybody have a number?
