I think it looks good. Is it really carbon fiber or is it wrapped with carbon fiber vinyl?

 

[Dr. Spyder]

Looks great. Cleaned it up quite nicely.

 

[lexus005]

good work. think you need to coat them though.

 

[96Maniac]

It's 3M Di-NOC vinyl film.
The most realistic vinyl I could find, it has a 3 dimensional appearance.
Total bitch to apply to the vents (larger less complex surfaces are easier).

 

[96Maniac]

This was my first attempt at vinyl wrap.
There are a few areas that are imperfect.
I plan on reapply and shoot with clear coat.

I like! it looks great IMHO

"Rice" is all about execution--or lack thereof... You did a nice job! It actually looks pretty good...

 

[Dizzy Monkey]

I kinda dont like it. Looks a bit weird to me, like it doesnt flow with the car. Maybe a full pic of the car would change my mind. Good job, none the less! Wraping vinyl is a hassle! Its a lot harder than it looks. I know this, cause I do graphics for a living.

I like it! I don't think its rice. But..

Can we see a picture of the whole car?

$20 worth of vinyl is still a better deal...

You've done well, especially since you indicate this is your first attempt at doing this and on a difficult surface with a lot of corners and curves.

 

[HCS]

Looks fine, but I played cheap and modest, and just painted them black to match the color of my car. Looked excellent in the end.

those arent exactly the same, thats a different style vent carbon fiber

 

[sweetpete]

I like it and dont think you should clear coat it, leave it as they are the contrast works well.

 

[Dror Sapir]

You guys are right its VERY hard to apply... this is my attempt at 1080 3M (their new series). its my first time, and it shows. its far from perfect.. but i figured ill probably end up buying real CF eventually and this will protect my paint for now (i get paint chips from the freeway daily). let me know what you think.

vents?

so have you got facelift vents and wrapped them or used prefacelift and made them look like facelift ones?

 

[96Maniac]

Bought 2003 post facelift vents and wrapped them in 3M DI-NOC carbon vinyl film.
