carbon wrap

[Neil - UK]

tried out some 3M self-adhesive carbon effect vinyl on my mates mirror on saturday, he just wants to change the look of his car for a few months, think the hood louvres are next in line

here's a pic before the final trim, was done on the car, the material is pretty flexible and forms really well using heat without creasing, around the compound curves of the mirror housing

You must be registered for see images attach

the material is called 3M DI-NOC CA-421 black carbon wrap vinyl, there's about 6 shades within the range all matt finish, anthracite,silver, white etc.

It peels off great without harming the laquar

looks good
looks like a dry carbon piece
not sure I like it on just the mirror

do they make it in the wet-look CF?
I would think that would be more difficult to reproduce and still have that 3D look

Hmmmmm.......me wonders, how this stuff would work as stripes........Hmmmmm

they dont do it in a wet look, but maybe it could be sprayed with laquar if off the car

we thought about stripes intially but because it so stretchy, it would deform and loose the straightness in the stripe when you try and get it around the bumpers

I like it, good alternative to powdercoating small parts that are showing wear. I dont think i would use it on my viper though, fits the personality of my civic more imo

Looks pretty cool!. Time for someone to do a whole vinyl wrap with this stuff!

Hmmmm. What about on the Gen 3 & 4 hoods only in the middle without stripes....

Interesting. Show pictures when you do the louvers please.

This could be a good look on the hood vents. Seriously, no pun intended Dave.

I think they would look great on an already black car.... hmmm

Here you go Mary..
(not film though...)

I think the film will work and look good in a lot of places but not sure about stripes or a larger type piece (hood?).....
