So I've been hearing all the "hoopla" about this new 3-D C/F wrap....So I thought I'd give a go!!! I'm think'n about wrapping the roof of my ride, but like they always say...if it's new to you start small- so I figured a lic. plate frame is small so I went wit' it. If you have patience this is a good test. Jus' do your layout, cut it and tack it,remove air bubbles with a credit card. The corners are tricky, jus' heat with hair dryer, stretch and press until it's smooth. I'm mounting them with a light smoked acrylic cover. Can't wait til' tomorrow to see what they look like mounted.. Remember... you could always buy c/f lic. frames, but I like to do my own projects.
:hyper:

I like it since it looks really clean and it will keep looking good; on the plus side it won't be like real cf plates that get the clear coats which crack after a while, Good Job Man

i like how you(vinnymac) always think outside the box. this is awesome :)

C/F 3-D wrap finished and mounted...:hyper:

two thumbs up :)

this is pretty cool, and would be good for the lulz, where did you find the wrap?

your an inspiration of creativitiy to those of us looking for future mods to do. Coming from my previous car and the nissan owners club , what your doing is EXACTLY what this site needs more of to achieve greater popularity. more diy's with pictures and a helping hand. Keep up the work.:vtec:

nice piece of work. looks real clean mounted.

Mahalo much!!

Thanx, ma'man:) In my humble opinion, jus' putting nice rims on a ride, lowering it flat on the payment looks nice... but it's not to practical if you use your ride as main mode of transportation, besides that's what "everybody else" is doing.

^ don't get me wrong.. i had a lowridersuperflushracecar before. it's just refreshing to see a difference in styles.

Oh, I'm feel'n ya' man..I had one too!

MAN! You ever drive that thing Vinnie? I'd have that parked in my living room watching TV in the driver's seat :). Awesome work! Thanks for sharing...

Looks great. How is the finish in person, does it look just like cf? Or is it matte like finish?

What he asked!

Yes it has a slight shine and texture to it, not the high gloss that real c/f has...but looking at it in person you would not be able to tell the difference unless you examine it very closely, being that it is a 3-D wrap and not the ordinary cheaply made c/f like vinyl wrap. My question to myself is how long does it keep that fresh look? The "warranty" says 3-4 yrs. but that remains to be seen.:D

Thanx...As seldom as possible!:rotfl:

Hope to see your car one of these day on the road. XD

I'm sure you will eventually, when you do thro' up a shaka atme!:rotfl:
