Am i looking at the JDM folding mirrors or the roof wrap? Either way both look dope!

 

i'd love to get these up front, with ground control/swiftsprings

and the yellow koni s in the back with groundcontrol/swift

one day..... when my wife isn't looking!

 

lol roof wrap. thanks!

 

distract her with some shoes!

 

Glossy wrap FTW. What material did you use?

 

i used 3m 1080

 

Same here. Do you think it scratches pretty easy?

 

do i think? i thought i was just being noobish with my squegee technique. it scratched and wrinkled easily. had to keep stretching it to prevent but it still wrinkles.

 

Yeah that stuff is super easy to scratch. Apparently all glossy wrap is. Yeah it wrinkles a lot too.

 

u think a thicker wrap would be better? like oracal or something? im still wanting to do my fenders, door handles and fuel door.

 

Maybe, i think they are just surface scratches so i dont know if thicker wrap will help. Waiz used hexis and he never mentioned anything about scratches, so you might have luck with that. I couldnt find hexis here so i got 1080 which is pretty close from what i hear.

 

koo. one thing i didnt do is hit it with a heat gun. gonna see if i can fix it tomorrow somewhat.

 

The sway bar helps a lot actually. zero body roll. I've noticed the car doesn't feel like it wants to flip on on ramps lol

 

Finally fixed the waviness on the clear coat after my noobishness and rush job couple of months ago. Went all the way up wet sanding to 3000 grit and finished with compound. Gonna wash the car later too much sanding residue.

 

Ryu,

You might soon become the JDP Engineering equivalent for the East Coast
Good Work !

 

no not quite. i think im gonna quit soon. this is too much work.

 

Sorry my fault.It must help if you are not on Coilovers. That makes sense.
Im on coils so the ride has 0 body roll at all

 

Gave the Fit a full wash after all the sanding and compounding I did to her today. Polished and waxed the hood a little to give it some shine.





Tomorrow my DA arrives. Gonna claybar the whole car. Using CG Clayblock and Luber. Then wax the whole car. Ordered a bunch of stuff from Chemical Guys too. Ill do whole glaze/sealant next week.

 

Oil change and met another fit

 

For those of you who have worked with vinyl, what is the difficulty of say, wrapping the roof? I know using a heat gun is a good idea but I'm not sure if this is a project I want to tackle yet. I'm thinking about wrapping the roof in black, and using carbon fiber vinyl on the hatch panel where the H badge is, the door handles, the mirrors, the gas door, and the rear diffuser thing. Thanks
