Carbon Fiber Vinyl

Couple of questions:

1. Whats the best brand?

2. Has anyone wrapped anything curvy?

3. What do you think a wrapped front Mugen lip would look like?

I have it for about 2 years. I wrapped it myself. I have not had any issue with it. It holds up fine. It protects my hood from rock/chip. It costed me around $100. I wanted carbon fiber hood but it was too expensive. I think CF hood would cost $500+.

Isn't that a factory option?!

And Im not sure. I'm up in there between black, purple, matte black with lime green accents, yellow, or maybe a blue. Too many damn options..

I think the factory option is only Raptor ghaphic, not the whole car.

I like matte black.

stereo bezel...


switch trim... starts like this...


ends like this...


did the roof at one time...didnt like it though as it looked too fake...


peeled off the roof and scrunched up crap start but...


give it heat and ends up looking like new like so...
