I like carbon fiber, just not on these cars so much. Yours looks good though! I really like the work that you did..looks high quality.


What kinda rims and suspension are you on?

Nice job What else are you going to wrap?

Want to come wrap my interior and get rid of the nasty wood Wish Lexus would have more options for different color trims in all the models.

for your information, people wrap CF on HIGH ENDS cars, NOT just HONDA, find out how much it would cost for you to get it wrap on your ride and you tell me if is for HONDA...

to get it wrapped with actual cf it would be pretty pricey. if it was actual cf i would think the parts would look better. imo the vinyl cf just looks cheap. dont get me wrong. im not knocking your work because you did an amazing job wrapping the parts. its just not my cup of tea.

never really understood the point of wrapping in CF Vinyl...

"here, let me wrap this item in this vinyl (which adds a tiny bit of weight) so that it looks like it's made of a material that is supposed to be much lighter than the original."
yeah....

other types of vinyl i dont care so much, as it seems less like you're trying to pretend it's cf or anything similar.

couple of reasons for me..
1. Cheaper than CF..
2. looks like dry CF which i like more then gloss CF..
3. saves time
4. easy labor..

i say you go for it, it looks really NICE on a roof, make sure u get the 3M di noc k, cause they is a lot of copy and fake CF, 3M di-noc is made for out door and is really good with weather, had it on my car for a year n still looks like i had it yesturday, and yes is kinda pricey. what you pay is wut u get........
