Default New Side Sill Extensions!

Ive been noticing a lot of cars with CF side sill extensions and they look cool. I found a plastic set from Ikon Motorsports in LA so went up there yesterday picked them up then wrapped them in 5D CF and installed them with 3M tape--I think it turned out good! I included pics of other cars with CF extensions.

Looks good man. Glad it flows with your rear cf guard piece.

Looks good man. How do you like that 5D cf wrap? Im wanting to wrap my roof and am considering the 5D wrap or gloss black. Does it look like CF in person and is it glossy? Some RCFs have the CF roof and I like the way it looks.

5D CF wrap is the best Ive found. It looks amazingly real and it has a thickness. Its tricky to apply so practice first. Need to use a hairdryer to heat it around curves. You can get the 5D on ebay.

Look great. What about the rear? Have you ever thinking about wrapping a portal bottom part of your bumper to make it looks like it had rear diffuser?

Yes but not sure which to do. I have the rear fin diffuser from ebay but I might make a custom diffuser like the pic attached.
