Default RCF Wraps - Please share - Carbon Fiber Wrap










They don't offer the carbon fiber hood from the factory in the US as far as I know, so I wrapped my Hood, Roof and Spoiler in carbon fiber wrap. It turned out even better than I had hoped! Here are some shots. Have you wrapped any of your RCF? Let's see it!

You are right, the pictures don't do it justice! My cell phone can't portray the real carbon fiber look for some reason...

This is the 3M Carbon Fiber Black material. (1080-CF12). Not sure what the 4D is. This package retails for $995, but if you can make it out to Boise, Idaho I can have it done for you for $725. It probably isn't worth the trip, but gives you an idea!

Nice! do you have a zoom in photo? I want to see the carbon fiber-like pattern. Btw, nice GSF wheels better than RCF wheels. hehe!

Workmanship looks flawless. Did you wrap the rear spoiler? If so, consider wrapping the front lower bumper lip to complete the look.

Yes, I will work on a closeup photo! Good eye on the GSF wheels! I traded my GSF in and as part of the deal I switched the wheels... I like them both, but liked the uniqueness of this...

They really did a nice job. Yes the rear spoiler is wrapped, and I want to wrap the part of the front lip that is wrapped on the GSF and the RCF carbon fiber package, thank you for the reminder! They have enough material to just finish it... Anything else I might be missing?

I concur. Do the front lip and possibly the side mirror housings.

+1. Here's mine to give you an idea on the front lip wrapped in CF 4D vinyl and the mirrors wrapped in gray (inspired by the F logo) as well as the same 4D CF wrap.

It looks OK, my concern would be what it will look like after a couple years of driving. Especially with brilliant white, any chips are going to be glaring. Maybe have paint protection film installed over the CF?
