so...I was tired of looking at my polished paint, and this dry,ashy faded spoiler. I figured I would give this carbon wrap a chance. note: this is my first time wrapping anything, but I think it came out ok.

Nice job. How long did it take?

KMACK

about a hour...I did it without removing the spoiler, had someone stretching the vinyl while I applied and massaged with a heat gun. My recommendation would be to remove the spoiler, Makes life a little easier.

Mines the same way, rest of the cars great but spoilers crapped out & ive been quoted $100-150 to repaint(seemed quite high)...might have to go this route myself, looks good!

You could buy paint can from an auto body supply shop, that auto paint in a can and paint it yourself. Thats what I did when I had the GFX kit on my IS. Came out pretty nice. Or take it to any body shop 50-75 bucks have them reshoot it

Nice job! Mine is fading as well. Decided to use some plastidip on it and now that it hard to come off. I'm planning on wrapping mine along with my roof. How are hard was the wrapping it?

The carbon looks great and the install looks great!

But, I think vinyl on our cars is ricey

Indiana Alumni cutting corners just like the basketball program. LOL. Just kidding man. It's not my style, but I guess you can get away with it on a black car. I'd probably have taken a chance rattle can spray painting it before I wrapped in vinyl CF. Actually, I'm lying... I'd just have gotten it painted by a shop if it bothered me.

KMACK

Not hard- just a little time consuming to get it perfect

Thank you sir

I can see that in some applications, but it doesnt look like carbon until you are close up on it, and that was my idea. from a distance it blends with the paint nicely IMO

LOL, tough season for sure on the road in the Big10. The wonders of the material, if I didnt like it, it could be removed. Honestly 6ft from the car and you couldn't tell it was wrapped, and for a $22 investment, you cant beat it IMO

I wonder if anyone done this for the whole car. I do a lot of high speed and my car is full of tiny chips especially on the front bumper and hood.

KMACK

Couldnt see doing the entire car, but I know people with exotics that dont want to paint go this route. For what you are looking for, sounds like clearbra is what you are after. this would reduce the amount of paint chips on the bumper, hood etc

not bad and a cheap fix but i would have rather spent the $100 to get it repainted or at least used a black vinyl. That cf vinyl looks nothing like cf which is the only reason im opposed to it.
