Finally, got rid of the woodgrain. I didn't do these myself, as I'm not that patient nor have a steady hand, but had a good friend who's **** with this kind of stuff and decided to do it. His first time doing this, the results are awesome. I'm happy, considering it was free. LOL. Anyways, here are the pics.

It looks dull.

Might I add a suggestion:
Take it off
Spray with clear coat(2-3 layers)
Let cc dry for 24 hours
Wet sand with 2000 and then 2500 grid sand paper
And polish.

you should get a nice deep shine.

Well, these are from Neffy wrap and if I remember correctly, they don't turn out well with clear coat on top.

I believe Papahoff tried the resin and didn't work out.

Correct. DONT do resin.. Same effect as clear.

Leave the wrap alone for the best look.

For a sec there I thought you wrapped the whole car with CF ... I've always wondered how it looks.

Looks good tho... Very clean.

Actually not a bad idea. But, I'll let someone else tackle that idea lol. Thanks. I'm loving it.

Yeah.. I'm thinking of doing one if I can convince my friend to sponsor me. He started his business a little over 2 years ago after working for someone for many many years. I don't mind him throwing his name on my rear windshield to advertise. As you can see, my car is silver. I'm thinking to just wrap the top of the front bumper, hood, roof, trunk, wing and top of rear bumper. Everything from birds eye view and leave all the sides silver

What do you think?

That'll be cool and definitely different. I would like to see how it works out for you.
