Question, when you CF wrap is it the heat wrapping technique where you just use hair dryer and stretch or do you use the wet technique with squeegee and soapy water?

Wow king. Nice job on the CF. And a $25 mod? I'm convinced. I've gotta do it now. Was it hard to take the panels out? Is there a DIY thread on how to do that?

yea just look for it online they are around 30 bucks for a 1 foot by 4 feet sheet, which is all i needed. Its not that hard either, start with the the ones on the door just pop em out and wrap em theyre pretty easy i sugest using a hair dryer for the edges and curves, then when you feel pretty prepared do the center its a little harder but doable, ive never done something like this and i was able to do it, so its not that hard. If you have any questions just pm me
