Default Playing with carbon wrap

Got a roll of 3m carbon wrap for my birthday. Thought I would play around with it today.

Nice work! I used their product on the interior of my old Mazda 3 and had good results with it as well. Definitely a great product. Did you wrap your roof as well or is that another product? I never used it on the exterior or in the engine bay but was always curious about how well it would stand up to the weather/temperature changes.

Ya it's on the roof too. I didn't know how it would hold up on the exterior too but my buddy did his Z06 roof almost 2 years ago and it still looks great in the Texas heat. As for the handles and the paddles, it would take way more skills than I have to wrap around those. This crap ain't easy to work with.
