Default Interior Carbon Fiber Overlay Kit

Is now available...

http://aerotect.net/catalog/index.ph...c5616e021c6b8c

Adi did a great job designing this one. A little trimming is necessary to make sure everything wraps nice, but we are including the razor knife for the application.

You will need to remove your door trim and console pieces, and I think there is a thread somewhere on CL that shows how to do this. We should also have an instructional video available online by next week.

Order by the 16th to qualify for our holiday gift drawing.

I'd be curious what the difference is between this & Neffy fabric wrap (and of course whether there will be a group buy).

I've tried both, the Neffy has less dimension to it and feels cheaper in my opinion. The Neffy is easier to mold but messier to apply. A heatgun really helps the vinyl application.

I've been shunned for doing this to my ISF's "super nice" interior. Oh well!

As always, all of our Lexus products are priced for CL members... Plus we currently have free shipping, and if you order by Wednesday the 16th, you are eligible for a prize in our holiday drawing.

Fluxx, The complete kit will always run the same direction (all 7 pieces). This was the last piece we modified for this kit, and we must have cut it separately... Our computer cut kit will cut everything the same direction.

Phil if you catch that bring it by and we'll swap that piece out for you.

Yo thanks again to AeroTect for the fine CF wrap they did and the clear bra they installed on my sisters IS350C. It came cleaner than i expect.. Anyone that wants to see it in person I'll be at AutoMax for the BBQ on Saturday.

Is this a pre-cut kit? Is it easy to put on?

It's definitely a fairly easy DIY. A little time consuming though, only because you will need to remove all the trim pieces to do the installation.

Hope to have an installation video up by next week. In the meantime go to our website and click on "instructions," for three videos showing our CF film installations on other surfaces.

Any idea whether or not you can "undo" the application? For example, lets say I mess up, can I remove it and the adhesive and go back to my normal wood finish?

How about in a year if I decide to change back?

Thanks for your time.

The funny thing is I just bought all the supplies and did it myself a day before this pre-cut kit came out......dang.... Regardless, I think it came out fairly well. I really like the 3M vinyl, there is good quality in the material. I'm definitely not an expert at wrapping, but here's a few pictures of how it turned out. Thanks again AeroTect!

Yes you can undo the vinyl on the wood trim because it has a clearcoat. Simply take off the vinyl wrap and use goo gone or something similar to remove any left over adhesive (if any).
