I had some pros do it, I guess lining up the carbon fiber pattern on separate pieces is important and requires a higher level skill than just being able to wrap a car.

I am a GM of a Lexus store, so I switch cars a lot (buy them and sell them back to the store etc.) I like to play with them, modify them to a tasteful extent and then sell them.

Love the red one, sweet side skirt as well and the the F inspired side mirrors, wow.

The matte grill is sick! Great touch on that one!!

And the blue, wow that is just nuts! All beautiful. Love the uniqueness. Keep these posts coming, this is a blast. I am interested in wrapping my Toyota Supra in that blue color. Do you know exactly what color code it is and what manufacturer it is from by chance?

Thanks all.

Got the hood vent and the spoiler wrapped in Gloss Carbon Fiber. If anyone wants wraps done in Dallas, Tx I would definitely check out Penguin Wraps.

Hey Sneakerboy. I love that color on your car. How much was it for the carbon fiber wraps? And, can you take your car through automatic car washes now? Thanks!

Thanks man! I believe I paid $150 for both the spoiler and hood vent to be wrapped. But that price can vary with your location.

As for car washes I always run the car through the touchless car wash and I've had no issues. Soft touch car washes will obviously damage your paint and the wrap.

Awesome. That's a very reasonable price. I take my car to Park Place for the free car washes so I was curious if that could damage the wrap. Thanks for the quick reply.

just be careful. I get my car serviced at park place lexus in grapevine and they run the cars through a soft touch car wash. If you are in the area I'd rather head to the sams club in grapevine they have a touch free car wash bay there. The brushes can be harmful to your paint.

Yeah I made sure it was a 3m product. Not sure if it was high gloss but it does have a glossy look to it.

Looks great. Did they wrap underneath the wing as well?
