Carbon Fiber B-Pillars
4 Attachment(s)
ok so i ordered some carbon fiber vinyl off ebay (48" x 24" sheet).
can be found here with different sizes available: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/260856777621?...84.m1439.l2649 this stuff looks pretty damn good for a vinyl with a textured surface. Anyways, today was such a beautiful day in Toronto so i thought i'd go ahead and apply the vinyl to my B-Pillars. i have never done this before and it took me about 30 each side to apply. below are some pics, let me know what you think :D: |
came out good.
|
Nice! looks good man. This looks like a good one day project for me to knock out.

So i finally went ahead and did this as well. I found the 2' x 4' wrap online for about $15. It's very simple to work with and I have plenty left over. I'm thinking about wrapping some interior pieces as well.

Looks good on silver and ti. CF is fine if you don't go overboard with it.
|
Agreed^
Id do this but with my hood, wing, and gas cover I think it'd be over kill. |
CF is definitely good in small tasteful amounts.
|
nice mod looks good.

I think the vinyl looks great if there is little cf on your car like the others have said.
I have a couple cf things and I felt the need to go with the real one because it would look silly among all the rest of the clear coated cf. Here is a pic of the more expensive option for comparison. Attachment 235242 good job with the DiNoc btw. |

did you remove the plain black wrap from the pillar before applying the cf or did you just wrap over it? I am going to try spraying a test piece of the dinoc with a few layers of clear coat to see how it comes out for a more realistic CF look , if it looks good i'll do the same to the vinyl on the car |

plan on doing the same thing soon, looking forward to it
|
BTW... Does anyone know how what the OP used compares to the 3M Dinoc CF vinyl?
I might look into clear coating as well. |

I didn't even realize you could remove the black from the pillar. I just wrapped it over. I rubbed each area I was wrapping with rubbing alcohol before applying the wrap. Then I used an edge to keep air bubbles from forming.
i wrapped over mine as well just in case i dont like the carbon wrap anymore. as for the real Anyone have experience to these? How's the weave and quality? http://www.ebay.com/itm/3D-GLOSS-REA...#ht_5612wt_941 |

I have some extra dinoc laying around and my stock pillar wrap has some battle scars... im digging the look of the dinoc with clear coat... I wonder what more coats would look like. maybe I need to do some experimenting.
