So I have this current infatuation with the dry CF look.. Because of this, i bought a seibon TSI matte finish hood. Now, this is my dilemma: Should I dry cf vinyl wrap the roof and the trunk? Or do you guys think it'll be too much? give me your opinions!

This is the site that got me hooked

this is my car currently without the hood (should be getting it next week)

Is your hood dry CF as well? is so do it. Planning todo the spoiler as well?. I think it will look cool.

Like stated above, hood is matte finish seibon TSI. haven't received it yet.. but the suspense is killing me I think i'm gonna just take the spoiler off.. I don't like having a spoiler

I hope you know that is a Vinyl wrap and not CF,,, people throw the term 'dry carbon fiber' around way too loosely, it doesnt really reffer to the material so much as it does the proccess which cannot be just wrapped over any surface,,,

^ +1 but the hood will look nice.

yeah it will look pretty good, and since the OP said hes become obsessed with the dry CF look he'll be happy, most likely

of course i know that. that's why i said dry CF "look".. I don't have the money to replace my roof with actual Dry CF, and that would be ridiculous. It's a wrap, and It can always be removed, that's why i'm leaning towards it.

if i had the money for an actual dry cf.. it would be fantastic, but i'm not a baller

sinned2545

well yeah its obviously a vinyl but IMO it looks better than those carbon overlays...?? no??

I think it would great for wrapping interior pieces, the only thing Id be a stickler about if I were putting it on the outside would be how closely it matches the real parts(ie your hood)

i'd say do it...why not lol

iTrader: (10)

i agree with you.. i was worried about that as well, but i can always remove it if i don't like it and then just reuse the vinyl on my interior pieces and stuff. Thanks for your input!

Just say no to fake mods. The wrap is just for pretend. That's not cool.

technically, most carbon fiber parts are "pretend" since they're just cf overlayed on fiberglass..

i actually did the regular cf and didnt like so maybe this will be my next try .. we have VERY similar cars ...

sinned2545

Ahhhh sweet..ll

good point

i dont think its really pretend more like a certain style... i mean if he told people he had a CF roof.... then i would say no...

but to have the same style for a fraction of the cost... y not...
most of us buy replica parts anyway.....we get bumpers, lights, hoods etc. from other companys... no one really buys Re-amemiya body kits straight from Re.... i mean if u had the money you would...

gh8st

iTrader: (10)

we do have very similar cars =)

+1.. thanks sinned. I'm not gonna tell people it's real cf.. why would I? i even admit to people that a lot of the parts i have on my car are from ebay, and almost all the parts are used =)

Youwonder

Good point I mean it look good I would do it cause I can't afford to get a real cf roof and I would let them know it's not real... But if it makes the car look sexy why not...

It might look pretty good, but I'm not entirely fond of black on grey. Especially if you're going for the dry look, instead of wet.

You may need to do quite a few other appearance things to match (i.e. B-pillar, tint, wheels, etc.)

I say go for it. It'll look pretty cool.

i have flat black wheel, b-pillar and fuel door can be wrapped, flat black hood.. and probably flat black trunk
