Thought i would try my hand at Vinyl wrappping (3m Dinoc Carbon Film)

Thought i would get some and do my window trim,

I ended up running out so could not do the rear qtr's.... but will order more

I think it looks good.

I was going to see if i can acutally get these parts made in carbon fibre but the weight saving would be minimal anyway and cost was high.

What do you think?

Looks quite good mate, just waiting on some more of this myself, i had some delivered last week, and its realy good stuff, not like the cheaper film stuff. Has a good thickness and quality feel to it.

Think i'll reserve judgement till i see it in the flesh so to speak

I have to admit, it does look better in the flesh, in the pictures you dont seem to get the effect very well.

Will you have to remove the quarters to do this ?

I think it looks good, only you have wrapped one with the lines pointing down and back, and the other side down and forward.

Whoops didnt notice that, i will have to redo the offending side now oh well, its quite thereputic lol

well spotted:D looks a good job though

ive got some of this stuff done my gear surround at the mo going to finish off the rest of the dash ,but i never thought of using outside do you reckon it will be weather proof enough ??

i wouldnt worry whos gonna see both sides together

I like it, looks nice.

Good effort as its not easy

Wher did you buy it from.

Would it be possible to laqure over it to give it the effect that a resin has be used and also to help seal it in against wind and rain when driving, as it may look bad if it starts to lift at the front edge.

Good effort though fella it looks really good.

How does this stuff fit?

I'm guessing it has adhesive backing?

PITA to remove I bet, heatgun jobby

Geat idea and great job...Can do mine if you want.lol

Looking to get my dash done in carbon effect.do you think this material would be suitable to do the job.How is it for forming around moulded sections?? Also how much would the material cost me to cover the dash area do you think

looks canny , want to get my dash done and what you have done looks good too so that might go on the list of stuff to do

Also how much would the material cost me to cover the dash area do you think

Get out your tape measure chap!

I have seen other installs where the film has been used outside (wing mirrors, trim etc) so i guess its fine but i suppose time will tell, the stuff is pretty durable and quite difficult to remove without a heat gun so should stand up to the weather.

Anyone wanna do my supra dash in carbon fibre wrap... Lol ;-) how do u get it to stick?

I thought about this,

But in the end didnt do it.

I now have my dash done, front spliter, Trd Blade, and full dash covered in it.

looks great.

Have you washed the car yet and is this stuff still on?

Some scumbags have taken a knife to those areas on my car and subsequently made it look naff. I am not sure how to fix it, but this looks like an option - provided its durable enough.

Mine is still on.
