Default How to rice out your Z to the max vol.1 <Carbon Fiber film your B-pillars>

Hey guys,

I'm not 100% sure if anyone else has uploaded same DIY yet.

However, I decided to start off my "How to rice out your Z to the max" series

with installing carbon fiber film to Z's B-pillars.

Installing this part will add approximately 25RWHP to your Z.

1. Required tools are [ scissors, 3M Dinoc Carbon Fiber film, marker, hair dryer ]

2.This installation is very easy. It only took me about 20 minutes (first attempt).

I'll be wrapping few of my forum friends' Zs tonight and expect to install them

in about 5 minutes.

3. You start off by cutting 3M film to approximate size by folding them(or you can measure)

4. You then mark them to better fit to your Z.

Hardest part is cutting one side of B-pillar as indicated by red circle on the pic.


Marked area does not have any space to tuck in your excess film.

Therefore, you'll have to cut it to perfection if you want it to be perfectly done.

5. Prefit your film to your B-pillar
#############Do not stick it on to your car, YET.##############

6. Now you make a copy of the film for the other side.

This process can be done by putting cut film onto another film and marking

them.


7. Now put them on your car. First fitting the marked area and lastly towards the other side.

8. Heat the edges and wrap so that it won't start peeling later on.

9. Now your car has extra 35 horsepowers.




*** My next "how to rice out your Z to the max" vol.2 will be on FairladyZ emblem.
