Cf mirror caps

kenchan · 06-10-2015, 10:44 AM

yah, id have to wrap it around 180 degrees for the leading edges. this is why i asked if the caps were easy to remove. i think they sell adhesion promoter too, which would help the edges wrapped inside the mirror cap from lifting.

what about a CF wrap with a few coats of clear

kenchan · 06-12-2015, 01:37 PM

I have mines wrapped on red for more than a year now and the still look awesome

you have to find a good shop that work on that and you are going to be fine

You guys should try the 4D CF wrap. When I couldn't find anyone who would wrap my headlights with real CF I used this for the meantime. Still have plans to do real CF but this has worked just fine.

This is the exact one I got:

Orion 4D Carbon Fiber Vinyl Wrap https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KSZ5F5C..._-EZEvbNN5DJFD

You can't beat that for ~$35 shipped Prime!

so how does this 4D differ from 3D?

Z34_Nismo · 06-12-2015, 03:32 PM

You get more of the CF depth, texture and a better gloss finish. I wish I had a comparison for you guys but I let the guy who did my headlights keep my 4D wrap. When I get a chance after work I'll see if I can get a good shot of the headlights next to some 3M CF wrap for comparison.

Edit:

Looks very similar to the real stuff.

Wow this looks amazing I think for the. Small amount of money it's worth a shot ....I'm going to buy it and do a roof wrap I currently have a black roof wrap right now but this will go better the other carbon fiber parts that I bought( rear spoiler door handles B pillars)... thanks for the great idea and info I will let you know and post pictures on the end result

carlitos_370z · 06-15-2015, 06:40 AM

ended up going with the EVO R mirror caps and took the advice and purchased the 4D Carbon fiber vinyl absolutely love the quality and look of this stuff looks almost identical to the real CF parts I have on the car I def recommend it I bought it from the link to amazon that was posted I wrapped the rear diffuser and roof in it .....

It's hard to see anything from far away. Can you get some close up shots?
