Your becoming a pro at using this carbon fiber wrap, lol too bad you didn't live closer so you could do my pieces ;)

Agree 100%

:rofl2: thanks, but im no pro. the material is very forgiving and easy to work with, even for a novice like me. :woot:

I don't think your a novice any more. In fact I do think you are the most accomplished 3M Ni Doc installer on the forums :tup:

:ohsnap1: Just checked my tracking number, I think I should get my vinyl either tomorrow or the next day.

:tup::driving:

ya, I ordered the 12"x12" opition, just to try it out before I order more. I'm going to wrap the area on the wheel where the volume is. I might also wrap the area around my kenwood Nav.

hahaha, sounds good NewYoukJon. :D GL with that.

next up im going to do the backside of the rear spoiler, but i need to get another roll. :D also going to do my G35C's rear valance as well. :p

hey ken, come here and do my Z, i needs some fake carbon fiber

:rofl2:

I know, it would match your faux japanese-style theme perfectly. :rofl2:

you know how i roll, ケンちゃん :roflpuke2:

:tup:

for the whole interior trim how big of a size of sheet do i really need?

12" x 48" size will do plenty good and you can screw up a couple of times and still have a decent sized leftover. (talks from experience :icon14: )

I got my carbon sheet today,:happydance: it looks awesome & feels like really good quality. This stuff really is the closest to real carbon you could get.

sounds good! :D

I just ordered a sample sheet for $8 shipped. :D

nice~! i think you guys will find yourself ordering more next time. hahaha. :D

kenchan!!! that looks magnificent.... did u remove the visors to apply the cf or u just applied it on while it was in ur car...

Thanks, simota. :D I did not remove any of the trims (including the visors) to do the overlays. :p I just sat in my car with a heatgun and squeegee and applied.

I do most of the cutting and trimming outside of the car cause I don't want trimmings dropping between the seats, etc. hahaha

now im super super tempted to do the same to my interior... :happydance:

wow even the side doors? no peel whats so ever?

wait so is it worth it to get the carID w/o navigation main kit 14 piece. Or buy carbon sheet and do it myself? What do you think?

Kenchan, your skills in doing the overlays is much better than most of what I have seen in the past. With that being said my hat is off to you sir! I bought roughly 15 feet 180x48 of this stuff (not 3m a different more textured brand, I apply my own adhesive). When I got it I looked for anything and everything that I could possible do but decided to keep it simple with only the wood trim in my IS350. Im going to give my honest opinion and you can take it for what its worth to you. I like a lot of what you did, but I think a couple of the things have been over done. At first sight, with everything all together, I would think you just got bored and looked for anything you could to wrap with the overlay. I think all of the things that you wrapped can be pulled off as a very classy job but all of it together is just a little too much for me.

Again this is just my opinion, Im not trying to hurt feelings here nor am I trying to be disrespectful.

Nice pen. Here is mine. Carbon Fiber Monte Blanc Meisterstuck Fountain Pen, with matching Monte Blanc Carbon Fiber Chronograph.

No peel, just cut to size and heat it up, wrap it between where you can with your squeegee. If it doesn't go between the trims, just take a small sharp scissors and trim the wrapping portion off and just attach. The adhesive lasts many applications as long as it is clean. :)

I haven't seen the carid one yet (I'm suppose to be getting mine this week which I will end up not using) so I can't speak for its quality and cutting accuracy yet, but if you're pretty good with a knife and scissors there's no need to buy the kit imho!

The benefits with the the 3M sheets is it's thinner, holds shape better (from previous exp with real CF overlays they don't hold shape that well as it's thick), and very cost effective. Plus it looks very nice. :p

Rednismo-I need to getz me more CF pens. :D

The pen I use has Black, Red, 0.5mm lead, and Stylus all built into the same unit. I just turn the pen so that the pen type I want to select is at 12 o'clock and press the button. :p

Very handy for these trim work.

You should CF your toilet seat and lid with the left overs. :D

Something like this? :)

Di-Noc Material, by the foot
