yah, check out the DIY section where tongman did his CF overlay fangs and rear diffuser from a plan 3M CF roll. tongman mentioned the fang was a PITA to cut and do, so if you're not handy with cutting and trimming get the bat's kit!

If you decide to paint, which is what I did, make sure you get the right tape. Regular masking tape won't get you the clean, professional lines you'll want. Taking the time to prep and tape will make all the difference in the end. People ask me if I had mine done at a shop. I just tell them I took my time with the taping. Good luck with whatever you decide!

title of this thread is funny. when someone says "3M tape" im thinking they're talking about black electric tape. :rofl2:

Back to topic...

I decided to use matte 3M tape, because if Im fed up one day with the color, I can just rip the tape off and use another one...or leave it as it is.
Both parts together, front and rear, did cost 100,- Euro, thats about 130-140 dollars, I guess.

The front was the most diffcult job, because I didnt want to break the lines from front to back (front to headlights, to bonnet, to doors, to rear) - hope you can imagine what i mean.
Taping the fangs in black completely does not look good, because it lacks contours - its just one big black hole. Very poor, imho - but a matter of taste.

Cleaning is very easy, just wash and dry, done.

car looks like it's giving a double :tup:

Looks clean on the pictures. The matte 3M tape looks good.
Do you see a different to painted front fangs? I think the fangs completely in black looks nice and give the 370z an aggressive look. But its really a matter of taste. I didnt wanna do it by myself.
I will give it to a professional Caption Company.

Nice done! :tup:

Thanks, glad you like it.

No, there's no difference to painted fangs. You can't recognize the color as tape if you don't know it - or touch the borders with your fingers (small obstacle).
Tapeing it yourself would be a very hard job indeed, painting is much easier and satisfaction with the result is almost guaranteed - not so if you're tapeing it, because you definately got to know what you're doing.
It took the pros about 2,5 hours for front and rear to finish the job!

with the available 3M Di Noc films i would definitely wrap it. works as a bra and replacable as needed when worn.

with paint you have to touch it up or re-sand/paint and it will take a lot more work.

i have to say though, that the duplicolor engine enamel matte-black i used on my dd's fog lamp surrounds have held up VERY WELL to chips and weather (including salt). if i had no choice but to paint it, i would use that paint for sure. :tup:

very unique!
