Carbon Fiber Front Fang, B Pillars, Side Mirrors (stage 1) installed! (AK370Z)

AK370Z

So, it's been a week since I installed these products. The front fang and side mirrors are holding up great! However I can't say the same about one of my B Pillar (driver side). Top part kinda came off. So, I took it off and upon further investigation, I found out these DID NOT come with 3m VHB tapes. They came with regular double sided tape. Also, the tape is VERY thin. So, I took the overlay off. Cleaned the OEM BPillar surface. Used some of my OWN 3M VHB .45 mil tape and put it back on. It was perfect! . I was so impressed with it the install, I pulled the passenger side overlay off and redid it with the new tapes. Two big benefits of these new tapes:

a. The bond will be very very strong. In about 48-72 hours (when set in), if you pull hard on these overlays, chances are the whole B pillar will come off (or they will be in two pieces) !

b. Thief can ONLY steal what they can take off .

I bought my 3M VHB tapes from this guy on EBAY. Pretty cheap.

However, the fit of these overlays are perfect. If you're standing next to them and you're unaware of this thread, I can probably get away with saying, "these whole cf B Pillars". You CAN NOT tell the difference!


Flimsy thin tape




Cleaned surface




Ready to install!

Since it rained yesterday, I polished all the cf stuff up today I really wasn't sure what to use (also too lazy to go to nearest auto store). I simply used NXT 2.0. Worked pretty good IMO













I lol'ed!
