Who can wrap an interior piece for me in real CF?

NewYorkJon34 · 07-28-2010, 10:59 PM

I have a Metra aftermarket faceplace piece that I need wrapped in real Carbon Fiber. I tried the 3m Carbon vinyl wrap twice and It just doesnt come out good imo. The 3 dials/circles are just too much for the fake CF vinyl to handle.

Im looking for someone that is good at wrapping pieces in real CF and giving it that clean/glossy look. Respond in this thread or a PM me if you know you can do it, thanks everyone

wrap with real cf???? is that even possible?

Yah, it's possible. Check out some of the youtube vids where some UK guy shows how to DIY a real CF wrapping kit.

Is it really the DiNoc's limitation or the installer, NYJohn?

Its not as easy as it looks. I try wrapping my cover in carbon but just couldnt the carbon to lay stay down on the first and third dial, even with it being tacky. I know 370ztune said they have people that do the wrapping, not sure the pricing.

did you see these ones? They're pretty nice... actually had them a while back. Although I never did any interior stuff.

Real carbon fiber is messy work and requires some thickness, otherwise just becomes brittle. You would need to use your faceplate as a mold. The carbon fiber would then be attached with adheasive. Unless you can find a faceplate already in CF, Di Noc is the only realistic option. Did you try heating it?
