Carbon Fiber Roof, anybody?

1080 is good... I just ordered some dinoc for my sti interior and exterior bits. See if you can get a close up of the 1080 I want to see what the differences are... I will be redoing my Gloss black roof DiNoc for sure!

i think the gloss works well for the roof cause its like an extension to the glass.

bullitt5897 · 02-08-2011, 01:00 PM

I dont like it cause it shows smudges and is light where it was stretched....

I'm meeting with some Gs tonight and one of them is using the dinoc for his interior, so I'll try to capture the two in one pic to see if there's a visual difference between the two... but like I said, my camera's crap

The 1080 is supposed to have a better adhesive, easier to remove, and be more flexible than dinoc. I've seen and felt both and the dinoc is definitely a lot thinner and has less texture and detail than the 1080.

Regarding the high gloss black roof vinyl concept is great but when it's on, it just looks like a very shiny vinyl lol doesn't strike me as being glass at all.

yah, the beauty of vinyl is you can undo it.

if you can come up with something like that, do you think you'll have good sales?

Now that's some hot stuff..

Lighting and camera sucked last night, but here are some pix

And this is how dinoc looks like on a G35 interior door handle

What's 3D cf vinyl?

Bluebatmobile · 02-10-2011, 04:44 PM

Hexis.

Hexis Carbon Fiber Film is highly conformable
Hexis Carbon Wrap Film is similar to 3M's Di-Noc Architectural Film that you may have heard of or seen, but it has some major differences that make Hexis THE clear choice for automotive applications over 3M's Di-Noc!
Hexis Carbon 3M Di-Noc
Designed for automotive and exterior use in mind? Yes No - Di-Noc was designed as an interior Architectural Finish
Removable at some point down the road? Yes fully reversible No*
Not without significant damage to what it was applied to
Dimensionally stable after thermoforming on complex surfaces? Yes No*
Surface primer (adhesion promoter) necessary
Exterior application life expectancy - vertical application? 3-5 Years depending on climate (will last longer in northern climates) 3-4 years (will last longer in northern climates)
Exterior application to a horizontal surface? (ie Hood, Roof, Trunk overlay) Yes with 40% reduction in life over vertical application if unprotected No, not recommended at all
Seamless application on large surfaces? Yes in most cases - Max width is 54 inches / 1370 mm Maybe but Max width is only 48 inches / 1218 mm

What is the best material to use if going with a gloss black roof?

Has anyone had any issues with damage upon removal after a few years?

Carbon_z · 02-14-2011, 10:10 PM

wrapping it in real carbon fiber is better in my opinion.
