3M CF/DiNoc-wrapped illuminated kick plates
 

I was thinking about doing this, since I've seen several STi's with it done, and it actually looks very classy with the interior stock silver/titanium pieces.

Would that look good on our kick plates? I was thinking just the black plastic portion would get covered, and leave the silver aluminum piece exposed of course.

Has anyone done this and have pics???

yep, i already did them... :p

That does look pretty sweet... Would you be interested in doing others? :stirthepot:

hahaha, part of it is my box cutter skillz, but the other part is how i wrapped it on the physical piece. so i would have to be there in person to wrap it unless one has experience with this stuff.

but then if one had experience with DiNoc he/she would be able to make one pretty easy. :D

so i guess my answer is no. :p

What if someone say ordered them, and shipped them To you?

(I don't have illuminated ones myself)

How does this stuff apply to the surface?

Oh you have to lick the back side. ;)

Your favorite hobby :icon23:

:icon18: yuk!

I was planning to do this on mine... this is a really simple job but if someone is local to atlanta I will be more than happy to do it for them.

Ken... thanks for the pic. Did you have to remove the kick plate to install the 3M CF vinyl? I hope it wasn't a pain :(

Also, you wrapped the section opposite of what I was thinking. I wanted to have the black curved plastic section to be wrapped while leaving the silver section as is. What do you guys think of that?!?!?!

Nice pic Ken!!

For someone who can snap a rubber strap wrench, you have a delicate touch (complement).:icon17:

Did you use adhesion promoter for this?
(i'm noticing that di-noc isn't as forgiving as i was made to believe).

Thanks.

no, im a pretty lazy guy so i just cut to shape and placed it on there. :)

i think the reverse is a nice contrast but might have a hard time adhering to the textured surface unless you take the piece off and wrap it around. id' also use adhesion promotor as well.

hahaha!~ :icon18: im a musician so i have very fine motor skills too. :p

on the bits i DiNoc'ed i did not use adhesion promotor. DiNoc sticks very well to smooth surfaces but has a harder time on textured surfaces. if im doing the black part of the kick plates i would use adhesion promotor and wrap it to the back of the piece. :)

You still haven't answered my proposition Ken... :stirthepot: :icon17:

Ah I see... yes, might have to wrap it to do the black textured plastic. Are those kick plates easy to remove?

BTW, my 3M guy told me to explain to everyone that the stuff he is using is NEW from 3M. DiNoc is the OLD stuff. This new stuff he used on my rear valence (and will use on other stuff) is called ScotchPrint 1080. It's supposed to be easier to work with, and really made for automotive, as opposed to DiNoc. Also, the texture is better.

I really need to take a pic (DSLR) of the rear valence he did. My installer rocks. I'll do it tonight after I detail my car.
