anyone used this stuff before? or tried it? or what are your opinions? open for any and all comments, thinking about maybe doing my interior trim with this stuff.

I did mean with it, and I love it. It's been on there for about ... 1/2 year so far? It was my first time working with Vinyl, and I recommend using a heat gun. I had a few wrinkles in mine, and I will probably, maybe, eventually redo mine down the road, but it works for now! A lot of people who have gotten into my car think it's stock.

im too lazy to dig through post after post after post, id rather hear current opinions. and thanks guys. any reccomendations on where to get it? ive found some on ebay and several other websites but has anyone had more specific luck with a certain dealer?

ADIDASS

I can't, off the top of my head, remember where I got mine. stickercity.com maybe? I got a big roll + free shipping for having over $100 in material. I wanted extra in case I messed up, which I did several times, but I still have a bit left over. Enough to redo a few pieces.

decalkits.com has some to, they launched carbonfibervinyl.com also. i was also thinking about wrapping my trunk. i think that'd look pretty sweet but i dont wanna look like a *** at the same time lol

AzraelRaezier - Off topic and out of shear curiousity - I really don't know how large Omaha is, but have you heard of a kid by the name of Treaven Knafla? He's 25-26 years old.

I have a couple pics under my profile on *************** (YC.com) as well if you want to see a few pictures of my interior.

Just don't tell people it's fake :p

ADIDASS

I was just curious if you knew him. I graduated wtih him and I haven't spoke with him for a while. We use to be really good friends, but I just haven't heard from him. My retrofit project wasn't too bad, but I suck at painting and I need to repaint the pieces as a few scatches are on them. The hardest part, I feel was lining them up. I have them done, but they are aimed a bit too high. I kept getting flashed when I took them out for the test drive. I thought about just giving up on them and selling them for like $200. Really all a person needs to do is open them, realign them, and seal them up. There hasn't been any sealing issues which is why I am kind of dissappointed to have reopen them. I bought a new interior bezel to repaint and redrill. It is a summer project. They are beautiful projects and costs around $375 in parts.

I'm about to wrap my front bowtie in it...never used it but heard good things.

ADIDASS

I tried that and I had a hard time getting to to stay on there clean w/o wrinkles. G'luck on it, but again, it was my first time using it.

heat gun FTW on wrinkles. and yeah i wouldnt tell anyone its fake, i just think itd be a cool clean look. plus my trunk has some scratches on it from when i debadged it (whoops) haha. ive thought about wrapping quite a few things with it actually like door panels and ****, i just LOVE the look of carbon fiber. if they could hold up from the rash of the road id even wrap my aftermarket rims with it! rofl(total ricer)

^you dont have to tell people its fake...they can tell lol. If you want to mess with it before you buy you can request a free sample off of 3Ms website. They send you a small sheet thats enough to do a couple bowties or something like that.

ill look into it lol. i know i want to wrap my interior trim for sure. trunks just a thought. i could clear coat over it and buff it to a nice shine and it would make it look a little more "real"

jran

I know this is old, but what is a good size to buy in order to have enough to wrap all the interior trim?

riceburner

I'm actually in the midst of wrapping some pieces for a friend of mine that has a SC. He didn't like how it turned out when he did it lol

I reccommend metrorestyling.com. Good product for sure.

Here's the bowtie I did - Had to redo it though after I realized that a piece of hair had gotten trapped under the vinyl - you can see it on the right of the bow tie



Then the first of the trim pieces that I did.

I actually think it'll look really nice once it's all done. It's refreshing to see someone do something that is not "what everyone else does"
