Talking Carbon Fiber Evo X Mod

Im liking the evo x mod the cobalts are doin and i wanna do the same except be different so i am gonna wrap the center grill bar and lower center bar with 3m di-noc carbon fiber film instead of paint it. tell me what you think, is 3m di-noc carbon fiber film good? is there any other better cf film wrap? thanks

i think there was a show car that was entirely wrapped in that stuff. i dont know how well it holds up as ive never seen it and it was a show car. but it is possible to do lol

someone on here has their roof wrapped in that stuff. find him and pm and see how its holding up

edit: i think its BLAZIN07SS

here's an article that carbonfiberfilm.com did about clear coating the di-noc. seems like it would work pretty well. just dont do too many coats of clear. and the clear they used in the article if from lowes, not HD.

http://www.carbonfiberfilm.com/blog/...oating-di-noc/

hope that helps.

if it turns out well i might get some for my silver interior trim parts(i hate the black radio and hvac with the silver trim, and my silver trim liked to flake off in the old ss...)

Looks pretty decent. Will have to see it in person. BTW we were waiting to see you at the Sonic Meet.
