Carbon Fiber Interior Dipped Trim

I sent a bunch of my G8 parts off to 3D Liquid Graphics. They were able to match paint. Very professional group. Quick turn around! High quality. If anyone was thinking about using them, just look below and judge for yourself. They did great work with the Hydrographic dipped parts. High quality, and great finish. They have a little dust residue on them but they are perfect in person. Can't wait to get them back on the car! Some parts are the matching 39U Stryker Blue, while others are black. Both have the silver carbon fiber print and smooth as silk clear coat on top so it should hold up for years to come!

Yeah water transfer printing=Hydrographics

I have no idea on cost, since my parts were done at their shop with the custom matching paint. The black pieces they could just use generic paint which is cheaper. The company can do the brushed aluminum, camo, skulls, and other prints. This stuff has so much depth and looks so clean.

Can't wait to get it back on my car. not sure if the site has any prices up yet. They use to only do corporate clients, which is why I knew my parts were in good hands. They are just getting into the individual work. I am sure they could give pretty accurate quotes if you tell them what you are looking to have done.

Here is a pic of the G8. Car is in the shop (airbag recall, lifters ticking...), I am currently sick, have a broken foot and getting around on crutches makes any little task a big one right now. I am like a kid in a candy store right now though. Can't wait to get the car back and get this stuff on it. Hope to have those pics on here before too long.

I was saying every car price would be different. They offere different deals on custom work, multiple pieces, and custom paint. All things considered, you get your price.

I am sure you can get a close quote through their site. Welcome to 3D Liquid Graphics! | 3D Liquid Graphics, LLC [Pierceton, IN] you can see all the patterns they have as well.

Here is an actual dipped door from an older CTS-V with the skull pattern

info@3dliquidgraphics.com if you want to touch base with the company about having a part/parts done. They do ATVs, guns, suspension, if you can send it and they can dip it, it pretty much can be done.

Oh, I know of about 50 companies. This is the only one that I know of that was big enough to do large "big 3" contracts and still work with individuals.

If you saw the blah interior the G8 has, you would want this much coated as well. Should spice up the interior some!
