what do you guys think? too much?

 

I would shaft the rings. They stand out too much (physically) from the lights. But I've never seen the grill or lower bumper piece in cf...real or fake...

 

The rings are just laid over plastidipped rings that are currently on the lights. they are just balancing.

I want to do my bumper and all the plastics in cf.

 

If you have extra do a set of magnetic stone guards in this vynil. i love how they look on a mini.

 

it's a pain in the *** to cut this like that. I can't use a plotter to cut it.

I'll experiment with some templates and what not tomorrow. Have any good pics of some?

 

there was a thread on here at one time of someone who made his own with a nicer looking design than the factory ones. im not sure if it's still around though.
Keep up the good work, i liked the threads you put on vw vortex of your work.

 

i like it..can you tell me how to make the front grill, if you don't mind to share?

 

I like the grill very much, are the cf rings just placed on top of the headlight rings to see how it looks ? Because they dont look like they are seated properly with fender/light assembly.....and I think that is why some don't like the look.

 

I think it looks great, heading down today to get my Dash and Doors done
SWEET!!!!

 

I tend to like the dry CF on interior pieces vs exterior. The exception is on a white car. I've seen many BMW 1 and 3's in white with CF and it looks great. Wear it for a while and see how YOU feel about it later on.......great workmanship

 

I agree, but couldn't you just shoot a coat of clear on the wrapped parts to get the "wet" CF look, like the JCW mirror covers?

 

I am very happy with the dry carbon look JBell did for me, here are a few shots

 

Gotcha. In that case, I like it! The CF look has it's place...in my opinion on black and white it can work well if done tastefully. I like what you have done so far.

 

Jroca's doors:
came out great seeing as how they're the first ones done, and done on the door.
I NEED to do mine.

I would like to find instructions for disassembling the plastic from the door card though.

 

so can the vinyl be sprayed to give a wet appearance?

Fantastic job on all of the work!!!!

 

Sure can. I have some samples going out to various painters soon.

 

I like the color, the 3D pattern and this dry carbon look, a real winner....

I think the headlight covers would look better to most if they were actually installed instead of as they are displayed just sitting on top of the chrome set....you really can't appreciate the flavor of this look in that manner.

 

A very nice alternative to permanently painting them IMO....Good stuff!

 

I like this...alot good job bro

 

wow looks good.

 

Thanks,, John did a Great Job on my car!!

 

Grill Yay
Rings Nay

The bits on the doors are welded on and are a pig to get off OK.

Cheers

Welded? As in melted plastic?

 

Exactly. There are 4 or 5 screws holding the panel to the car. Once those are off the door panel can be removed from the door by pulling it off (plastic tabs hold it on). Then on the back you can see all the plastic weld holding the trim on. There are quite a few people that have taken them off, but I don't know how they reattached them to the panel.

 

You can reattach them using a combination of rewelding (using a low power soldering iron) , screws (with big flat heads into the weld bosses) & adhesive (structural 2 pack).

The more the better!
