Well, not actually Carbon Fiber, but wrapped as such.
I posted about the other blacked-out bits HERE
(Work done by Lyle at Vinyl Styles in San Carlos, CA)

 

Even though I might not have the rack on there all the time, I thought it would be great to have them blacked out also.

 

Now that's a nice touch!

 

I agree! Really great looking mod, and on the black/black CM, just perfect.
Have you thought about blacking-out the door handles?

 

Now that's hot!

 

Yeah. Just waiting for Lyle to get his CM so he can sort out the door handle removal.

 

Looks great. I like the roof rack. I had the same idea, and now Im glad to see it actually done. My black CMS All4 lands in Brunswick tonight! Lots of mod parts already waiting in the garage.

 

Your CM looks hot. Period.
I think I'm calling Lyle when mine comes in.

 

That looks fantastic! Well done.

 

Thanks. Really happy with the way it turned out.

It's well worth it. Especially since you're local.

Thanks

 

Looks like an official JCW part

 

That's exactly what my buddy said when he saw it.

 

Real nice and clean!

 

Thats cool as hell, i need to do that to my cms. Question are your chrome molding blacked out as well? did you spray paint it or what

 

was it vinyl wrap that you used for the rack as well?

 

Well, not me but Vinyl-Styles (Lyle) did. Won't affect putting any of the attachments at all on it.

 

See the first post here. there's a link showing all that was done. But yes, the belt-line is also blacked-out.

 

that might look even better than real carbon fiber since it is flat texture like the fender trim. great work

 

I'm late getting to this thread and came across it while searching for info on CF vinyl wrapped scuttles but I have to say that is without a doubt the hottest looking CM I've seen to date. I can't wait for my wife to dump the minivan and get one!

 

It looks fantastic. The only thing that might top it is if you joey mod the headlights.

 

This looks fantastic. I'd love to do something similar on my all-black All4. How does this work if you're on the East Coast? Does he send you the pre-wrapped parts, and you send him your unwrapped parts in exchange, and it's up to you to find an installer ?

 

Thanks. I thought I saw in the commercials that the "van is back"?

I looked into blacking out the inside (painting it) but I worry about opening that up and having condensation issues.

Give lyle a call. He's a good guy and I think he does something like that.

 

Not something to worry about. They are not airtight. There are several vents in them to begin with. I did a write up last year when I did mine. I have haven't had a single problem with mine since.

Except for all the ogling! ;-)

If I had to do it over again, I would do the black instead of true blue, I'm jealous of yours!

 

Thanks a lot man. Yours looks great though too. We contemplated the white but ultimately I chose the black because it looked more "serious" (for work). Really happy with it.
How did you do your lights? Yourself or did you have someone else do it?

I did it myself, I doubt you would be able to find someone who would be willing to take on the perceived risk of putting an $1100 headlight in an oven.

The reality is that it is very safe if you have an oven that can hold the temperature you set it to. It took me two hours and I all I did was follow the instructions from the 2nd Gen forum. It is a nerve racking mod, but is fairly easy if you are a little bit handy. IF you want to go for it feel free to PM me and I can go into more detail.
