carbon Wrapping
 

Hey guys,
I bought 1080 carbon vinyl to play around with.
One of my bug bears and hates, is the scratching of the door sill from shoes getting in and out of the car.

So I carbon wrapped the non leather portion. What you think?:iono:

Fitting carbon fibre Downforce lip kit this week, so it will match the sides.

Side view

Good plan, I have a narrow driveway so those scratches are a pain. Also I fear it won't be too long till the paint on the sills also shows some entrance/exit scars... :iono:

I have exactly the same problems. I did Exactly the same mod as Ryan86. Also covered the rear part of the same beading. Looks good and a 10 minute job.
I bought some vps type sticker sheet and tried to cover the door sills to prevent the scratches when entering... This is a much more difficult task and I need to redo it ... It is an art to install the clear so still need some practice.

Nice job!

Pretty cool how much for a sheet of that carbon n how does it hold up to scratches and other scrapes

$10 for 1m x 1.2m. This does not scratch unless by a sharp object. If it did get scratched or damaged, you simply pull off and apply new piece,.

You're always just full of bright ideas.
Thanx :thumbsup:

Good idea :thumbsup:

Tried to cf wrap the fender vent but did not come out too well.
Found these on Rakuten for just under R1500. Anyone keen on them and share shipping costs?

I can wrap you vents in real carbon.

Pm for details

Dont know if i could ship there

Real carbon wrapping is very expensive here and yeah shipping to you and back wud cost over $100, so this part from www.rakuten.com is cheap enough...:w00t:

Mine is real carbon ace.

I don't think @Ryan86 ever said it wasn't, just that it would be too expensive to ship to you and then back.
Also if you don't think you can ship here then what exactly is your point?

Thought he meant my pics werent real carbon is all

Is that you in your Avatar 1strwdcar ?

Thanks for watching my back...:paddle::thumbsup:

I got my new FR-S last month and still haven't taken off the blue film lol

insted of buying the wrap online why not go to china town sable square and get a 1m sheet for 80 rand? buying on line is such a mission when you can go there and they sell many other things like HID kits check it out you guys will be surprised!:search:
