Good carbon fiber vinyl wrap for ABS spoiler to wrap it?
 
hi guys just wanted to know if you guys know of a good carbon fiber style vinyl texturized looking pretty much like carbon fiber. As I want to wrap an ABS plastic rear spoiler and have a nice clean finish :)
I know there are lot's over at ebay , but I don't know which ones are quality ones and way more moldeable with a heat air gun .
tnx

Hydro dip? Oh, you want texture... I have no idea if they can do that bit.

Hi I'm looking for something like 3D texturized I see there are different patterns of carbon fiber. Don't know which one will suit best for the Rear spoiler I bought . I'm also worried about how to wrap the plastic spoiler. Are they easily moldeable with a heatgun?

This is the spoiler I bought, how do you know this one will look on an FRS argento D6S color ? I think will give a sexy look on the tail

Just a heads up, that's gonna look like complete garbage OP… Far from "clean".

Maybe his version of clean is different than yours.

OP - do what you think will look best that compliments what you like :thumbup:

I don't know how easy it would be to contour to something as complex as a wing.
We were worried about the quality or the perception of a wrap. But we were quickly put at ease when we saw Mclaren's getting wrapped and how well it turned out.

hopefully thees pix do it justice.

Nice! Where'd you get your wrap done? Was it a dry application or wet?

Hey Congrats!! that's a nicely done job ! . What's the vinyl you've used I like that kind of wavy pattern texture seems nice also, to the touch of the finger do you feel any pattern. Is that 3m 1080 ?

I got it done at SS customs in Redwood city.
I am not really sure the difference between dry or wet. they did not use any water if thats what you mean. It was a spray adhesive I believe.

We had the side mirrors done at the same time.
The total with everything installed was 425$

I think the shop may have changed locations as well.

Impressive Wrap should be releasing their new 4d carbon fiber vinyl. The CF weave in the vinyl has depth and the vinyl itself is gloss.

this has got to be the cleanest and most "real" looking cf vinyl ive ever seen!

imo, all other cf vinyl wraps look cheap and tacky in person.
