CF Trim...

[drunknmunky408]

always wanted to have CF Trim but never had the time! Finally had some time and did the CF Trim wrapped with the help from John(AsianA408). This is an unfinshed product. We didn't have enough light so we couldn't finish the dash trim.

Thanks John!!!

real CF or that sticker shit?

That has to be vinyl as carbon cloth is just that... cloth.

It doesn't stick to anything.

Silver FD does not belong to neither of us. It belongs to AsianA408s' roomate

If you can't do it right don't do it.

haha, STFU...you probably think its a good idea to paint lowers.

[Blake260]

why not spread some resin over it, and sand it to a high gloss?

[phattbam]

to the hater that said get the vacuum molded ones... $400 can go towards other mods. as for this CF look mod. it's removable. if you get bored of it you can remove it.. as for it being $400 I'd jump on it if it was available for my car, unfortunately I like the dry look better and BMW does offer it for the 3er's just they center console on the M3's are plastic, and the cost is $1400. I'll throw this shit on for a few months and peel it off.. no need. as for money well spent it's just for fun.. I have my money dumped into other mod goodies...

to DrunknMunky408... good job. have fun with it.. don't let others' hate bring your modding addiction down.

I kinda like the dry look. maybe one day when i get tired, i'd do it

[Spykce]

I like it, I'd do the same thing if I could find it. My trim pieces are beat up from the PO.

[Blake260]

where did you get the fabric?

[AsianA408]

its def not sticker... if you look closely you can see the fine stitch

it looks good imo

[Naudi_Mat]

It's your car man, and if you like it that's all that matters.

Nice job man.

[audi til I die]

I like. Especially around the shifter plate. Where did you find the material?

[20A4Audi1.8t01]

i think it turned out pretty good, id be interested in knowing where you got it!

[karmad]

Those look good and so do these

too bad he charges to much

[xraycer2012]

Eww. You need real carbon fiber vacuum molded with resin.

How is that not real carbon fiber? Personally I like the raw look better than the "super shiny hey look how much money I spent on something rather pointless" look.

Nice job! Where'd you get that cf cloth from?

[A4Rob]

I can tell from this picture that it isn't real CF. I have wrapped mirrors, and many other items with CF using resin and sheets of CF. Looks like you got the "real CF" flexable sheets. Carbon Fiber doesn't cut that clean. It gets really stringy when the weave seperates.

Looks like you got this stuff http://www.glfi.com/vinylbook_carbonfiber.htm
Its a non sticky vinyl Carbon fiber that you can cut and wrap things with. (not a sticker)

Looks good though!

Yeah I guess that's why mine are not painted

My bad, I was at work when I posted that. I didn't look too carefully obviously since I didn't notice how insanely clean those cuts were for it being real cf cloth.

I am still for the raw finish cf though. It has been done the real way before. Carbon Copy (i think that's their name) is able to do it.

Huh? Seeing as there is no benefit of spending $400 on this DIY over spending $40 and you couldnt tell the diff. if he only showed assembled pics I would say there is no real right way to do it. Seriously think about it whats the advantage of using a vac mold?

DIY- Do it Yourself. Not
DITWPWTMMWDIANAB- Do It the way people with too much money would do it at no additional benefit.

I don't think you understand. It's vinyl, not carbon fiber. But whatever, if you think it looks good be my guest, it's your car.

So? You couldnt have been able to tell if he would have posted installed pics right? Should we should not viynl our roofs either because we should spend $400 to paint them?

[SoFresh]

some haters... yet the new BMW M6s come with open faced cf trim, soft, no risen on it, looks awesome.

Yes I could noticed the difference. And yes, don't vinyl your roof. Do it right and paint it. No reason to get all worked up. I just don't like vinyl carbon fiber

For your reference, here is a picture of real CF from Carbon Copy Design:

Which is still real CF. Yes it looks awesome. It is not vinyl!

I can easily tell. Even "dry" carbon fiber looks way different.
