Default Did a little wrapping...

So I was thinking about changing up the interior and exterior of the S a bit this winter. Decided I would try some Carbon Fiber wrap... Holy S! is there a lot of different companies making it... Some stupid cheap others quite pricey...

Well at the end of the day I ended up going with the pricey stuff and SUPER pleased I did... I wrapped all the silver panels in my '05 AP2 (radio door and center console) in Gloss Black 3M Di-NOC Carbon Fiber. Stuff looks awesome almost exactly like carbon fiber cloth. It wasn't to hard to work with either... Also wrapped some Side Strakes that I picked up in the FS section that were far from what they were listed as (terrible rattle can job for the paint and not OEM)... Next week I plan on wrapping the front lip and rear section of the AP1 bumper I have... (Probably one of the few guys who goes AP2 to AP1!)

Interior panels...








Side Strakes...

Lol looks like you did the same thing I did.. Big screw in the top hole, made that little bump. They look good though. Nice job.

Thanks! Sharp corners are the TOUGHEST thing I struggled with during the wrapping! But thankfully with enough patience I was able to get the edges nice and flat around the corners.

Great job!

Not sure how I feel about carbon side strakes, but the consol looks nice.

I did that with both of them before I noticed that the screws were too long. I've got dimples in my pieces now. Be happy you caught it before the second one.

I did the same thing too a few months ago. Very nice!


CF wrapped side strakes? I should have thought of that before I sold them.
