2G Carbon fiber wrap prt. 2!

[Monty7300]

After wrapping my hood turned out so well, I decided to give wrapping the spoiler a go. With the help of a few friends it turned out pretty well. Would love opinions or feedback! And if anyone has questions on the wrap or the process of wrapping Id be more than happy to help out!

That pretty cool, Im thinking of wrapping my trunk deck

 

[Monty7300]

The trunk deck would be so much easier than the spoiler, the material was really cheap too. I have 35$ in my hood and spoiler.

Yet again, VERY IMPRESSIVE JOB
You should do it for extra $

Well done. I'd like to see someone go for wrapping the entire car...

 

[J_Hock]

How much time do you have in wrapping the spoiler??

 

[Craig1970]

im not a big fan of carbon fiber but that looks good !!

 

[Lou98GSX]

Thinking of getting a spare hood putting some vents and then wrapping it cause that looks good .

Thanks I would love to do that, and I can't say it hasn't crossed my mind. Unfortunately, my help is going to a racing tech school in Ohio at the end of this month.

Actually there is a thread on here where a guy wrapped his entire eclipse with a metallic dark grey and it looked really sick.

To wrap the spoiler, granted this was my first attempt ever wrapping one, it took about 4 hours. There was a lot of reworking required and it took a little bit of time to figure how I was going to wrap it and hide the seam on the underside of the wing.

Thanks man, I know some people like it and others don't care much for it. But for me I liked it for the contrast against the silver body paint.

Thanks, I would highly recommend the TC bunny brand. You can find it on amazon, awesome price I paid $32 for a 10'x5' roll and it is really easy to work with. It's very forgiving and with a little heat and a squeegee you can contour it around just about anything.

You did a good job but CF wrap cheapens the look of the car IMO. From a distance it looks like it's unpainted and from up close you can clearly tell it's not real CF.

I'm not big on wraps, but it does look well done. However, the only thing I thin you could have done better was to arrange the weave pattern in line with each part of the wing. Beyond that, could almost pass as an actual carbon piece.

Ive been considering a complete car wrap for mine, just cuz i hate body work and paying someone to do work i know I could do myself (read: lazy.) So a wrap would suit my needs, and id love to get some info from you as far as technique etc. If u want to pm me, id appreciate it.

Looks awesome to me, i dont think it looks cheap at all!

 

[rstevens9]

I do full wraps all the time if you want some tips. Also get 3m1080. Not the cheap stuff

Here are a couple examples

I got my wrap for my hood for the gvr4. Just need to get at it . Looks good bro I'm thinking of wrapping the gvr4 just to keep the original paint underneath.

 

[rstevens9]

That's cool. What color

 

[Dsmkauai]

Havnt decided yet something dark. I got the carbon fiber wrap for the hood. My car is supposed to be Belize green but looks more like faded blue/grey to me but I kinda like it . My wife keeps bugging me to paint it , but I like the sleeper look. Plus keeps me under the radar . No one knows what my car is anyway out here. Pretty sure it's the only gvr4 in the state of Hawaii, atleast that I know of.

 

[rstevens9]

It's always fun when they don't know what you have

 

[boostdawd]

U should go with a camo green color. Would look sick. I'm going with a really dark red on my talon after I finish the motor. Also some carbon fiber wrap like my roof, hood, hatch and probably doors.

 

[Dsmkauai]

Could make it look like palm trees and beach and I'll blend in completely haha. I like the camo green idea

I had a go at carbon wrapping my rear central light housing this week, I didn't plan to as I don't normally do wrapping but I cracked my housing a bit when I was cutting a hole in it haha, it came out ok,

 

[Dsmkauai]

I've always wrapped center piece too forgot about that haha, so much easier than painting

 

[rstevens9]

Lol at least it's sticky enough to hold it together

 

[FIBA M - EC17PSE]

I didn't want to do it but I had no choice since I could see the crack in daylight! I have got a spare or 2 but rather not risk it as spares are not exactly easy to come by here , let me upload a pic of it to show you the wrap
