NEW Dry Carbon Fiber Wrap. Thoughts?

[phunny]

I don't think there is anything wrong with my vr intercooler. They've been proven to work great on our cars.

! Nevermind, I think it went over your head.

InfiniteGSX The 3m adhesive is what i used and it held up great for a while then my headliner started to sag a little behind the sunroof. so i decided to redo it and used the same adhesive and some of the glue in areas and it worked fine ever since. I could of done wrong but it looks good now.

You probably just didn't use enough. I've had thin spots on headliners that I've done come loose again, but when I took my time with the spray and made sure I got a good even thorough layer I couldn't get it to come apart to save my life. The last headliner I did has been residing happily in my friend's car for 4 years now with no signs of coming loose

that could be it i know the second time around i used a ton of it because i didnt wanna take the headliner out again.

probably did go over my head. doesn't take much.

My opinion of it is, it's rice. It's not real, does not replace the real part and only technicly adds weight, and your paying for it. So, again IMO it's rice.


It's just high quality rice .

Wow, what can I say to a comment like this? Well I'll try. First, these cars came stock with some type of fabric on the panels, do a search for 93 Rx-7 interior problems. Second, it is the weight of the fabric, which is nothing at all. Third, Rice? Are you serious? It's a 500hp pump gas street car that is absolutely beautiful. But yeah, it's rice because it looks good. I guess to be "Not Rice" it has to be hideous right?

-Just wow.....

Oh yeah, and I guess my stock seats are rice also since they match the cf perfectly. They come stock with a type of cf pattern... Silly Japanese rice seat makers...

Phunny, you've been put on blast way too much, my friend. I think it looks great and not at all "rice!" I'm with you in that looking good does not always = rice! Keep it up, man!

I was referring to the num nuts putting it on there dash, arm rest etc. Overlays replace nothing so they add weight. Yea sure go replace your headliner and cloth paneling on your doors etc. (Referring to DSM's since this is uh, DSM website) smile be happy about it. I don't give a shit. The OP asked for opinions, I gave mine. You don't like it, thats great I don't care.


Edit. And to your comment about it not weighing anything, while it's weight might be negligible, a OVERLAY since you want to nit pick. Is adding material that was not previously there. It's fake and your paying money for it. So IMO it's rice. /end However if it's aesthetics's please your eye that much over the OEM interior go right ahead my friend. As I said above, OP asked, I gave my opinion, in the end it's your car, you like it do whatever and be happy about it.

It actually weights nothing... Think about it, 1st you remove the old fabric and glue and then you install new fabric and glue.... 0 - 2 + 2 = 0

How is it fake??? I'm pretty sure it's exactly what it claims to be, fabric with a pattern.

And like I said before do a search for the 93 interior. It literally bunches up and falls apart. Guess I should taken that $50 and bought a GO FAST PART.

Again, I am referring to OVERLAYS! How many times do I have to say it? If your replacing the original part then whatever thats great. But adding it on top of a dash, armrest or centerconsole is wait lets do the math OEM part + ### aftermarket fake shit = more weight.

You keep twisting it to look how you want. Because you have already made up your mind about this stuff. I am not let me say that again NOT referencing replacing OEM cloth with this shit. Yea, I will agree no weight added there. But then thats NOT what I was talking about. (see above)

It's fake because, oh wait it's NOT real CF! Which is exactly what it is designed to imitate. In my mind it's no different than someone putting a CF sticker over there OEM hood. If I had seats, cloth panels etc that need to be re-covered, I would just re-cover them. Sometimes to some people, restomod styled cars just look nicer.



P.S. Don't get all pissy about this, this is my last response to this thread. You asked for opinions. I gave mine, you don't like it, fine then do whatever the hell you want. Like I already said I really don't care. If you like it, it's your car, you go do whatever you want to it and be happy about it. In short "To each there own"

I do like opinions and that is why I posted this thread. The problem is when people like you start the going way off topic. I am the OP and I was referring to my car.

And fake?! this still throws me for a loop. And please don't respond to this thread, as you are, well, uhh, yeah...

This cf overlay looks really good, I am wondering if it would look good on the headliner of my white 3000gt headliner, the interior is completely black.

 

[InfiniteGSX]

Phunny, Updates Damnit! Or I vote for a ban!

You should do a small piece, like a Cd Cover or something, resin over it and sand and clear and post pics and review the way it held up...

 

[4g63turbo84]

wraped any new parts???

 

[NycDSM11]

someone stated that this isnt glossy at all. you think it would look good with a clear coat enamel?

[black_gst]

HEY PHUNNY,

i have been think of getting some of the stuff to play around with but i was wondering if you could make a shifter boot out of it? do you think it is possible and would it hold up?

 

[tma1c]

That looks pretty sick! Good Job!
