Reply With QuoteIf you want to wrap and want the wet look, some company sells a vinyl wrap that comes with a rub in compound that polishes it or you can just clear over it.
what do you guys think about this idea?
im thinking about getting interior pieces done, and maybe hood, roof and trunk. i got quoted 300 for hood roof and trunk... he's going to take a look at the interior pieces. i like the dry CF look BTW that caddy is completely wrapped it went from white to matte grey

i say you do it. thats a great deal! i would
300? I was qouted 500 just to do my hood and spoiler.
I was just gonna buy the vinyl from ebay and do it myself.
$300 is pretty cheap, considering the cost to buy that much material yourself will be up near that price.
My partner brought the stuff and did it himself on his Honda's bonnet.
Cost about NZ$120 for this much of the carbon fibre wrap and he has some left over for his interior panels.
Oh, thought he had pics of the Accord on his FB but doesn't look like it, but here's one of the panel.
Man you have the exact same taste as me! I was looking to get my roof done and interior pieces as well, but Ive been battling between dry CF, matte black, or gloss black for the roof...

Either way be sure to uv protect it, personally I would make it have a gloss finish like Cali had on his.

Meh it's cheap enough to probably rip off and start again.
I am tossing up muself between selling the carbon fibre panels from the super or using them in my car (I had the woodgrain painted black with red, silver, gold pearl) at the moment. Didn't actually like the look at least not from the factory cf knock off.
I'll get pic of his bonnet this arvo
Carbon fiber. LOL.

Don't be hating now :P Not my cup of tea, but each to their own and nothing wrong with it!
Real carbon fiber = Win
Wrapped for 'The Look' = SMH + Facepalm
Ah but in that case, why would we ever paint our car a different colour? For the look right? Or add body kits? A lot of what we do to the exterior of our cars are for looks only. Some people like the look of it and I respect that, I don't, but again I'm not going to hate on those who do.
Well lets not turn this thread to argument we are civilized begins. Unlike other forums, in response to OP, Look is nice price is steep for vinyl wrap, but for the area he's covering not bad.
