Carbon Fiber Wrap.. Opinions?

Hey guys, I was thinking about getting some parts on my car wrapped in 3m carbon fiber vinyl. I wanted to wrap the entire hood, roof, trunk, and mirrors. Any opinions or ideas? Would it look cheesy? When I get my new splitter, I was thinking of wrapping it also.

We've sold many NS kits and wraps in CF.
It looks awesome!
Let us know if we can help.

Ive wrapped several things myself with 3M cf wrap (splitter, spoiler, tailight bezels, lots of interior pieces) Heat and patience is key. My hood stripes and mirror decals are done in cf as well.

You will probably get asked "is that real CF?" and whether you care or not about saying no should determine it. Using CF vinyl is as ricer as some of the other ridiculous things that get slammed on this forum.

Ultimately it is your car.

here we go with the uneducated "ricer" comments. Heard them all before but I'm not worried. My car looks amazing with her cf accents, my 24 trophies including multiple best in shows I took this season alone speak for themselves. Dont let people nay say you OP, you can't make everyone happy just do what you want and make your car your own.

Thanks for the support, like I said before, I just want to make sure it isn't overkill, I might end up using a matte black wrap instead to make it more on the lines of the 1le!

Try plastidip first to see if you like it. I did my roof so I could see if I liked it before spending 500 bucks to have it wrapped. I love it and haven't had it wrapped it. The plastidip is holding up very well. Been on for almost a year now and looks like new.

Since you asked, my opinion is cheesy. Some like their car sprayed with Rhino-Liner, but not me. My idea of a good looking car is, paint and chrome. You ask, and I gave. Whatever you do you have my support. Enjoy.
