Carbon Fiber Bowtie - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

smiffsonian · 07-27-2011, 03:44 PM

Hey guys, im relatively new to this forum, so forgive me if this is posted/discussed somewhere else. (maybe someone can point me in the right direction if so?)

i'm looking into covering my front and rear bowtie's with carbon fiber. i'm assuming the easiest way is to get some film and cut to shape, but i dont know where to look, and i would prefer some decent material.

anyone have any insight on this? thanks for the help.

You're much better off ordering 3M Di-Noc carbon fiber vinyl off of Amazon and doing it yourself. Far better than what the other companies use and much cheaper than the pre-cut. If you need any tips, please PM me.

I disagree, it's a great product .
Ive played around with them both.
The hexis carbon made by headlight armor is very realistic looking .

They have free samples on there site try it out for yourself .

I too have purchased from them. They have a step by step tutorial on youtube. it's very easy. If i can do it. anyone can. Here's a few pics of the CF vinyls

i put on my CGM. IMO it gives it way more character

3M DiNoc is a great interior architectural product, but it is not a great automotive product as noted above and on our site. Our Hexis Material was designed as an automotive wrap from the get go.

We have a DIY on Camaro5 Here showing the application on the Bow Ties.

More info on the material in our vendor thread here

Let me know if you have any questions about the material.

Well it's been on my car for over a year in Texas heat, ice storms, rain, sun and looks like it did on the first day. I guess that's good enough for me
