Carbon Fiber vinyl wrap complete!

Finally had the time and decent weather to get some things finished on the SS. As some of you saw in an earlier post I ripped off the white stripes for carbon fiber. Well, when I bought this Camaro there was a little curb rash on the front bumper so I decided to wrap it too. I then found regular vinyl for interior that matched the vinyl decal almost 100% so I redid the inserts on the dash and doors. Tell me what you guys think?

THAT is something I seriously want to see! Thinking of doing the same!


BTW - OP: your carbon fiber stripes look great!

SS stripes were off of eBay from a guy that was in Cincinnati, Ohio and had him cut me extra vinyl to do the bumper. The interior was a goof. One of my vendors sells the vinyl like what's on the hood but sent me this instead. The hood vinyl was on back order and I didn't want to wait so I just ordered off eBay what I wanted. It's 3M Anthercite Carbon Fiber vinyl. The fiber is embossed into the vinyl and looks pretty cool in person. I've had countless comments on it

Looks great. Did you have any trouble getting the SS6.2 to stick on the CF due to the texture?? I'd like to do something similar but I was concerned it wouldn't adhere well. Also torn between this in CF or gloss black on my black Camaro

I'd would do the sides of the center console too, they just snap off and easy to do but looks awesome,the carbon fibre color is unique.

How is the durability of the wrap on the front?

I'm considering adding ground effects but having them wrapped to look like carbon fiber to match the Transformer carbon on the hood. Real carbon parts are more than I want to spend.

My main concern is how the vinyl wrap will hold up. The paint on my current lower stock skirts has a fair amount of chipping.

So far I've got about 12k miles on it and it still looks perfect. This 3m vinyl is pretty tough stuff. I did have to touch it up though when I scuffed the lower side on a parking block. Cool thing is that I was able to patch a new piece in without ever seeing or noticing anything
