Has anyone covered there hood in carbon fiber wrapping?? If so, was it hard? Im looking to get it done, the professionals charge way too much.

 

There was a GS4 for sale over here when I was looking to buy my GS and he had covered the entire car in that crap. It was on ebay for months! I watched his price go down and down....

Dont do it man!

 

i have seen people warping the cars..but make sure take it to the shop..dont do it by ur self!

 

Search DASHOCKER on here. He did his interior.

 

[quoteWhy, its gonna look retarded either way][/quote]

thats a helpful response

 

If i remember correctly YaKuZa_GS did his interior wood pieces, search his build thread..

 

don't do it, it looks tacky, it's not even glossy, it's flat and the edges will start to come apart after a while. if you have to do it, take it to a professional.

 

Just buy a VIS carbon hood. It looks good and they are very affordable.

 

agree with the above. the wrap they sell doesnt even look close to cf and looks very tacky.

 

The pro's charge alot BUT you pay for service. You do it yourself, youll have bubbles and stretched material. It isnt as easy as you think but definitely do-able. Use 3M film off eBay and buy a large sheet of it. 3M Carbon Fiber wrap looks damn real, it has grooves and everything. But Carbon fiber Hood on a 2GS to me doesnt mesh well. But to each their own.

 

Go look on utube, some dude got his roof wrapped on his blacked out gs400

 

Yes use the 3M wrap film. I do this for a living, its not easy plus you need to know what your doing to be able to wrap the edges so you cant see the color of the car from outside.

Im not a fan of it but its what I do for a living.

 

Check out the link. I highly recommend getting the VIS hood. The fitment on my car was really good. Contact Chris @ Kapu Motortrends 310-948-7716. I'm sure he can set you up.

Thanks for all ur opinions. But I think I'm going to go a different route. Im thinkin about custom painting the hood when I get my new paint job. Imma but black in between the cowl. If that makes sense

 

I think I have all of you beat. I wrapped a Japanese kitsuna pretzel I have wrapped in carbon fiber. Looks boss.
