Does anyone know if you have to take the front bumper off to take out the fog lamp covers? The CF wrap will be here later this week and I'm going to wrap them. Thanks in advance!

People on here have tried to resin the fabric (on interior pieces) without too much success. If you are gonna resin them why not just buy real carbon fiber matting? I think you'd have more success going that route.

Problem is, how do you get the carbon mat to stick to the plastic?

not quite, they use a sprayed contact adhesive like an upholstery shop...non aerosol. The number one problem with resin on carbon is that the resin does not wick into the fiber. Then you get a MAGIC SHELL effect, then spider cracks...then rogue pieces flaking off. This my friends is why prepreg was invented.

The manufacturers actually have to use this because it does not have VOCs. Super 77 does, so they had to stop using it.
