That looks nice. It'll go very well with a CF hood.

Looks good, pretty impressive if you did this yourself! Do they have a gloss CF material though?

I have some of this stuff 3M Di-NOC, It's alot cooler in person! I tried a test peice and applied clear bra over it. Turned out like crap. Seeing in person looks just like dry carbon. I wraped my cell phone in it.

Love it! Did you do the install yourself? I'm curious how difficult the process would be. The YouTube videos seem pretty straightforward. Then again, all I've ever installed are the small AeroTect pieces.

Looks really good. If its 3M Carbon DI-NOC that stuff will hold up to just about anything. I was going to wrap my grille chrome it in but decide to go with black.

Is the weave in the same direction or opposite direction as the roof spoiler?

Yes it is the 3m Di Noc material. They do not have "wet" carbon. yes it is going the opposite direction. I use my XM antenna. My local tint shop did the install and they had the product. They get it directly from 3M. It is pretty strait forward, but you need at least 2 if not more to do the hood. You always have to keep it at a strait angle when lying it down, or you will get crease marks and not have it lined up correctly. You can stretch this stuff quite a bit, but the more you stretch the more the pattern looks "off".

OMG!
Whats the difference between this and the carbon Neffywrap?
Which is better for wrapping our front grill and fog light covers

See if they can put a clear bra over the wrap. If they can, it might be the best fix to have it look like wet CF. + it will match the sun roof better.

I had it done in Frisco, TX (sorry) We tried a piece of clear on top, but since it is not a flat surface it looks really really bad. You might be able to put some sort of clear resin or something on it, not sure. Again I do not know what the neffy wrap is made out of, but I know this is made to withstand the outdoors. I may be doing the grill surround in the future.
