ManwithSupra Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) Thought i would get some and do my window trim, I ended up running out so could not do the rear qtr's.... but will order more I think it looks good. I was going to see if i can acutally get these parts made in carbon fibre but the weight saving would be minimal anyway and cost was high. What do you think?

SupraD06 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Looks quite good mate, just waiting on some more of this myself, i had some delivered last week, and its realy good stuff, not like the cheaper film stuff. Has a good thickness and quality feel to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManwithSupra Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 Think i'll reserve judgement till i see it in the flesh so to speak I have to admit, it does look better in the flesh, in the pictures you dont seem to get the effect very well.

Dnk Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Will you have to remove the quarters to do this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I think it looks good, only you have wrapped one with the lines pointing down and back, and the other side down and forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I like it, looks nice. Good effort as its not easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavin.starr Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Wher did you buy it from. Would it be possible to laqure over it to give it the effect that a resin has be used and also to help seal it in against wind and rain when driving, as it may look bad if it starts to lift at the front edge. Good effort though fella it looks really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezzler Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 How does this stuff fit? I'm guessing it has adhesive backing? PITA to remove I bet, heatgun jobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen other installs where the film has been used outside (wing mirrors, trim etc) so i guess its fine but i suppose time will tell, the stuff is pretty durable and quite difficult to remove without a heat gun so should stand up to the weather.

The Raven Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I thought about this, But in the end didnt do it. I now have my dash done, front spliter, Trd Blade, and full dash covered in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JS2004 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Have you washed the car yet and is this stuff still on? Some scumbags have taken a knife to those areas on my car and subsequently made it look naff. I am not sure how to fix it, but this looks like an option - provided its durable enough.
