marcAB10 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 just gonna throw this out there.... there were 2 vs fortune kitted rx7's at japfest 2 last year, now one was painted 2 tone and was immaculate. The other was half paint half fake carbon wrapped... now, the painted one looked amazing, its one of those few times that vs actually made a decent enough kit and it went down well.. the other, i can't even remember if it was done well and i don't think most others will. the reason, all i could think in my head was, it's fake carbon and not the real deal. It didn't look really bad or anything, same as a fake Rolex doesn't really look bad but because it's 'fake' it just takes a lot away from it.. I hope that doesn't sound like too much of a dig as your work is impressive and done to high finish but i just.... hate fake. sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see this point but somethings aren't available in carbon fibre and these can be done in wrap.... like these and they look a lot better than the original IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Someone a few years ago made some for a group buy in brushed stainless with the supra logo cut out in the corner. They looked great. How hard was it to take the ridges off? Just with a dremel? They date the car a bit IMO. I might do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might do it. i used my drill with a 60 grade sanding disc then finish off by hand you have to be carefull with the sander though . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
