3M ScotchPrint Exposed Arkym Lip PICS
Tested an idea i had today. I had some left over 3M Scotchprint glossy CF vinyl laying around, so i edged out the face of my Arkym lip to give it an exposed cf look.. It looks pretty good in person, and extremely subtle. Going to run it for awhile, if i dont like it, peel it right off like it was never there..

Yeah, i got the Euroteck CF diffuser, and feel I need something in the front to tie it in. Im not spending $1300 on Arkyms CF lip.

Nice subtle job Walter... props for being unique! I agree with you on the price of the CF lip... too rich for my wallet.

Walter, I thought you didn't have any CF parts on your car? Is the CF mod bug starting to bite you? ... hahaha! Come on, go all the way... wrap the whole lip & clear coat it... then, buy the CF sideskirts.

As everyone seems to love carbon fiber i'd like to ask you how you feel with CF vs wooden trim? Thinking of trying to get some bamboo or something for the new car. Nice to be unique

I would leave it "stock". Not a fan of CF vinyl.
