I just got back from the shop. I was getting tired of looking at the bland, black mirrors and black spoiler on my Edition 1 GTS

Anyway, take a look. I think you will appreciate the improvements done to the mirrors and spoiler. The new look compliments the stock carbon fiber roof. No more boring, black looking spoiler and mirrors.

Vic, on this forum, gave me the idea for improving the overall look of the spoiler. Thanks Vic.

Your comments are welcome

 

John that's a great move!!!! Ill be doing that shortly.


Edit: John those side mirrors looked rather difficult to wrap... is that what your vendor stated as well?

 

Thanks Vic,

No, the installer had no problems doing the mirrors. They came out flawlessly. The new material when warmed with a heating gun, can be manipulated into any shape required. The installer was a perfectionist! He really took his time.

Of course, the spoiler was done very quickly. The mirrors took about three times as long to complete. Thanks again for the GTR spoiler pic that you sent me. We just made the outline boarders smaller. With the black spoiler, it looks great.

The whole job was done in three hrs, with some bull****ing along the way.

The total cost was $250 including materials. I thought it was a good price.

Appreciate it.

Brilliant.
I should wrap the entire car in this.

Looks very nice. Does the weave match the top? Hard to tell from the pics.

 

Patric,

It's very close. The big difference is that the weave on the mirrors and spoiler match exactly, however, the roof has a gloss finish whereas the mirrors and spoiler are done in matte finish. I think the mirrors and spoiler in a gloss finish might be too much gloss. And the installer thought the gloss would be more difficult to install because of the extra thickness of the material.

Overall, the look really compliments the car and gets rid of that bland gloss black paint. If you can find an installer that would do the gloss finish, it should be a very close match. The matte finish actually looks more like Carbon Fiber than the real Carbon Fiber on the roof.

 

I think there is also enough line of sight separation between the roof, mirrors, and wing to not create a "matching" issue.

I text my guy and should have this done next week (if there is no rain out here LOL)

 

Vic, you're absolutely right on the sight separation between the roof, the mirror, and the spoiler. I think you will be very happy with the final results. Be sure and post some pics.

 

What brand is the carbon wrap? Is it 3d, 4d, or 5d? Rated for exterior use?

 

I just had it done. I'm not sure what brand. The material looked great and has been easy to maintain and still looks as good as it did when installed over a year ago.


Any good wrap shop should be able to guide you to the proper material.

I've had numerous compliments and most think it's real carbon fiber.

 

How easily is this done on the interior center console and center vent unit surround (over the matte black plastic)..to replicate the factory CF option?

 

I don't really know. I haven't had it done. I would guess that a good installer would be able to do it. I think it would look very cool and get rid of all the fingers prints and dust. Let me know if you succeed and send pics.
