Vinyl wrapped the rear trunk on this Subaru with the 3M Di-Noc carbon fiber material. Took a before picture of the trunk with the holes and the after once the trunk was wrapped. Note, it may or may not show up in the pictures, but there will still be slight impressions of the holes where the vinyl is covering over.

Hopefully these pictures will answer many people's questions of how well vinyl covers holes that I've been asked.

I've had people ask if I can vinyl wrap hard tops and just how flexible my vinyl is...

Let me know if this answers your questions, and if you have any others

According to my weather chart, it looks like it's going to be raining all week, until Friday, so maybe we can schedule it for then

I'll get the pictures of your GTR up in the next day or so.

Let me know what time you'd like to do it friday, if you do decide to.

Vinyl wrapped the hood of this Acura RSX in the 3M di-noc carbon fiber vinyl. Don't mind the dusty marks/shadows. Forgot to clean it off before taking the pictures.

Just to be clear, since I know I'll have some people ask me if I can wrap their hoods. The material is not wide enough to wrap/do most hoods, except on smaller cars, such as this RSX. If you're interested in getting your hood wrap, measure your hood beforehand and give me the measurements of your car, so that way I can determine if it'd be possible or not.

Vinyl roof wrapped this R35 GTR's roof with some 3M Di-Noc carbon fiber vinyl, and also did the center of his rear spoiler.

Let me know what you guys think.

Don - do you sell pre-cut pieces for the w212 (2010 E63)? I'm interested in getting pieces to tint my taillights and possibly headlights and fogs (depending on price). Ideally, I want the taillights to be tinted with the part for the reverse lights cut out.

Let me know...

I do not sell pre cuts, because it's too hard to get the 3D effect of the tail lights sometimes, and usually pre cuts end up being slightly too undersized and doesn't fully cover/wrap the tails.

I can sell you straight sheets and you trim it out to fit your tails.

Let me know.

would I trim by using an exacto-knife or something similar? How would I prevent slicing the actual tail light on install? I'm definitely not a pro so I don't want to damage anything.

Yep, just use the tail light as a guide around the sides/edges.

Vinyl wrapped the roof of this BMW E92 M3 in the carbon fiber 3M di-noc material.

Just to avoid any confusion, his antenna was painted matte black, not wrapped. Also, it was only placed on there temporarily for pictures, hence why you can see a gap between the antenna cover and roof in some of the pictures.

Let me know what you guys think.

What finish?

Here's pictures of a white BMW E90 3 series that I vinyl wrapped the roof with in gloss black. He also had black wheels, so it'll give those who are curious how the black roof works with black wheels.

Here are pictures of the fogs that I vinyl wrapped/tinted in a yellow film.

Let me know if any of you would be interested in getting this done on your cars.

Smoked/tinted the tails on this new Mercedes E class. Trimmed out the reverse/turn signal portions as well for him.

Let me know what you guys think.

Don I have a pair of seatbacks I would need you to do. I bought the material and tried it myself but was not successful (complex curved shapes and a first timer are not a good combo). When are you going to do an east coast trip...if so I am in...I still have some material saved and if you let me know ahead of time I can order more material and have it here. I hopw you consider an east coast trip...I know many of us in DC/MD/VA would love to get some parts done in di-noc

thanks bud
