Who can cf wrap my OEM rear valence?
There are no aftermarket rear diffusers for the W211 E55 wagon. So I ordered an extra OEM rear valence. Who can I send it to for CF wrapping?
Thx ahead for any response.

I used them for my IS-F and was very happy with the price, the quality and turn around time.

Same here. It's been more than a year and still looks great. But I also don't drive the car too much.
Took a few hours to do since I sanded down the OEM piece to make it smoother for the 3M material to adhere to. Then I added some super glue to the edges to make sure then didn't curl away from the edges over time.
I think buying a piece large enough was just a little over $100. And it was only this much because they don't sell the material wide enough so I had to buy a piece long enough, if you know what I mean. I had a lot of the material left over so i just wrapped the hood of my Honda Fit.

Wow, I'm doing the same thing right now to my oem rear valance. I'm glad to T-Bone end result.
And I like the idea to add the extra glue around the edges.
Before I went this route I tried the aftermarket one and I did NOT like the fit.
I got the CF wrap from Don Nguyen - Good price and I got enough to do two of them in the event I screw up the first time.
It looks like you have a good opportunity to with Shardul also.
Good Luck

Let me know what they say, I might send mine too. I like the look of real carbon with the resin gloss finish. The Dinoc is not bad, but for dry carbon though.
