Going to do some cf wrapping as I'm broke and the maintenance is killing me but I'd like a change. Get the cf cheap and going to do it with a buddy so cost is not an issue.
That's how my car looks now.
I'm thinking of wrapping either all of or a combination of:
Hood (maybe just the v?)
Roof
Mirrors
Spoiler
Also will get the nextmod spoiler sometime this summer.
Would like to know what you guys think looks best.
Car needs a wash too, heh.

Too much fake CF vinyl looks bad...really bad.

why?
Because I think as is, my car looks plain.
This costs me nothing except for a couple hours of my time and I'd like a change for summer. I see you've joined the HORSEPOWER OR **** YOU club

That's why I'm asking. I was also considering matte black.

Unless it's gloss CF.
Wrap your trunk instead. I wanna see that ;)

Personally, I wouldn't do the hood. Fake CF hood is more faux-pas than the rest.

I think the roof would look okay.. I'm not sure how it would like with both the mirrors and spoiler wrapped as well. I think it'd be too much. But hey.. If you like it, go for it. Post pics though so we can see the end result. Maybe you'll change some people's minds about all the CF wrap?

Good luck wrapping your mirror.... CF will look terrible if you try to stretch it over such a complex curve.

If he wraps the mirror how will he be able to see? I don't think he'll wrap the mirror.

Thanks for the heads up but my buddy who I'm planning on doing it with did his and they came out flawless. Have some faith :)

Dude. **** the hood. **** the mirror covers. Just do the roof and that's it. The carbon fiber pos paper peeled off my hood and then I bought a real pos carbon fiber hood. Just my two cents worth.

My opinion, a full carbon fiber car only looks good on slightly faster cars like..

no, but I'm saying in general vinyl or not I doubt I'd personally like it.

CF and matte generally look good on cars which make up for it with cleaner lines. The boat MS3 hatch does not do this which is why too much CF/matte/dull color would look terrible.
I realize all this and am probably going to go with what Derick said.

I agree with Ami.
I wrapped the roof of my car last fall, which I thought looked really good.
So I figured what the heck and went ahead and wrapped the hood as well...... Bad idea. Looks horrible and ghetto.

Would you wrap the wheels? CF wheels are cool right?

I like the car as is personally but my car is the same kind of 'plain'.
What I WOULD consider and might do for my car is the rear valence in the gloss cf wrap. However since you can buy the real CF part I might lean towards that in your case.

If they are real.
