Quick little project

I just finished touching up my b-pillars that we're all faded and gross and made them carbon fiberish. Let me know what you think.

Did you wrap the back one? I tried this with the Hayame sheet, and had issues when I opened the front door. The rubber would get caught on the CF of the back door.

First time I've seen that! Good job and good idea. I've seen this with chrome panels that stick on, but that looks best on Cadillac Devilles, Lincoln Towncars etc. I think you did a great job on that!

No, mines not. I was bored and found a roll of that stuff around. I figured if I liked it, I could spend some time with real carbon fiber. Whatever though, not a bad way to kill 2 hours.

Dude, you need some real CF ones like mine and Ugly's.. they are only like $40 on "da bay"




You get an A for cleanliness though!.... You do know that over time you are going to loose that CF pattern right?!?!?!?!

I have tried this, and the rubber strip on the front door catched the CF on the pilar of the back door. Did you guys encounter this problem, if you did, how did you fix it?
