i wanna buy a sheet or two of carbon fiber vinyl for my door panels and a few other areas and im stuck between these two styles..

the one that says flexible CF sheets of the Hyper black sheets..

which one would you guys choose on a NBP tl-s

 

If you are looking to do your interior, go to www.nycdashes.com and look at the interior kits that are made for the car. I got one from a similar company and it looks fantastic...I absolutely love the look. If you'd like pictures, let me know and I'll send you some.

 

I have used the HyperBlack 3 style on the exterior and it looks GREAT! Pretty realistic stuff but I will warn you it is prone to fade.

If you are going to do the interior though you want to do something that kinda matches your trim. The regular "flexible" kit looks more like that checkerboard pattern. It's hard to tell for sure so do what I do anytime I buy stuff like this. Most shops offer a sample kit. Use that to make your decision. It's always a smart thing to do because you know exactly what you are ordering and what to expect. You will be surprised how different it looks online in photos! You may actually pick something you hadn't originally considered because it goes better with what you have in mind. Take my advice, you won't regret it.

 

Rocky, do you think that stuff would be good for the engine compartment?

 

i did this to mine. it real CF, they are thin sheets you can cut with a sharp pair of scissors. the smaller corners and round edges i used a dremel and small file to shape.





its a little different than the fake stuff already there but it still looks good

 

Naw Steven, remember, it is vinyl. I am sure it has a low melting resistance.

For the engine covers you'd have to get the real stuff like some people out there have done.....it is expensive of course. Some have also opted to paint it with high temp paint. To me it's not worth the hassle and maintenance.

those look good jptl. I think that is the same stuff I used on my front grille, comes in an orange envelope? It's not a match for the interior fake stuff but it's close enough I guess.

 

Yea Rocky, you are right. I sure like the way the interior stuff looks though.

 

im looking to do the exterior with the hyper black and some interior mods with the regular flexible one, would it be possible to apply the vinyl to the spoiler instead of buying a whole CF spoiler? im sure it could be done it just would be hard to get it on and looking good

 

Guys, I'm considering doing my "B" Pillars in Carbon Fiber. I've seen black TL's with that done, but I would like to see a Silver TL with them done. Can anyone Photoshop this for me so I can see what it looks like before I invest the money to do this?

 

Looks good I've seen it but I don't have any pics sorry...
I'm doing the b pillers for my nbp soon

 

real carbon looks so much better !

 

True but real is expensive and I think the vinyl looks pretty easy to apply

 

The Carbon Fiber 2 looks pretty realistic

 

can someone post a pic of CF on their b pillars on a nbp tl-s please so I could get an idea of what it looks like.

 

Guys, supposedly the vinyl Carbon Fiber is supposed to be real but it is vinyl protected. There have been MANY threads about this, so I think it would be a good idea for us not to get that kind of discussion/argument started again. But the pre-cut Carbon Fiber is great and easy to apply.

 

That looks good! Where did you order that kit from??

 

I got mine through a fellow Acuraziner named SensualScorpion06. You could PM him about it because he can still help you get one. But another outlet to get it from is www.nycdashes.com. It's basically the same thing for sure.
