Does anyone have carbon fiber emblems on the back of their TL? I think I saw someone with it on the grille emblem but not the back. I tried finding some premade ones but i couldnt find any. If anyone does, can you let me know where you got them? Also pics would be nice as well. Thanks.

Hmm would be pretty cool if they do have some, but i dont think there is though!

Yeah im surprised ive seen bmw's all over down here with them and they look nice. I think the the "A" and "TL" would look nice if you did "Acura" also it would be to much IMO. I took off the acura letters off of mine so it doesnt matter for me though.

My front grill is carbon fiber, im gonna wrap the rear emblem soon ill post pics when I do

dlphnsjk

yea that would be awsome thanks

Couldn't you essentially wrap one with the di-noc stuff?

dlphnsjk

that could work. the A symbol would be tough probably. Or maybe not i dont know i havent used that stuff yet.

crestwood1001 how long did it take you to wrap that grill and what did you use.

di-noc is the best, I'ma be wrapping up my engine coover with it. Inspired by the IS-F engine cover, carbon fibor engine covers look SICK! but I'll probably have to see what the emblem would look like with it.

shadowkahn

isn't di-noc vinyl? Wouldn't vinyl be a problem sitting on top of a hot engine?

dlphnsjk

is that stuff easy to apply ?

Yeah sort of. Someone did wrap them in my Di-Noc thread and posted pics I think. They just looked really really bulky.

I have a CF grille. Di-Noc and about an hour. Use heat to conform it and a razor blade to cut it.

Yes and no. Depends on the surface. It's very selective about what it does and doesn't like to stick to.

any one wrap up the "S" on their type S emblems with carbon fiber Vinyl ? that would sound nice to me. i dont have any to do it my self but just putting out a sugguestion for those that would

dlphnsjk

^^ that would be cool but really hard to do probly

I have carbon fiber A symbol in front of my ac ill post some pic soon, i had one in the back also but someone stole it.

Crestwood1001

It took me about 45 mins to do the grill, the thing that makes it easy it you just cut a big piece, cover the whole thing, heat up up and when its hot its insanely stretchy, you just push it into the grooves and all the tight places while its hot and let it cool down. While its cooling you just make cuts where you will be removing it anyway to relieve pressure and it works great. Ill post pics in here of it tomorrow for you guys

ionojimbo

where do you guys purchase the vinyl from?

dlphnsjk

wow that sucks that someone stole it. cant wait for the A symbol pics .

Crestwood1001

Ebay

Here ya go, Looks pretty rough in these pics but thats just cause I was right in front of it with flash. What your standing there looking at it it looks perfect, the seam on the left is under the center bar so you cant see it at all.

Crestwood1001

Not perfect but it gives you an idea..... ill be re-wrapping it when I get more DI-NOC but this is kinda a proof of concept lol.

just ordered the 8 sq ft. roll off of carbonfibergear.com. Pretty good deal and free shipping.

Bayam0n

I didnt really think of that can anyone answer this? I'm hoping that the di-noc will have a very very very HIGH melting point, the the di-noc will not be in contact with any metal (I will only wrap up the top of the cover) so I doubt it will melt. I will be wrapping my cover up today, so if no one can answer, then I will have to be the test dummy.

dlphnsjk

^^ well i've never used it but from the reading ive done on this forum it sounds like with heat it stretches so that might have some kinda effect with it. Maybe it wont stick on or something.

I dig it. I might be partial, but I like it better with just the cross bar done.
