i had a extra mirror housing and some extra 3M DiNoc CF Vinyl and decided to cover it, it isn't as neat as i would want it to be , but if i do decide to do it , ill do a better job, should i cover the whole housing or just do half

what do you guys think?

 

Meh. Just spray paint it

 

heres some better pics

 

the car is already black, what color you thinking i should spray it?

 

any also its really hard to do, , took me over an hr with a heat gun , the shape of the mirror is really hard to cover with out any bumps , but then i after i was done i realized the part that took the most time to get perfect was the part that would show at all -.-

 

It's different... but the shade of the Di-Noc throws off the look of it.
If it was more CF-like then I think it's golden.

 

did you see the 2nd set of pics?

 

Looks pretty good and would probably be lots easier on 04-06 mirrors without the signal.

What do you mean about doing only half?

Aside from the fact that it does look pretty good, it is a bit ricey IMHO.

 

IMO it looks really good

 

Whole thing, but you should consider doing that one over. The inside seam looks awful. Sorry.

 

So far so good . I think you should take it outside or try to put it in then take the pic again. The 3M CF look really good to me but I worry that it will have problem with color in direct sun light.

 

What color are you thinking about making the turn signal lense? I think it'll come out pretty sweet when all those bumps are taken care of. I think half looks good enough but I think it'll be easier to decide after seeing it on the car haha

looks good!

 

That doesn't look bad at all!

 

Nice job. I'd like to see it installed once u get some pics.

 

^ u mean some pics after install? haha

 

I am not feeling that at all. Looks RICE to me. But I am not a fan of CF look at all

 

i use the JDM yellow spray tint on the lense , it looks good

 

that part wont show once the lense goes over, so its ok

 

the mirrors are in two parts, i only covered the front half and left the other half NBP , it looks better that way

 

i think ill give it a try, i need to order more film, give me a couple weeks and ill have pics up

if it looks bad all i have to do is peel it off , so no harm in trying it out

 

Also thinking of covering the type-S spoiler in it too and front grill to complete the look

 

looks cheap, are you trying to convert your TL into a Civic

 

^ Yes..That..Haha, I can't believe I wrote that. It's been a long day.

 

Looks good but agree with other as pics on car please. Multi-quote is a wonderful thing

 

^lol how do you do that?

 

I wasn't aware Civics had carbon fiber mirrors

 

CF DOES NOT EQUAL Civic

 

+1, whats he talking about ?

 

Yeah i guess i like the shine of a clear coat, not a big fan of the matte carbon fiber look.

It looks pretty good on the keyboard, just not sure if it would stick out like a sore thumb on your car.

 

Looks good.

 

It looks pretty nice I think. I'm just not sure how it'd clash with the gloss/NBP of your car. If you sprayed a layer of clear (which you can do) over the Di-Noc, you'd probably love the results.

 

^ i never herd of anyone doing it ,so i guess ill do a test on a piece of scrap

ill post of pics when i'm done

 

Metrorestyling sells a CF vinyl that is impregnated with clearcoat, product M500 and M600. These are specifically intended for outdoor automotive applications.

My order should be in today or tomorrow, I'll post up how it looks once it's in.

 

^hey can you pm where i can buy some?

EDIT

Nvm, i found it, but i wont buy it , until i see your pics

 

Didn't come today, should be here tomorrow. Looks like I'm going to be working on chair rail moulding instead of the TL tonight.

 

^I'm anxious to see the CF as well. Looking for a new look in my interior. The matte Di-Noc is cool but I want some gloss I think.

Chair rail molding... I'm applying a coat of wax to my car tonight in my freezing cold garage if it makes you feel better. I need to get it done before snow falls. Bleh.

 

Precisely why I decided to go with their products.

 

Dave, I applaud your work-that has to be very difficult on those mirrors. The multi-quote button is in the lower right hand side of each posting. The middle button of the 3 is the one to use.
