CF wrap my 2016 ILX
 
I decided to wrap everything on my ILX. I use Vvivid vinyl for cheaper price. They look great imo.
The mirrors are gloss black btw.

Looking sweet! This makes me consider wrapping my mdx front grille, though I doubt it would work on the unever surface.

But looking at these pics, I can only think of one thing! Why is Acura still using that bulky heated seat switch?

The heated seat switch has its benefits, you can leave it in the on position all the time, this will come in handy for using remote start... Also, for someone running around town, jumping in and out, it's one less step to go through...

I like that it doesn't reset to off every time the ignition is turned off...

Also, I just noticed the alcantara seats... And the yellow fogs look amazing too!!!

Looks good. I was actually looking at some wrap from ebay this weekend cause I was thinking about the front grill and possibly the interior the way you did. Was it a long process? I may order some today and see if I make it a weekend project this upcoming weekend.

It's a long process. I spent a couple of weekemds on them. At first I went for cheap CF wrap and got bubbles. Vvivid wraps have REAL air release channels on the backing side. It helps elimitate bubbles.

There are plenty of designs that look 100X better and also stay on even when you turn the car back on. There is a benefit to having it turn off though, my MDX has heated rear seats. I hate when people leave heated seats on in the back when they get out!

I like some spots. Couldn't go with overlays myself but doesn't look bad it doesnt look bad and it's not my car so cant really hate on it.

You should look into the OE kit with the CF look alike parts too.

I like it simple, I guess that's just what it is...

I really like how you did your spoiler.

jrc0520 01-02-2017 08:22 PM

I think the interior pieces look great!I just wrapped my grill and window side pillars this weekend so I have some vinyl left over. Did you have to remove the trim pieces? Or just apply the vinyl right on?

rondog 02-04-2017 06:35 PM

That is definetly an improvement.

Nurseman74 04-26-2017 05:17 PM

Can you send me a link on how to do that for my aspec spoiler? I have white 2016 ilx with aspect and think black carbon fiber spoilers look great on white cars!

Billy Sastard 03-26-2023 11:28 AM

I know this is a really old thread but did you have to remove the whole from bumper to wrap the grille on the ILX? Looks good. I have a 2017 ILX Tech and plan to wrap the grille and some of the dash.
