DIY $15 Vinyl Carbon Fiber Fang + side Racing Stripes

cycy89 · 10-08-2011, 10:47 AM

So I went to Antozone to get some tools and saw some Vinyl CF wrap and Mustang racing stripes. They are pretty cheap so I decided to give it a try. the CF wrap is not long enough so I had to do it in separate pieces. it looks nice from far away and at night(because the detail really sucks). And I modified the Mustang racing stripe. I didn't have a very good cutting tool so the edges are not very straight. I mean, it only costed $15 (compare to $200 at a shop?? that's pretty good). And it was my very first time doing this. Next time will be better. =)

IMO take off the CF (the imperfections would kill me) but the stripe is kinda cool. Nice work.

Looks really bad lol.

cycy89 · 10-11-2011, 11:56 AM

Haha.. thanks guys. That was just an experiment. I'll get more high quality CF wrap and try it again some time.

OMG, take that **** off hahaha

Astrosfan · 10-11-2011, 01:49 PM

please take that off! please....please....please!!!...

Also, might want to consider getting rid of your license plate on the windsheild of you care for your passangers. I used to do that, got in a wreck and the plate would have decapitatied whoever was riding shotgun. just a suggestion.

, but I'm not feeling it either.

Nice effort trying something out though. Someone has to be the first to see of something will work. I would try the fang again with some 3M DiNoc and lose the stripe, the BS looks great in its naked form.

Also,as Astrosfan said on the license plate, get it out of the car. In an accident it can cause serious bodily damage. I used the no-holes bracket from gominigo.com, and love it.
