DIY $15 Vinyl Carbon Fiber Fang + side Racing Stripes

Cmike2780 · 10-25-2011, 12:47 PM

ummmm...... good try, but it's kind of ghetto.

Just black out the fang with black paint, or even Plasti-Dip if you don't want something permanent. Evo-R CF cover is another option. Di-Noc has a better texture, but the results won't be that much better.

Also, racing stripes

.... seriously, what are you a 12 year old? (J/K)

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.

I'm ordering more 3M or 1080 CF vinyl and trying it again. I just want to do something unique because I'm tired of seeing same silver Z's on the street.. lol
Usually I don't carry passengers so the license isn't a big concern for me.

I was thinking of something to say that would remain constructive... All I could muster was:

I like the emblem if it covered the whole thing. I don't like the stripes but that was pretty creative! If those 2 pieces of wrap on the front weren't different shades that would have looked perfect, but for $15 at least you got to do a test wrap on the them. They're gonna turn out perfect once you get the new material.

Not to sound like a parent or anything

, but it is a sharp projectile to anyone in the vehicle. I've just been told this by many people.:tip hat:

And I finally DiNoc'd a few things last week, and the stuff is awesome! And quite forgiving and easy to use. Good luck

I like the stripe concept, but in th photo it looks a little high near the door handle - is it straight seen from the side?

The 3M DiNoc is great stuff, search for the threads on here.

Yes it is straight. I took the CF wrap off because it looked kinda bad. I'm getting DiNoc soon.
