DIY $15 Vinyl Carbon Fiber Fang + side Racing Stripes
 
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 10:56 AM

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

tonybui 10-11-2011 12:20 PM

OMG, take that **** off hahaha

Astrosfan 10-11-2011 12:49 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.

:iagree:, but I'm not feeling it either.:shakes head: 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.:p

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. :tup:
