Are you talking about the black part around the silver? wouldn't it get too hot in there?

Try it man, see how it holds up to the heat

Best way to find if it'll hold up against the heat is to try it.

I really don't think it will, it barely holds up in the car's interior on a hot day, lol IMO this is not going to look good after a couple of drives.

I know a place locally to me (as in 10 minutes) that will wrap your stuff in CF no matter what you bring them and its HIGH quality

Real Carbon?

yessirr... if you just wanted it wrapped Id do it for you

actually during my last drive, i put a strip of the vinyl on the radiator cover, engine cover, along the side of the battery cover to see how well the 3M could withstand heat.

all passed.

i did the roof last night. as with my G35C's rear valance, it turned out very nice but it just did not go with the rest of the car for me.

the biggest issue i had with the 3M on the roof was that it reminded me of my dad's (new at the time) 1982 old's ninetyeight with the faux leather top.

kinda like not a faux CF look, more like a faux canvas roadster look.

it took a good 3hrs to install, but ended up removing it this am. i'll post up picts later on.

i crumpled up the roll but going to heat it and re-use on my Fit's hood. should give it a nice consistant ricor look, right?

Hey kenchan do u still have ur template for the area around your head unit. I don't really like how it came out around the 3 circles. I'm sure I'm the only one that would notice it, but I'm kinda anal about my car & have to have everything perfect. Is there anyway you could scan & e-mail it to me? I really don't want to but I might try and redo it

kenchan

im going to be re-doing mine so that the HU opening wraps into the HU opening and to see if i can get the circles tighter to the perpendicular lip of the control dials. i'll scan one up for you when i finish. im going to try to get that done in the next day or two. mine also does not wrap completely up to the dial though... i'd have to remove the trim from the car if i was to do that.

weather permitting i want to work on ricing up my FitSport to the fullest tonight before the adhesive collects too much dust on the 3M i peeled off the roof this am from the Z.

Thanks bro, I don't think I'm going to take all my stuff apart again as it was too much of a pain. Do you have the metra faceplate kit? I noticed it's not quite the same as the stock faceplate.

NewYorkJon34

When you scan it I guess send it to my e-mail address: NewYorkJon34@Yahoo.com

kenchan

yah, ive already taken out my HU like 5x and know wat you mean. im not interested in removing it again either unless my HU needs to be replaced.

ouch, i have the factory bezel so my template wont work. the hvac circles are probably the same, no?
