3m Ni Doc carbon fiber vinyl
 

[FONT="Tahoma"] So i purchased a set of carbon fiber b pillar covers and when i installed them with the double sided tape they sat a little high on the oem cover , looked like crap...(

So i went on line and got some of the 3m Ni Doc carbon fiber vinyl material...

As i removed the oem b pillar cover it broke.....back online i went to order another one.......$64 ......

Today the parts came and i began my quick project of wrapping the new oem b pillar cover with the 3m Ni doc .....what a breeze.

and i will even go as far to say the 3m material looks much nicer and even may pass for a oem style look as its not wet looking

was wondering if anyone else was using this product ?[/FONT]

no, but where'd you get the oem b pillar from lol

wat

OP, very nice. I wanted to play around with those 3M vinyls for a long time now. Looks good :tup:

:bowrofl:

im serious i broke my right one lol :roflpuke2:

hey that looks good...might give this a try.

Looks good! Is that stuff weatherproof?

thanks
 

must you buy this online???

Keep your blow dryer ready!


That big font really isn't necessary

can you link up where to get the stuff? I'm too lazy for google right now. I have some poly parts that need a cover

Edit: maybe this stuff is the new clear bra ;) I couldn't find it because it is actually called Di-Noc and it can be bought from http://www.carbonfiberfilm.com

You can buy most OEM parts from courtesynissan.com

Looks good. Tempting to wrap the side mirrors and b pillars now.

Yeah just guessing that carbon fiber vinyl isn't an oem nissan part. Unless you are talking about the guy who needs a b-pillar

more 3m work done
 

had some free time over the weekend and did some more 3m carbon fiber vinyl work on my z here are some of the pics.....enjoy....ran out of vinyl..will post the drivers door switch panel when i get more ....

Hey k's. The company that replaced my windshield broke my b-pillars. Is there a trick to removing them safely?

go slow
 

here's what i did


open the door

take a wide and thin flat head screw driver insert it in the bottom middle of b pillar cover pry upwards slowly and winkle it with your hands....


there is a thread some where that has pics of what it looks like under the cover for guidance good luck

just a heads up
 

i have an extra b pillar cover already wrapped in 3m cf vinyl pm me i'll send it to ya if u want it its for the passenger side

Dude that's siick! I already have my door panel out for a speaker install. Can you post a DIY? Where do you get the 3m stuff and how much? How did you get all the crevices of the window switch and did you have to take apart the buttons themselves to get it to be that clean? Lemme know soon please!! Thanks.

is there a DIY on how to take apart the interior door panel? i want to wrap that same area.

yes there are a ton of diys on door panel removal. Do a search and you should get some good results.

it was simple
 

thing you will need.....

3m Ni-Doc carbon fiber vinyl.....got it on ebay...make sure its 3m.....

new razor knife.....

heat gun...only use the low setting....

flat head screwdriver thin...

blue painters tape.....


remove window switch plate.....

place blue painters tape on both side of seam where the two pieces come together on the door....(bottom of plate )

take screw driver and insert it between the two pieces of tape a slowly pry the plate out of door socket

un plug wire harness....make sure door is closed b4 u remove the wire harness...

clean entire switch plate.....
take the vinyl and wrap the plate....take your time....make sure everything is centered so the weave is strait when done....
trim out the shape of the plate leave yourself a little material so u can wrap around the edge....trim off excess....

take heat gun on low and shrink the edge and smooth out any area around the top and side....

take heat gun and and heat up the vinyl on top of switches trim out and the switch......

its that easy sorry no other pics for ya...

good luck

did you have to pop the switches out to get it on really good? i can't think of a way to do it without taking the power mirror switch out....

Good Stuff
 

Wow, I can't believe this stuff wasn't discovered earlier. Its great. I am going to wrap everything in it. Just be careful. It will fade in the sun. It only has a 3 year sun rating.

How in the hell does someone break a b pillar doing a windshield replacement? do you mean the a pillar cover?

I wonder if I can throw some clear coat on top of this?

I'm looking to do this very soon. I'll be wrapping my b-pillars, side mirrors, front fangs, rear valence, and some interior parts.

Want some fun?... Try wrapping the shift ring.
3 tries for me before I had it down finally.

im pretty sure u can :D

yes you can clear coat it

and whats the best technique to wrap shifter ring?

Start from the inside, and work evenly to the outside edges. Just don't stretch the material too much under heat, as it retains some memory, and the indent areas will separate the first hot day.

Do you have a picture of this?^ I'd really like to see what it looks like

Posted on my Mods album

Nice to see some people enjoying the CF Di-Noc :)

i used a heatgun, hot to the touch but not super hot. and it contours to the plastic very well. it looks
better in person, i couldnt get the lighting right due to the reflection. :p

^nice touch!

Thanks! :p I think I'm still going to get me the 3M stuff later on for the gauge hats. I want to wrap them with matte finish so it does not reflect sun too much.

Anyone think about wrapping their stock muffler can with this stuff? :D wats the max temp the sheet can handle?

i have some of that stuff lying around man... damn you kanchan.. now i have a project when im bored.. and i get bored fast LMAO :stirthepot: can i use a hair dryer also? my heat gun is MIA at the moment

Oh man this NiDoc stuff is like a wet dream. Kenchan- what is it you used on the steering wheel trim?
