3M CF/DiNoc-wrapped illuminated kick plates

kenchan

no, im a pretty lazy guy so i just cut to shape and placed it on there.

i think the reverse is a nice contrast but might have a hard time adhering to the textured surface unless you take the piece off and wrap it around. id' also use adhesion promotor as well.

hahaha!~ im a musician so i have very fine motor skills too.

on the bits i DiNoc'ed i did not use adhesion promotor. DiNoc sticks very well to smooth surfaces but has a harder time on textured surfaces. if im doing the black part of the kick plates i would use adhesion promotor and wrap it to the back of the piece.

Ah I see... yes, might have to wrap it to do the black textured plastic. Are those kick plates easy to remove?

BTW, my 3M guy told me to explain to everyone that the stuff he is using is NEW from 3M. DiNoc is the OLD stuff. This new stuff he used on my rear valence (and will use on other stuff) is called ScotchPrint 1080. It's supposed to be easier to work with, and really made for automotive, as opposed to DiNoc. Also, the texture is better.

I really need to take a pic (DSLR) of the rear valence he did. My installer rocks. I'll do it tonight after I detail my car.

im not sure if they are easy to remove or not cause my illuminated ones came on the car when i bought it. check out the service manual how it's mounted.... probably would just take some tugging and pulls out.

oh? scotchprint 1800, huh? ok, let me check with my source as well...

yes, please post picts of valance!

Scotprint 1080 (not 1800)... here's the results after a quick google

3M? Scotchprint(R) Wrap Film Series 1080

also about the kickplates, I thought I saw a DIY on this forum about installing the kickplates... so maybe I can just reverse that.

And yes pics! I'm embarassed to take pics of my dusty car
