To do.. or Not to do...
So I have this current infatuation with the dry CF look.. Because of this, i bought a seibon TSI matte finish hood. Now, this is my dilemma: Should I dry cf vinyl wrap the roof and the trunk? Or do you guys think it'll be too much? give me your opinions!
This is the site that got me hooked

this is my car currently without the hood (should be getting it next week)

I hope you know that is a Vinyl wrap and not CF,,, people throw the term 'dry carbon fiber' around way too loosely, it doesnt really reffer to the material so much as it does the proccess which cannot be just wrapped over any surface,,,

of course i know that. that's why i said dry CF "look".. I don't have the money to replace my roof with actual Dry CF, and that would be ridiculous. It's a wrap, and It can always be removed, that's why i'm leaning towards it.
if i had the money for an actual dry cf.. it would be fantastic, but i'm not a baller

I think it would great for wrapping interior pieces, the only thing Id be a stickler about if I were putting it on the outside would be how closely it matches the real parts(ie your hood)

i agree with you.. i was worried about that as well, but i can always remove it if i don't like it and then just reuse the vinyl on my interior pieces and stuff. Thanks for your input!

Ahhhh sweet..ll
good point
i dont think its really pretend more like a certain style... i mean if he told people he had a CF roof.... then i would say no...
but to have the same style for a fraction of the cost... y not...
most of us buy replica parts anyway.....we get bumpers, lights, hoods etc. from other companys... no one really buys Re-amemiya body kits straight from Re.... i mean if u had the money you would...
