Hey guys I just ordered a Cf Rear Roof Spoiler from ebay. And would like a few more cf accents now. What do you think about CF Mustache in the front. How would I accoomplish this? Vinyl overlay? Any other suggestions. I still have the stock grill as of right now. Thanks

vinyl would be the way to go for that.

Have white 2008 3.5 coupe. Looked into vinyl and CF overlay for mustache and decided to paint it white to match car. In the shop now with new Stillen front lip. Was fearful the vinyl could not smoothly cover the bends and curves. Durability was another concern. At least I can touch up the paint and it won't look too bad. Am also painting the grille flat black with Duplicolor clear over that. Duplicolor people say it can be polished to a gloss finish after 28 days. Emblem is being sprayed black pearl this weekend.

Sounds good. I only payed $3 for the cf vinyl. Thought it was worth a shot. If not I'll paint it a gloss black. If i have to paint it any recommendations for the type of spray paint?

If you're going CF...Do it right and do it with REAL CF... If you don't know how to do it, send the pieces to me and I'll do 'em for you...obviously not for free but I'm not going to rape you on the price either...

I did a carbon fiber wrap on my grille....but its a 2010 so more chrome to cover.
i paid like 15 for the vinyl and wrapped it myself. i think it came out good for my first time, just took a while.
