Yea I did it myself. Took about an hour with the heat gun and just stretching it. Came out pretty good especially since Ive never done anything with vinyl before. I know the material is really really easy to use though. Impossible to mess up. Just heat it up and go.

I like the fiber where the chrome used to be. I would have taken it one more step and fibered the burger, then painted the Nissan lettering a dark shade of gray. But it looks very stealthy.

lol everyone copies everyone around here, we (nico) come up with all the cool ideas. Think of it that way, us as a whole compared to everyone else, we are the different ones.

I would argue that all your mods aren't all your original ideas, and neither are mine. This community is so far spread out around the country that the chances of parking next to a car with all the exact mods as you have would be astronomically rare.


The spreading of ideas is cool! Not everyone is a right brained picasso of car mods.

haha, i know. i'm just putting out my feelings.

I thought about cf overlaying the grille but i went matteblack instead. In fact i thought about cf overlaying my rear diffuser and roof anddd it turned out I got plain black overlays instead. Now i've got a good example of what it would look like from your pics =)

I used one piece. It was 12x48. Bought it off ebay under 3m di-noc carbon fiber. I still have some pretty good size pieces leftover also. I just havent figured out if I want to try them on anything else or not. I was going to try to do the burger but it would have to be done with 2 seperate pieces as one peice wont wrap around all the curves. I may try to do some small interior mods and see how they come out.

I believe it was $20 with free shipping. Just search on ebay and it will pop right up. They also sell the same stuff at this website which shows alot of pics and a few how to videos for different things. I guess people wrap their refrigerators, tables, phones etc in this stuff. LOL not my thing but Im sure it would look good. http://www.carbonfiberfilm.com/
