So I received my roll of blingtastic carbon fiber vinyl today. I had great plans and aspirations of wrapping my fenders and hood with this vinyl and avoiding any further paint work and body work on the race car. Whoa I sure failed. Apparently this carbon fiber vinyl is not like th other vinyl in that it can stretch and form itself to curves very easily. Thus it is VERY hard to place around curves like the edges and curves in the fender. It ended up looking “ok” but not nearly what I was expecting. Guess thats what happens with the $40 stuff instead of the $300. Oh well, it was worth the experiment.
So the new plan! I’m just going to have Mike at Sentry Auto Body paint the fenders red to match the rest of the car. After that, I’ll get KC from RallyDecals.com make me some sort of base design in carbon fiber vinyl. Not sure what exactly, but it won’t be too crazy. Maybe some carbon fiber flames or something like that. It will look black from far away, but really cool up close. Then go with silver stickers for the rest of the car.
