EVO VIII MR Full Carbon Wrap.

Thought I would share a few pics. I took the plunge & had a full carbon wrap done, I know it's not gonna be to everyone's taste but I think it's awesome....

Thanks for your comments guys.

A picture freezes it at that exact moment but seeing it in the flesh & different light conditions it seems to be ever changing. What you might see when it's parked somewhere, you won't see when it's parked somewhere else, it's weird but in a good way.

In the 3rd pic down for instance, it looks like there is a large crease just above the wheel but I didn't see it when I took the pic & I can't see it now, there is no crease, only in that pic.

The only thing so far that I have a gripe about is that it's a magnet for dust & fingerprints. It definitely looks best in sunlight I think, unless you prefer the matte look. Time will tell how long it lasts.

I paid £1750 to get it done professionally, using Hexis wrap.

Nice.Must have a nice weight reduction. Different. I like it. Honestly I would do the same to my OZ Rally 2004 that converting to an Evo 8, well look anyway. If I had a garage to keep my car in, I would do the same, especially for Carbon Fiber.
