Fake 2008 Lancer Carbon Fiber front bumber thing

What do you think?







I need to re-do because there are a couple of creases in the film. But it will peel off real easy without hurting the paint whenever I want to do it again.

Looks good to me, although it would really pop if you had some kind of Carbon Fiber lip to go with it. Oh and blacked out headlights...haha

I'm usually against this sort of thing, but it looks really good.

I just used a razor blade to slit a tiny little hole in the bubble and smoothed it out. This wasnt really something I was expecting to look this good so I made sure the material I used could easily be removed. If I can find the package I'll take a pic of it so you guys know what it is. If it ever fades or whatever, I can just peel it off. I tested the stuff in my trunk overnight to see if it could easily be removed and it came off flawlessly. This definitely isnt something that will mess up your paint if you change your mind on it.

EDIT: I can't find the package but I will try to describe the material I used. I wasnt really a film like window tint would be. Window tint is somewhat rigid and doesnt take bends and creases well. It was more like a really thin sticker. The back of it was chrome colored. The best way I could describe it is if you've ever bought one of those cheap *** stickers out of one of those kids vending machines that sell gumballs and bouny *****. It was very thin and maliable.
