i m plannin to wrap the side mirror in carbon fiber~
anyone know if i can take apart the coloured part(the part that is same colour with the body) from the side mirror?

 

I'm planning on doing the same! I believe you can with ease but haven't looked into it yet

 

i will try it this weekend n let you know~

 

so i finally took apart the side view mirror~
here r some before and after pics ^^

before:


processing:


after:


will post more pics after both sides r done n back on the car

 

You did good job on that Jan!
Post up pics when your done!

 

i dont recommend taking apart the side view mirror because the clips r so easy to break when u pull it out, both sides of mine r broken now and the covers wont stick in ><

 

^lol
but looks good Jan! good job

 

I cant tell you how many I broke in Cali at the MOD event. we were selling the LED mirrors and I think 80% breakage rate lol

 

hey shuan, do you know if dealers sell just the cover?

 

ya you can buy it from the dealership, just dont know the part number. I think you should use your current ones. just use Silicon to seal it in. dont waste your perfect CF job on new ones.

P.S. sorry about Sunday, lets try to meet up again this week. I have been in talks with dealerships all weekend including today.

 

i m too lazy to make another thread so i will just post it here~
testing some cheap CF vinyl from ebay



compare the 3M one and ebay one, the 3M is much more user friendly, but in terms of look, their CF waves are pretty much the same
3M is a lot easier to take the bubbles out because they have those special patterns at the back
the ebay one cant withstand heat gun too long, it gets too soft after i heat it up for few times while i can play with the 3M one(same sheet) for an hour and it still stays the same quality!!

 

looks good!

 

Wow looking sweet..like the cf gauge pod. How much for you to do mine I've no skills in stickers or anything like this

 

Looking good. Good luck with the A-Pillars. Wrapped mine and had a pretty difficult time. When you get to the bottom portion, the surface area tightens at one end and stretches out at the other end (inside/outside).
Is it difficult to remove the crown molding for the dash? I was debating buying a CF cover, but I still have some Di-Noc left. Maybe enough to wrap that piece.
