Thumbs up Carbon Fiber Galore!

What's up guys ... and girls!!

Man, norcal peeps must have been in hybernation or something. This section of the forum has been pretty slow lately...

Anyway, would anyone be interested in this service?

3M CF wrap, this is not those cheap printed wrap you can get at auto stores. The 3M material is actually textured and have a look of dry carbon. This is the best looking CF altenative announced not too long ago at SEMA.



More pics:
Nissan 350Z
BMW 3 Series

FYI: For those with 04 and up Z and car with rubberized plastic interior, the rubber coating needs to be stripped first. This material will not stick properly on rubber and leather.

Hm... my interior is fading, but I'm not a fan of the carbon fiber look for looks sake. Can the 3M material be printed in a more subtle color? Black, white, or other more factory-styled colors?

I could be wrong but I think its only in that color. Do it, white is one of the best colors for CF, do your hood roof and trunk. This stuff inside will look better than a faded interior, just don't get carried away with it.

Other colors are available on the CF weave pattern, the problem is that no dealers carry them yet. Non-CF black and white in matte or glossy are easily available, other colors are available as well but getting the perfect match for you car color is a bit tricky. I am yet to order their sample sheets.

For interior wrap, labor will be $10/sqf
For exterior wrap labor will be $8/sqf
3M CF Material is $10/sqf or $30 every 1'x4' or $28 every 1'x4' of 5'x4'and up (I don't have mark up on the material cost)
Non-CF colored material vary in price and will need to pre-ordered.

So for the center console and door switch panels it will require a 2'x4' of material.


Anyway, I'm thinking of getting a business liscense for my detailing business to be ready by spring and also looking to expand my services. Specifically window tinting, vinyl wrap and invisible bra (clear bra). I've been going back and forth to my friend's custom shop in Vegas learning and training. It will still be a home based business so expect competitive pricing.

Ok, well I would be interested in a textured white, black or gray non-cf weave material to overlay my aging scratched up interior. Let me know if you have some samples I could look at, thanks.
