3m dinoc carbon fiber wrap. Whose used it? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

tecatematt · 02-19-2012, 08:11 PM

I just bought some to try on the trim parts of the interior of the truck Was wondering who has used it and did they like it?

yokotas13 · 02-19-2012, 08:14 PM

ricers use it

tecatematt · 02-19-2012, 08:22 PM

lol valid point, but the trim on my little yota pickup i'm stancing looks like dog shit and figure be different then the plain black

yokotas13 · 02-19-2012, 08:46 PM

you said "stance" and "yota"

noone cares about you 100% now

tecatematt · 02-19-2012, 08:57 PM

^ cool story bro. I don't see the issue dude? i'm ust asking some simple opinions does it look like shit or not? I'm not asking how much HP I can get out of my 4 banger? Or what simple mods I can do too "go fast" <--- dbag questions. So be easy dude if it look likes shit then simply say "it looks like ass"

ZilviaKid · 02-20-2012, 12:22 AM

ive used it

its pretty great

Pinggg · 02-20-2012, 12:40 AM

Did my shifter trim, came up pretty good, i like it.

Fred Allen Burge · 02-20-2012, 07:38 AM

I was looking at it seriously last week, will probably try to incorporate it into my s13 project some how.

Pro ViZIon · 02-20-2012, 09:03 AM

That actually looks really nice. Did you wrap your dash in leather?

el ocho · 02-20-2012, 10:27 AM

ye my radio trim was in bad shape so i wrapped it as well. Pretty nice stuff to work with.

VROOOM · 02-20-2012, 11:50 AM

I used it to cover up the horrible fake carbon fiber looking interior bits on my Evo X. works great and looks pretty good too.

Edwin562 · 02-20-2012, 11:58 AM

I recently wrapped my radio trim... its a new look and i like it.. Will post pics later.

Darren · 02-20-2012, 12:16 PM

That stuff actually looks pretty good when applied properly ... kind of surprised...

How much of a learning curve is it, or is it just like wrapping with vinyl / putting on stickers?

Edwin562 · 02-20-2012, 12:23 PM

Patients is key, take your time and use a blow dryer to warm up the vinyl and stretch it or mold around curves and corners...

tecatematt · 02-20-2012, 01:31 PM

Thanks for the input and pics guys! Keep it coming haha. Do you think a heat gun will work just as well as a blow dryer?

dsastr_clan · 02-20-2012, 01:52 PM

i use a heating gun, works good just do it on the lowest setting

Edwin562 · 02-20-2012, 01:54 PM

here is a quick pic of my wrapped center..

Fred Allen Burge · 02-20-2012, 02:03 PM

I may wrap my whole dang dash and center console (leaving trim pieces black), it's mostly brown now so anything would be better.

-Here's a old picture of when i got it done, i gotta find some time and take some recent picture of how my interior looks now.

-Most recent one i have (it's a little dirty, car been sitting since i built the motor)

tecatematt · 02-20-2012, 03:09 PM

Pinggg bro that looks pretty legit bro.

Lol my daily has that damn brown too. you could always wrap the dash with the all black vinyl wrap and accent the trim with the carbon fiber wrap dude. Either way it'll look legit bro.

tecatematt · 02-20-2012, 03:19 PM

Did you all do any prep work at all? I was thinking of taking a lite grit sand paper to just roughen the surface up little to get a better stick. THen I might finsh it up with a satin clear so it keeps that flat look but provides alittle more protection. Prolly use a test strip to see how it looks.

tecatematt · 02-20-2012, 10:37 PM

This is the actual truck I plan on wraping the interior pieces. Just going to drop it a little to tuck the rims a little better, don't want to have a extreme stance since i'll be using it to pick motors up in and throw my bike in the back when i go riding (gas saver i can finally give my suburban a break haha.)

*exitspeed* · 02-22-2012, 11:46 AM

Shit would look better then the tweed on the 240 interior. Glove box and doors.

i like the tweed

Pro ViZIon · 02-22-2012, 12:45 PM

Pinggg, your interior looks real nice. I like how you used only necessary gauges. Real clean. And they match the steering wheel too.
