I just got some 3M carbon fibre vinyl wraps from USA (you can actually feel the weaves), so I decided to have a go wraping my door pillars.

I'm going to wrap some of my interior (dash surrounds, plastics on doors) and maybe exterior (spoiler stands).

If anyone needs things wrapped, I could supply and wrap it at a cost :P

Here's some pics:

Looks excellent! Great work! :happy:

How easy is it to take off the door pillars? Do they just pull off or are they bolted from behind or something?

Cheers. :P

If you haven't taken off before, it might take a bit more force, but pretty much just open your door, then start from the bottom, start to pull it back slowly.

You should hear 3 clicks, because of 3 plastic bolts thingys, after that, just wiggle it left to right, then it should come out :)

hey just a quick question,

is its ver durable? and can it stand heat sun damage? and water damage?

cause i was thinking of buying somw this stuff

BTW it looks very good i wanna do this to my liner

This is one of the best vinyl wrap in the market at the moment, it's made for indoor and outdoor. indoor it should last forever while outdoor maybe 8-9years of sun and rain.

oh wow that stuff looks awesome, got a price on it?

Price for this can vary, range from $80-110 for 1.2m by 0.6m. It is very expensive but its worth it.

I got a day off today, so I decided to do more of my car, and I picked the cup holder lid.

As soon as I finished, I feel addicted to doing more LOL, I'm planning to do my whole centre console, climate control and my triple guage cover :down:

If anyone wants it done in Vic, I'm willing to do a piece for $20-40 (depends on size of part).

oh god, wets pants...

im going to hit up our vinyl suppliers at work, i know someone who stocks this, hopefully i can get it cheaper cos as you said it is pretty expensive, do you have a heat gun?

btw if this is the 3M DI-NOC stuff, i've found that it is rated at 3-4 years ourdoor and 12 years indoor

Yeah I have a heat gun and it is the DI NOC stuff, but last time I read about it was like 8-9 years outdoor.

Heres a spec sheet for ya dude,

http://multimedia.3m.com/mws/mediawebserve...s6EVs6E666666--

4 years outdoors, 3 years in desert conditions, and 12 years indoors, all by US standards of course

oh no doubt, looks awesome, im definatly gonna look into getting some

Yeah, the finish looks better in real life than in photos, I'm planning to get more lol, kinda addicted to wrapping things :thumbsup:

haha nice, i can see why,

If i could afford it, i would probably to the door skins, then again, that might be over kill, maybe just rip off the door card material and do those, as well as the whole centre console/triple gauge

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
