[Charles89]

Got any pics?

Nah, no pics..... It's kinda embarassing lol

[Charles89]

i would love to get my rb26 engine covers done. that would look tuff !

how would it go on engine parts?

I'm really not sure, as I haven't done anything for a engine bay. But I was so close to buying a spare NEO cover and shaving it and wrap it lol, but ended up couldn't be bothered with it

Looks really nice Charles, Just spend 30 minutes reading this whole thread!.

Once I finally get my 32 GTR I will have to buy some Vynil & tips off you.

Postage to W.A? would you charge more?

Here is a dash I have just about finished, the two photos give you an idea what is needed to work the material were you want it.

Well.... This vinyl has a DRY carbon fibre look, not a WET look, and it's not meant to be clear coated to make it look like WET carbon fibre.

Putting clear coat on the vinyl will fill out all the embossed carbon fibre pattern, which will make it look more like gloss black without the pattern and the reflections of the pattern will reflect less and only in certain angles.

Looking fantastic! VN/VP/VQ/VR Commo?

[Charles89]

Nice work DRIFTT, did you encounter any cars that's got a bonnet that's longer than 1.2m?

[NA_Goodness]

Not a VN/VP, either VR/VS. I'd guess VR Exec. Still a fantastic job.

The IS200 bonnet is actually two pieces of material with a join down the centre, it is hard to see but it is there.

Yeah it is a mates VR Exec, looks a lot better in the car especially since he also put white face dials in so got to get some more photos.

It wasn't easy but bonnet was on the car, what is the cheap stuff and who is selling it over here.

Here's a comparison of the original vinyl and clear coated vinyl:

Left = original, right = clear coated
