Carbon Fiber Wrap
Hello everyone,
I am hoping to get some feedback on the best way to wrap my rear diffuser/front splitter in carbon fiber. They will be delivered early next week. The couple of posts I have came across w/ them wrapped like that looks slick so I definitely want to go that route but was hoping to get feedback/direction on what materials/process works best for the folks that have theirs done this way. I ordered the unpainted ones and feel like wrapping them would also be more durable. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

So from your question I’m assuming that you plan on wrapping them yourself?
Just asking in regards to if you’ve had any experience in using film or wrap and if yes to what extent. I myself love the look of carbon wrap and have tried to wrap a few things that I thought would be fairly easy since I have no experience whatsoever but, the wrap beat me up pretty bad. Lmao! I’d like to think that I’m pretty well versed and or a fast learner. But yeeeeeea.... Hell I tried wrapping my flat square kitchen table top and it looked like sh**! Hahahahaha! And I had everything needed. Razors and squeegees and spray bottles with water and baby soap mix and heat gun I mean everything. I’ve seen people do it watched YouTube videos the whole 9. I did a few parts on my motorcycle and they turned out pretty good. But that damn table top I couldn’t get. Lol!

Hey, thanks for the reply bud. Yeah, I was planning on wrapping them myself. I was posting to get a gauge on how difficult it'd be & material preferences. Once I get outta work I'm gonna pull up youtube and see if its something I will have the time to take on. I'm assuming its a tedious, detailed process which I have the patience for, just not sure I will have the time to allot for mistakes, redos etc. So appreciate the feedback!
