I will be wrapping 4th gen mirrors and a 97-99 grill as well as a 5.5gen grill and cefiro mirrors. I was just looking to see if anyone had other parts they thought would be cool in cf. I'm down to try anything so don't be shy and give me some ideas. Any gen is welcome!!

 

carbon fiber windshield!... your welcome

the only thing I could think if is possibly the inside of some r34's?

 

a pillars? or just drivers side a pillar with gauge pods?

 

How about the cloth inserts on the 5.5 interior?

It'd probably only look good on a black interior, though.

 

Humm good suggestions.. Don't know how the cloth inserts would work out considering I have to wrap something that is solid unless I just rip the cloth off. A pillars would be cool. I was thinking about those triangle pieces covering the mirror access in the 4th gens just because they are easy to wrap. Also wrapping the arm rest is in the works too

 

In to see pics.

 

If I was to have carbon fiber, I'd want the door inserts, the mirror triangle (I know there is a proper name for that part), the instrument panel trim, the 'flat' areas of the center console, the cover of the cup holder, and the armrest.

I can't personally afford such treatment - but If your going to do it - do it right.

 

I thought about all that but I have the regular ac controls so that would cover up the ac switch the 1 2 3 4. So that's out for me lol the arm rest is a go for now as long with the triangles!!

 

alright well here are some things i have done for my S14 and my maxima. along with a friends 86 4runner center arm rest..










so i was just messing around with the arm rest of the maxima considering the shape and how you have to bend the cf and what not.. not bad for just using a scrap piece of cf...

 

*claps* not bad at all i wouldnt mind cf dash for the 4th gen

 

good luck on what you're doing man.

 

very good work my friend!.. keep it up

 

a 5.5 stillen classic front lip in CF would be insane.. also 5.5 gen side mirrors.. I'm down for those

 

id be down for a couple parts. ill contact you via pm.

 

cf headliner... just sayen... would be pretty cool!

 

How many layers of CF are you using?

 

I typically use 2.. Just defends on the part. The Toyota cover is one layer in the picture but i came back with a second layer of cf considering you could see through the first layer. I will how ever be doing some 5.5 gen mirrors soon so stay tune for some pictures next week

 

how hard was it to wrap that armrest?

 

fuse panel covers
and fluid caps if possible.

 

it was actuality pretty easy. as for thefluid caps i never thought about wrapping them. thats a really good idea. i usually just tend to paint them like this on i did on a G20

 

nice g20 bay, what brand of carbon fiber wrap are you using?

 

Wrapping lightweight plastic parts to make them heavier?

 

seems you would have figured out the second side effect, do you know the first as well?

freaking hate jackasss comments. Painting them would make em heavier as well.

There was a cover for fourth gens made to cover the fuse panels. I prefer one if he can make it

 

Do you have a pic of 5.5 gen grill that you worked on?

 

Why do people concern themselves with weight when we drive a maxima, adding 5 pounds is going to do nothing to our cars. Wrapping plastic parts in cf is purely ascetically pleasing!! As for the 5.5 gen grill they already sell a cf one for 150 online. I was going to wrap a 4.5 gen grill.

 

in need of friends. he start pulling deadening and everything else weighted out of the car then there may be a little credence to his question.

 

PM sent, and waiting for your reply....

 

Same

 

sorry guys ive been out of town and then come back to find stuff stolen from my yard.. its been a rough couple of weeks.. sigh.. anyway here is my progress with my own parts. new arm rest, dash cluster cover and triangles that cover the mirrors on the inside.. my lame se didnt come with bose so i custom molded in tweaters then decided to wrap them in cf.. i still have to put 3 more coats of resin on then sand and 3 coats of clear so i should have them done by this weekend if all goes well.

 

Nice work!

(Those triangle mirror covers on the interior are called sail panels)

 

Ah very good name for them. Guess I'll be sailing in cf from now on. Idk if anyone would be interested in this but I was thinking about making the 95 grill fit on the 97 front end. Then of course wrap it in cf. Probably have that done by next weekend. Pictures will have updates of everything I'm working on by Tuesday.

 

hmm, well, if you do make a 95-96 style grille to fit the 97-99's, ill be first in line to buy one! but no cf for me! pm me if you decide to make um!

 

How about the caseing that goes around the steering shaft right behind the steering wheel (the houseing that covers the key hole ,blinker arm and headlight control arm)..the two parts top and bottom..kinda like Wizards set up minus the gauge pod...Oh and the door inserts...Both for a 4th gens

 

I was thinking the flip down mirrors and the dome lights. And id also be intrested and wrapping most of my center console.

 

hey anything you guys wanna send my way ill wrap!! anyone thiking that the door inserts is cool and wants those wrapped.. good luck cause im not even going to attempt doing those lol

 

Hey guys do to the fact that people have been flooding my inbox on my NismoVQdet? Account I made this profile strictly for questions regarding cf wrapping and any other custom things you wanted done. I'll be making some 95 grills to fit the 97 front end soon so that should be nice. So if you have any questions pm me on TheArtist

 

ok so update for my cf parts.. i finally put the last resin coat on and after they dry i will sand smooth and put on a couple clear coats.. oh doing some cf mirrors too

 

came out slick as hell. like the sail panels and gauge cover...i like my squishy top armrest . ill be mailing my fuse panels to you today. dude is sending the other caps today as well.

 

some good stuff here! pm sent

 

doing some of this as well, what resin are you using and if its polyester are you using a sealer or uv protectant??
