There is a definition of "rice" out there some where...

Oh wait, you just found it.

No, seriously, you wouldn't be any bigger of a poser than you would with this wrapped on your hood.

 

someone did it on one of the other scion forums and it bubbled up pretty fast.

 

That is so Rice...! You'd be adding weight instead of reducing it.

 

Yea, don't do that.

 

Do it if it makes you happy.
















I had to say it.

 

Ya, this is obviously personal preference and if someone likes it, more power to them.

I just hope they don't want "mad props" when they show off their CF wrapped hood.

 

When it comes to carbon fiber, IMO, you either do it right or DON'T DO IT AT ALL! This is the equivalent to spinner hubcaps. Just a cheap imitation.

 

id maybe do my mirrors. but thats it

 

You should definitely do it, and while your at it invest in these

^^ lol....thats funny i did'nt know they had those.lmao

 

If you're going to do that, why stop at the hood? Do the whole car.

 

I think this may just be the coolest thing in existence.

 

haha. he is right.




















but seriously dont do it

 

... That is all.

 

i only have two comments.

if you're gonna wrap anything to make it look like CF.. that material is the best stuff you can find. as far as the "cheap imitation" comment above.. i've seen the material in person.. and cheaper than real CF it is.. but it certainly isn't a poor quality imitation.

the other comment? don't do the hood... other stuff perhaps.. interior pieces.. etc..
but the hood? eh.. no.

 

The company says it can be used on the exterior..and they have a special one for it. I've actually read a thread the company started here on SL a few weeks ago.
Personally, I think their stuff would look much better to do CF stuff on the interior. Trim pieces, dash inserts, etc.
The Beemers they had done on their website for the interiors with their high grade version stuff IMHO looked pretty classy and nice.

 

^^ we posted at the same time.. but yes.. smaller interior pieces would be nicer

but yea.. i've seen a roof wrapped in it.. as well as a hatch/trunk
and lemme tell you.. visual-wise... it looks like CF.. it's textured even too.. and you can even clear-coat the sucker if you wanted..

most times it's hard to even tell if it's fake or not.. 3M did a crazy job making a cheap imitation.. out of VINYL.

great stuff.. but i'm still gonna say no on the hood.

 

^^ agreed Squal....
I'd have to vote no on the hood too... just my opinion there too.... but to each their own.

 

in the meantime.. don't dis the material.
it has it's applications. protection as well as looking good for example.
