I saw this done on an mr2 spyder and have been in love with the idea since, it's a vinyl strip on the bottom grill. I was playin around with Gimp (free Photoshop) and removed the front plate and put on the vinyl, tell me what you guys think

Before:

I'm not sure, from the picture it looks like there is nothing but a big gap in the front middle of the car.

It may look better in person.

the idea comes originally from the gtr. i think the idea is whole bunch of fail. but that my opinion.
like how this tc fails...

DocUnissis · 08-14-2010, 09:38 PM

you get my stamp of approval.

and that's worth a lot.

Haha, that tc really does fail, I think the evo does it too. If the lips weren't angled to the outside it could look like this:

Since this is the Vinyl Thread,

I want to share this with you guys and see what you have in mind... I got this from a random BMW when I looked up carbon fiber hoods, just random... and I think it's pretty sick...

Ouch...

see how his bell is raping the owner's window...

A guy on spyderchat.com wrapped his whole mr2 spyder in that carbon fiber vinyl, here's the link http://spyderchat.com/forums/showthr...bon+fiber+wrap

The Corolla looks a lot like our Matrix' front bumper

id actually carbon fiber wrap my hood or roof if it wasnt so expensive.

nhoc_kun · 08-14-2010, 11:28 PM

I feel weird cause it's not real carbon fiber, but sticky vinyl, so yea, I won't put it on my car, but I think it's cool...

Well it would help protect the paint & it would look like new when you wanted to take the vinyl off.

xpinvinyl is selling real carbon fiber fabric at the same price as vinyl, people should look into it.

I always wondered how much it would cost to vinyl wrap.

How much do you think it would cost to wrap the roof in a regular gloss black vinyl? I'm not sure if it would also be possible to wrap my roof spoiler?

On eBay they have a couple listings for a sheet 48"x600" enough for a whole car, L]
Smaller amounts of carbon fiber are usually under $100 dollars on there. Doing your roof in it would look sick
