3M's carbon fiber DI-NOC vinyl

Would that be "rice" on a corolla? .... I'm thinking of wrapping certain areas. or getting lip extensions and wrapping those..

Right now I'm thinking of wrapping the sideview mirrors

MAYBE the Hood/Trunk and roof (just because I have a dent on the roof from a piece of log that fell)

depends what you wrap. There are a few older threads about just this. Run a search and do some digging, I believe there are even pics of certain parts with vinyl mocked up. LOVE the look if it's done right.

CF on mirrors is ok. But for the roof, go gloss black. looks good on white. Leave the hood as is.

Oh yeah, another thing I'm worried about wrapping is that It has a limited lifetime =\ maybe I should put off on it I guess.

Lol, yeah I sort of like the black and white contrast thing. What's the bimmer? (sorry I don't recall what that is)

bimmer is slang for BMW. IMO I would avoid the wraps. It can be done tastefully, but even then I'm not a huge fan.

Small things aren't that bad, but when I see the cars hood and trunk wrapped with that stuff, I'd just shake my head in disappointment lol. The roof isn't too bad from what I've seen on bimmers, do it! So I can see if I like it or not lol.

lol, okay. I see how it is. I'm going to be a guinea pig eh....

hmm well, yeah I have some internal conflicts... because one part just wants to do whatever so it will look like the way I want it to right? but I guess another part of me is thinking that if I do something to the corolla that doesn't really suit it or match it then it will just seem like i'm trying too hard/showing off or just trying to grab attention (not in a good way)

Do whatever YOU want to do to it! I have a few mods that others don't like, but it's me and I like them.
