Wrapped an Evo this weekend!

[35RFTW]

Been offering the wrap for a little while now and just did an Evo over the weekend and thought I would share.

Selling this stuff at $6/sqft and smallest cut is a 4x1 section at $24. Hit me up if you are interested.

With a fake CF wrap, was it a real Evo, or just a regular Lancer with Evo stuff?

Looks good, either way.

with the intercooler in the bumper and the fins above the rear window, tells me it's a real Evo

More than likely. I noticed the fins, but I've seen an intercooler on a Civic before, so... Just wondered, anyway.

Viva la roof nipples!!!!!!

Ive bought some of this stuff on ebay and had real trouble with compund curves. You mind sharing some secret or tips on using the stuff esp around the edges.

[35RFTW]

The secret is authentic 3m product. I have had horrible experiences with other materials, but this gets the job done. We are offering it as an install service so if there is something you would like wrapped, pm me for a quote.

is it real carbon fiber?

heat. propane torch works fastest.

Not real but as close as you are going to get for the price.

Lets be very clear, this is an appearance only mod. If you think it is dumb, that is cool, this is not for you. This is very high quality stuff though. It has gone in anything from an Evo to a Bently. This is not some crap Autozone Carbon-Like shiny film that looks nothing like Carbon. From 10ft away, 9 out of 10 are going to think it is real Carbon. Why pay $300 for some little trim panels in carbon, that will save you maybe some grams on your weight when you can do this for 1/3 or less the cost or less.

Propane torch would melt right through this stuff. A hairdryer on medium is perfect for this application. That is the big difference in the authentic stuff. The off brand is almost like thin plastic, which is why it requires so much heat.

How well will it hold up in wind and rain at 130mph? Thinking about this for the leading edges of my race plastics that always get chipped up from rocks and debris.

read first post lol

It would hold up just fine. This is meant to be outdoor all weather stuff and is fairly think. 0.4 mil I believe.

I ended up getting some of the 3M Di-NOC stuff on ebay to wrap some side fairing stuff on my bike. Those edges are ridiculously hard though when you dont use a hairdryer...which ill try next time. Much appreciated!

Seeing those interior pics, there is no reason to go with the real thing.

after a couple years the real stuff would be yellow anyway

[DangBruhY]

Awesome! Looks good.

True and this stuff is rated for 4 year life in direct sunlight and I think like 7 on interior.

I am thinking about doing a special project for Mid-Ohio, does anyone want to get a sick deal on a whole bike wrap?

[wrillo]

think you could wrap a frame and swing arm? that'd be sweet, but I fear that the welds would get in the way

[Cbus636]

i just did this to the interior of my bmw. I had some trouble making the corners nice and clean. I was told to fold the ends like you are folding a present. Aren't there different ways to fold a present??? Care to share some insight on how you made your ends look so clean and corners nice and sharp?

[ICEMAN]

if i was to buy this totalled 09 gixxer 600 im lookin at, i would totally get it wrapped!!!

I thought this was going to be a "I wrecked into a tree" thread by the title.

what would this deal be? my bikes paint looks like shit, and i dont have the money to get it repainted, or the tools to do a good rattle can job. So i might possibly be interested. You can PM if you want

[scheetz31]

Do you only carry the carbon fiber wrap or do you have other colors as well?

+1...how much for this?

[35RFTW]

We only carry the dry carbon look wrap at this time. If you needed enough of it I could make a special order in a custom color or style. I have a book with about 600 swatches in it of different colors/textures. Everything from gold look to cherry wood lol. I would love to see a wood grain bike lol. As for the deal, it would be a less than cost and free install of a full bike wrap. Looking for a fairly new bike. Must be super clean other than the bodywork and you must be willing to let us keep your bike at our booth during Superbike weekend. Pm me if you are interested.
