3m carbon fiber interior or exterior

[vujo310]

I've been pondering this issue, post appropriately.
I was thinking about the roof rack and some panels inside but not too sure yet.

I would not bother with the interior. I did it and so has Harper. Like he's stated before, it isn't that great to work with on compound bends like the door handles. It looks fantastic at first, until it starts to pull away.

But as far as the exterior goes, have at it. I did the chrome trim and the front "wings". The rear garnish, however is a complete pain.

fake carbon fiber... kinda rice.

now if you were to just go with black, that might be OK.

I personally love the look of carbon. Duc, post some pics of your interior if you have some.

These are horrible pics, but you get the idea.

I know I'll get reamed with the "ricer" tag, but everyone likes their own thing.

HU looks cool. what are those lights to the sides? functional knobs/buttons?

Love that look. I may have to ditch my black vinyl and go carbon now.

Ha!! You take pictures like...ME!!!
:lmao:

They are all functional buttons. Bottom two on either side are momentary for air horns and something else. Don't know what yet. Others will be for roof lights, reverse lights, headlight halos, etc...

Meh... doesn't look as bad as I thought it would. It's pretty subtle on black.

Ducmonsta,

Do you have a write-up or anything on applying the carbon fiber to the various components that you've shown?

 

[dekeman]

Can we encourage you to do the hood?

No. There are tons of threads with people removing every component of our trucks. Didn't want to bother people with small details.

I think that may be a bit much for me. Hell, it's already a bit much for most people.
I am planning on doing the entire roof so I don't have to clean it when my GOBI goes on.
