so ive been thinking what i can do to the scoob for a low budget but high impact. im toying with the idea of buying some carbon fibre vinyl and doing my front fog covers, middle part of lowwer air intake on the front bumper and the top blade of the rear spoiler. also thought about possibly doing the roof?and if theres any left over maybe a few bits in the engine bay like fuse cover ect. just wondered if anybody else had done anything like this or just everyones thoughts really. heres some pics of it at the moment.

 

carbon vynal looks **** mate and is very expensive and hard to work with. a mate i work with covered his bonnet on his supra with carbon vynal and it looked gash

 

I think the stick on carbon will look exactly that - stuck on.

What about some solid coloured vinyl or as above paint. Pick a colour to match your wheels - graphite.

Its what I'm doing with a full rally decal set.

 

Faux carbon is a bit naff isn't it ? If you can't stretch to the real thing for the right reasons, just leave it alone IMHO or you'll end up on Barryboys getting laughed at. Also, I find the carbon vinyl very tricky to apply to anything but pretty flat surfaces as it's quite rigid. Getting it looking good on a very complex contoured surface will be difficult to impossible IMHO.

 

thanks for the comments guys. like i said it was just a thought which judging by you guys probably wont make it off the drawing board. paint is an idea though.

 

2nd the idea about graphite vinyl, much easier to work with.........

 

There is a solution whereby you can 'dip' small items in a carbon look liquid (yes really). There was a thread on here a while back.

 

black or cabron spoiler blade would look nice on your colour scoob i dont like graphics at all thats just me though. a carbon fron tsplitter and spoiler blade would look awesome

 

your car looks lovely mate,but like said,carbon fibre stick on is a bit max power im afraid,people will look close, try and peel it to check its real,and will be able to lol

 

Truth be known, my b-pillars are covered with carbon vinyl
