DaveSakky135 · 01-25-2010, 05:33 PM

is this possible of will it look bad because of the indents on the trim?

pit1 · 01-26-2010, 10:33 AM

Also interested. Been tempted but hesitated for the same reason. Anyone?

DaveSakky135 · 01-26-2010, 09:35 PM

bump, would like to see this also... or should i just change my order to black trim, i plan on CF wrapping it asap.

Lester · 02-01-2010, 05:08 AM

I would say if you plan to wrap, then change to one of the smooth trims. Glacier aluminum is textured, like alligator skin.

ORIGIN M. · 02-01-2010, 05:58 AM

I agree, get one of the smooth trims.

PrimoM3 · 02-01-2010, 01:44 PM

Or sand yours first...

That wouldn't work. The impressions are quite deep, and I'm sure stamped out. I don't see using a wrap on Glacier aluminum at all.

PrimoM3 · 02-01-2010, 11:12 PM

Of course it would, Lester. A handful of folks have sanded theirs to apply paint or carbon fiber print vinyl. I can't see how applying a vinyl fabric would make any difference.

Why not wrap a test piece and find out? That's the only way to know. Personaly I don't think indents will telegraph through if the wrap is over 3 mil thick.

Rat Fink · 02-02-2010, 02:36 PM

I've done it with no noticeable indentations. I'll try and post some pics up sometime soon.

As promised:

As you can see, I've not had a chance to finish the trim around the 'former' ashtray.

Looks good hdvato.
Have you got the manufacturer and part number for the CF wrap that you've used? I'm trying to find some in the UK.

Thanx.

I sourced the material from PYSpeed.
