[reanimator420]

oh shit.....thats hot as hell

[mastaofdisasta]

thanks, and it only cost me 9.99

[Crazybird]

wtf how toooo

[blazin3gen]

u got the carbon fiber stickers? lol

[mkymonkey]

yeah...make a how to!!!! NOW


i love it. wanna sell them :D haha

[mastaofdisasta]

bascially, u go to pepboys and get that CF trim sticker stuff, its in the section witht he decals, get a piece of white paper, and trace the outline of the piece ur covering, then make a template out of that and just cut the cf sticker stuff the way u want it, stick it on and make some final trim, whole process....20 miniutes, im also under the impression i can make a gauge bezel this way too, or cover my ipod in it, possibilities are endless...

[mkymonkey]

u got the carbon fiber stickers? lol

man if those are stickers....they look fucking real!

[mastaofdisasta]

ya i was surprised too, i thought at first it was gonna look kinda like nasty but those stickers were def. worth the 9.99

[blazin3gen]

man if those are stickers....they look fucking real!


haha i always wanted to put those stickers on my car with the carbon fiber hood but never got around to doin it

[mastaofdisasta]

at first i wanted to do the whole headlight structure in it, then i got lazy and wasnt sure how itd look

[Jasonf860]

haha i always wanted to put those stickers on my car with the carbon fiber hood but never got around to doin it
I'll do my whole hood in CF stickers! :rofl: :rofl:

[mastaofdisasta]

why stop there?

[Jasonf860]

why stop there?
Your right! Whole car, here I come! Cheaper than a paint job!
But yeah, I agree, that looks sweet and you'd never know they were stickers!

[gfrg88]

holy shit!!!!!!! HOTNEZZ!!!!!!!!! 2x:thumbup:

that looks badass man :rockon:

[mastaofdisasta]

Thanks, i might try the cf gauge bezel someday if i get time too

[russiankid]

/runs to pepboys.



That looks really cool, i might do that.

[Civic Accord Honda]

that looks so fu**ing cool it would be cool to do that to the moon roof and gas door and trunk and hood and fenders :)

[MessyHonda]

damn thats PIMP.....too bad i got JDM coners and it would not match ......

[MessyHonda]

that looks so fu**ing cool it would be cool to do that to the moon roof and gas door and trunk and hood and fenders :)

ok thats rice....keep it simple and do it on small stuff....if you are going to do the hood at least get a real one..lol

[Civic Accord Honda]

i was being sarcastic
i would do eyelid grill gas door and may try the back tall light on the trunk :)

and i think it would look awesome with jdm markers

[alboy86]

that does look pretty cool may not be real but it adds something to the car ya dont see every day i like it how did ya do it

[alboy86]

that would go good with my car color gun metal gray yaya:rockon:

[MessyHonda]

that would go good with my car color gun metal gray yaya:rockon:

yes it would....trade you colors?...lol

[mkymonkey]

hey i have a gunmetal car....hmm

[MessyHonda]

hey i have a gunmetal car....hmm

should match your hood FOOL!

[snoopyloopy]

hmm.....so now i see what they look like. btw, has anyone actually got a set that etaftermarket said he was willing to make for us to see how they look?

[MessyHonda]

he only made them for the preludepower ppl...i say that kit for 9.99 bucks does not look bad....he wanted like 70 bucks for eyelids...just crazy...lol

[88accordhb]

A for effort and originality but that was probably the most pointless mod i've seen thus far.

[RamThis]

I can make those out of real CF, those would be super easy to do....

I'd just need the original trim pieces to cover and clearcoat.

That's something I could do pretty easy since I have all the stuff here needed to do that lil job :rockon:

That decal looks pretty convincing in pics, but in real life, you dont have that great 90* light reflection flop as you change perspective. Most people wouldnt notice though unless you were a connoisseur like ourselves lol.

can you be our CF making whore? please......2x i say you take the parts off the lx-i and start doing some molds....

[BITESIZE]

That must be a single layer of real carbon fiber made into a sticker? It looks good, I'm going to try that on my odometer bezel thingy. That's about all it would be good for in my opinion.

i have to agree :ugh:

[mastaofdisasta]

as are most visual mods

[Jasonf860]

:werd: :stupid:

[A18A]

it still looks nice though

Nah it's just vinyl made to be almost black, with silver-ish looking dash marks painted on to give the effect of the reflection on the strands. It's what we in the RC Airplane hobby would call, "stand off scale" because it looks real if you stand off a ways to look at it.

[SQ is the SQUAD]

a real carbonfiber gauge bezel is only 15 i belive. mine looks great with the reverse indaglows

[MessyHonda]

^^^your guages look sideways....anayways was that the ebay type bezel?

[RamThis]

Where did you get those white guage faces??

[mkymonkey]

they're the pro car parts gauges. i dunno if they sell them anymore but you can try to google them. i have a link but im too lazy lol. oh and they're silver not white :thumbup:

[RamThis]

Whatever they are, they look good. I have white face guages in my 96 Ram and love em. I'll see what I can find for guages like those cuz I wantem

[speedpenguin]

Nice or rice?

If you can't tell it's fake, then it ain't rice. Oh wait, real CF headlight trim would still be rice. Oh well, it still looks good :lol:

[HondaBoy]

man, that looks so good i think i'ma have to do that there. i'm going to run over to pepboys now too, lol. thats crazy how real it looks :thumbup:

i just ahve to get my nedels to light up
im thinking glow in the dark paint in red

[RamThis]

For some reason I though the needles did light up, or are those not original? I gotta look at my guage pics and see lol, I cant remember what they looked like.

[ghettogeddy]

i removed my lights

[MessyHonda]

i removed my lights

yeah no wonder you cant see them..lol

[RamThis]

I know the needles on my Ram glow with the guage lighting, wonder if you could use some of those? I'm thinking of getting the silver with CF bezel from them as well, looks killer. Of course, just a Silver CF Bezel with the stock black guages would look good too!

[ghettogeddy]

ya the ones i have are silver i like them better then the white there easyer to see in the day

[mike10562004]

looks good man y didnt i think of this? i covered the gas lid and the eye lids i tryed the eyelids atleast the roll is not wide enought to cover it tryed it side by side and it makes it look fake so yeah anyways looks pimp man
-mike

[ahmad89]

should have continued the same pattern like have then both going one way

[tuxdreamerx]

I swear I didnt jack your idea lol I just had a ricey thought and CF my headlight trim too lol. I actually baught a roll of CF vinyl and just started looking around the car to see waht would look good and I said HEY headlight trim and gas door. I still wanna CF more though.

[Edison Carasio]

Looks good.
