Carbon wrapped window pillars

[walkie]

Hey everyone,

Not a tremendously intersting post but for under £7 on eBay I figured it would be a hoot to wrap my window pillars in carbon. No risk mod if it looks crap - it be peeled!

Must admit I was surprised at how good it looked, so thought i'd share - enjoy

Well done, looks really good.
Was it easy to install?

You'll need to do those wing mirror brackets now Looks good though. Have you done your roll bars too?

Yep think that looks great

Shame you didn't get the weave going in the same direction

Are you gonna stop there?
Would like to see the mirrors done as well.
Good job though.

Is that real carbon in a clear laminate or a carbon effect wrap?

Looks ok but like Steve said, weave needs to be in same direction.

the weave does look like it's in the same direction, ie bottom right to top left? Or do you mean it should be mirrored?

Not a fan of carbon wrap personally because I perfer the real stuff but I do think it looks good against the white paint

Passenger side is vertical, drivers is horizontal!

 

[techathy]

Real carbon can't be 90 degrees out as the weave direction is dependent on viewing angle. Hence my question

I think it looks good.

I thought I'd done it right, but evidently not. Never mind I don't tend to dwell tremendously on such details.

With regards to difficultly it was 3rd time lucky I am afraid, it is pretty easy just a few school boy errors. Youtube is your friend!

Can't make up my mind if I like it or not! Have you got a pic of the entire front (i.e. seeing car with both pillars wrapped in one pic)
