looks good, keep posting what your doing, interested to see how far you take it and what results you get, so far looks really good.

Yup, I'll be doing more when I have more time :rolleyes:

hey dude did you order it through carbonfiberfilm? also, how long did it take to get to ya?

Nope, I got it from a relative that lives in the US. It took 10 days for him to post it to me :action-smiley-069:

I tried to get the gear boot surround out today, but I couldn't unplug the ciggy lighter, i even pulled as hard as I could but it wouldn't come apart. Can anyone help? lol

if your gonna do doors inners, then just get real carbon ones

put you should try to put a layer of clear over one of your parts to see if it actually turns out like real carbon, would make it look 100x better imo

For me, I'd prefer my interior in satin than gloss. Yeah, it might look real and all, but I don't wanna get glare from the sun off the gloss :)

bahaha, you bastard, that looks soo awesome.

PS, with the cig lighter, just pull harder lol, itll come out eventually, there are some small bumps moulded into the shape of the plastic part, i ended up damaging mine a little so if i put anything into the lighter socket and then go to take it out, the socket wants to come out with it lol

You mean carbon door inserts (if so from where, i've never seen them), or do you mean carbon door skins? I think comparing a few bucks worth of vinyl to cover the factory carpet door inserts to $1000+ for full door skins is a bit of a stretch...

it kinda looks like wallpaper without the real carbon gloss look...

doesnt look too bad but Id like too see what happens after a few months, especially if it gets parked in the sun a few times on hot days...

Looks great. Does it stick when you apply heat with the heat gun?

What do you mean stick? It does stick to whatever I'm applying on, if I use heat :D

Well, if I want, I can just spray a coat of clear over the top, but like I've said before, I'd rather a satin finish in my interior.

The 3M stuff should endure the hot weather, but I'll keep you guys updated :blink:

Also, a coat of clear should make the vinyl more durable, but it doesn't really bother me :P

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
