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

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
