Re: carbon fiber wrap on gfx

I think that they would be easy to wrap and it would be cheap to do. On the other hand some people hate the stuff and say it looks cheap, an obvious fake and *****-ish. If you like it go ahead and do it, I think you could do the side pieces for no more than $50 including the cost of a heat gun.

Carbon fiber wrap looks goofy on any car. If it isn't carbon fiber, why fake it?

...I agree with this statement. ....it's your car, I won't bash, but my two cents...don't do it.

Re: carbon fiber wrap on gfx

Change the door pins and adjust. Paint door sills. Install clear bra on door sills. It will stay looking new and perfect for years.
