CF vinyl on hood vents

[RestoStang67]

What do you guys think? I have a trucarbon shelby wing and thought a couple other subtle carbon fiber accents would look good. Is it ricer?

I'd say it looks better in person...

Sharp! I thought about doing something like this. I definitely like it better with the inside fins done but not the vent surrounds.

Thanks guys

ya thats why i did it this way. It gives the fins more depth and definition especially on black cars.

Yea I think it works well on black. Not so sure on my SGM.

I thought about carbon vinyl on my roof but still on the fence between it or just matte black.

I do like the look on this setup as black on black is hard to get the effect.

I've seen roofs done before and it looks pretty good...depends on color. The good thing about black is that you can see the CF but it blends in and is subtle which is what im going for

I think it looks great.

I like it, I've seriously thought about putting them on my silver car.

You're welcome! :beer: I'm glad I thought of this idea last year! Seems to be quite a catch! I'm sure someone would have eventually thought of it though.

IMO, this is the how they should come from the factory. LOL

I've had mine on since last October (I think)

Looks good had the same ones but took them off to get hydrodipped

Looks great on DIB dirtyd. I have only seen a handful of pics online and I liked the way it looked on yours. I haven't seen it done on a black car yet. :banana:

There are a few guys here in DFW with black cars that have them. When Big Worm Graphix started producing them after I asked him to try and make a set (which I'm pretty sure was the first ones), I was hoping that other companies like AM and Latemodel wouldn't copy them, since that would allow Big Worm to get more steady business...but I guess not.

Either way, it's win for us.

I agree, it looks great. Mine are homemade. I bought a role of CF vinyl and cut them myself... I also did my center console and center stack a few months ago

I've been debating if I should plasti-dip the vent fins and surround or if i should go this route. Looks great on black and dib. Not sure how carbon fiber vent fins would look on my SGM.

Hood vents look great! ive been thinking about hydrodipping mine but this seems to be a much easier and more reasonable way to do it. definitely a unique look

Now that looks badass.

That looks good, how hard is it to get by the e brake area where it curves down?

Ill have pics up of my hydrodipped vents soon hopefully, been waiting a month for them....

It was tough getting it down in the ebrake area. I just used a blow dryer and massaged it alot. Honestly I was surprised i got it to look that good.
