Doing a full car wrap on my buddy's S2k. It's a in-progress track car, and instead of painting it, he decided to have me wrap it with my carbon fiber material to give it a different look/style.







(The lighter/white spots are just from the dust from my hands when I was working with the vinyl)


(Since it's a track car, we just laid the carbon fiber vinyl over the old mounting holes for the stock mirrors, which is why it looks wavy in that area of the door)




(I did the main piece/section here, and he did the small side pieces. A good example/note to make here is to be careful when installing vinyl, as you can scratch it, leaving the white residue that you see in between the seams there)




(Matte black hood)




If you guys have any questions, or want any specific pictures let me know, and I'll take some for you guys.

He just wanted to sand/smooth out the hood before I applied the vinyl on. There were some spots where bondo had gotten on to the hood, from doing other body work on the car.

I wish I lived closer to you Don. I would love to do the carbon fiber wrap to the roof of my silver gray 530. I think that would be soooo good looking.
