Yippee ki-yay, fellow 5er members!

I installed a roof rack last week into my car. The roof rack was wrapped in carbon fiber vinyl at first.
Here's the thread: Wrapping and installing a new "mod" - Making the car a bit more practical





I wondered what to do with the bike carriers. Today I started wrapping them as well .

Here's one pic. More to come.

Yeah I just spotted it crossing the road.

I'm currently installing the plastic parts back in to the first carrier and then I'm mounting it on the car.

I took it yes. Viper (vipera berus), our only poisonous snake. Wanted to post it here because it looks so carbon fibered !
I think snakes are cool looking animals, but still don't like to be too close to them haha!
