This is my first DIY mod on the XV, I plasti dipped the chrome grill and wrapped the middle part in dinoc carbon fiber wrap from 3m. I plan to plasti dip the badges on the rear soon

Thanks Xtreker. I will be doing more carbon fiber wrapping as soon as I get more film. I ran out

Couple of guys on the XVForum have done hood deflectors and rear spoilers that look great as well

Excellent!

You're using some kind of film for this?

 

[chasem]

that looks fantastic. I like the mixed look of the plasti-dipped outline with the carbon-wrapped middle section

 

[contrail_25]

I like it! That'd look great on my metallic grey XV....wanna hook a guy up? j/k

It's a vinyl wrap made by 3m. It's all over eBay and YouTube has some tutorials on how to use it

Here are some other Vinyl Carbon Wrap ideas for you. We are not as adventurous nor as skilled, so we paid to have the eyelids cut onto the top half of our headlight.

Just curious, who did you pay to do this? I want to get some stuff done but I'm too chicken.

Oh man. This is my next mod. I just made a template but ran out of wrap. It looks great

Hmmmm I hadn't thought about wrap before. It definitely adds some cool accents- Im liking the headlights!

He grille and the headlights look awesome. I have a can of Plasti Dip sitting on my desk waiting for a day when I have time, but I am thinking about vinyl wrapping now.

 

[AlexAlejan]

I'm really thinking about trying the plastidip/carbon combo like you Ikon. Did you do it yourself? I feel like I can figure out the plasti-dip ok, but I was wondering if you had any tips about using the carbon wrap (how to apply it, line it up, cut it, etc).

Thanks!

This looks great. Where did you go to get this done? Cost (if you don't mine me asking)?

Thanks,

You will need a heating gun or good blow dryer, a very sharp utility knife or xacto and a plastic squeegee. There are a ton of videos on you tube on installing the wrap.

Thanks for the info, Ill check out some tutorials.

That's looks really cool Dan, I was thinking I might tint that area on the 2018 Dark Grey Metallic, how's it holding up this long later? Might do this instead.
