We look at custom builds daily. It鈥檚 part of the job. It鈥檚 part of the hobby. And for the most part, it鈥檚 because we鈥檙e passionate about the industry - the people, the aftermarket parts, the events, the trends and so much more. So whether I鈥檓 checking out cars online or at an event, recently (due to the advancements and quality in digital printing and vinyl) one aftermarket part has me looking twice, and i can often get fooled.
Here鈥檚 a video that was shared by wrap installer, UnderWraps laying down some printed carbon fiber from 3M. At the back of my head, I knew this trend would pick up some steam, not only because real carbon fiber is expensive, and depending on where you live, shipping big and fragile parts may not be suggested because of potential damage and costs, or just because the track-inspired theme is popular. The benefits of carbon fiber and weight savings don鈥檛 mean much if you don鈥檛 go to the track. But I do understand the aesthetics; carbon fiber sure does look good and provides a contrast between the colored panels.
This is a mod where I gotta look twice just so I don鈥檛 get fooled.
