I definitely would like to see pictures from the backseat of it all done with clear coat and without. I personally think it may look better without but am worried about damaging the material.

Some of the beautiful brushed aluminium is fairly scratched up by the previous owner and I was thinking of doing this exact mod myself.

without looks better then with imo, i cleared my diffuser and it was so and so.

the material is pretty resiliant, clear coat would really make a big difference imo. you are confusing clear coat with resin, clearcoat is not that durable on this wrap, you would have to resin it, which is a whole different ball game.

to damage this stuff youd have to try to do that.

ok, here are some shots (crappy, because of the overcast weather we're having right now) of my carbon fiber trim done by Raza.

looks good!

1 question though, the trim on the dash left and right of the navi dont seem to sit flush. i recall you sending me titanium trim. do you have all the rivets on the trim and all the ones on the dash too? or is it just the way the shot turned out?

Got mine in the mail about an hour ago. Will put it on this weekend and take pic's I'm like a fat kid who fell into a bowl of jello!!!!!!

hey just sent you an IM. but one more questiuon. to be clear can i have a shop clear coat the parts after i get them back? you mentioned something about not good with clear coat on this fabric. oh and i am dead serious about my parts in my viper as well. thanks

Don't bother clearcoating the fabric. It isn't necessary and it looks MUCH better without the clearcoat.

I'm just finishing up a couple pieces on my car (left rear door, right front door, center console), I'll grab pictures when I'm done. I love this fabric.
