I cleared them already; You just have to sand the back, and it clears it and leaves the stars silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkOblivion000 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Layer the CF? what do you mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTGT Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 In for pics. Trunk area could look cool I think subtle accents of CF around the car but nothing too much. I was thinking I would eventually Do this one my 05 BMS: CF Grille, Hoodscoop/Lipextender, s402 style wing, and very subtle diffuser. Pretty clean IMO.

DeGioiaGT Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 if you do one layer over a light surface itll show threw the cracks but if you do another one it wont. for a badge tho you can just lay the cf in and paint the back of it black and youll be fine.

Ahhh ok. That's exactly what I'll do then. Hopefully the CF will come in soon and I can see what I have to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnAWD Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 IMNSHO any carbon fiber is too much. Recently I ran over a tire on the interstate and pretty much destroyed my STI V-limited lip for my JDM spec b bumper. Instead of going the cheap or easy route with repairing this, I decided to try my hand at some carbon fiber work. Fast forward a few days and my lip is turning out nicely and I now have more confidence in taking on other exterior pieces. My question is, how much carbon fiber is a tastefull amount? Obviously my Lip will be CF, but I was also thinking about wrapping other parts that I have seen offered before in CF. My main interests are the mirror scalps, B pillar cover, and possibly even a rear window spoiler, or diffuser. Do you guys think this is too much? Im not looking to add mass amounts of carbon fiber but more like a few touches. Also Does anybody know how to get the faux wood plates off the doors? I want to get rid of the wood.

JonLGT Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 The lip came out pretty good, after seeing it in the daylight I see more places that need to be sanded some. Pics soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkOblivion000 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 IMNSHO any carbon fiber is too much. Well then you are posting in the wrong thread my friend. It's like posting in a thread about fat chicks when you hate fat chicks. Why would you even click on a thread about fat chicks? The lip came out pretty good, after seeing it in the daylight I see more places that need to be sanded some. Pics soon. Where did you get the lip from? RBS?

VTGT Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 How about the rear bumper trim in carbon fiber, I know K2 makes one for the JDM legacy bumper and Creo fitted it to his USDM bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkOblivion000 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Haha so speaking of lips (sorry off topic) I read this thread where this guy went to home depot, bought garage door sealer (the rubber strip thing) and screwed it into his bumper. And honestly, it actually looks pretty good for how damn cheap it was (like $15). I'm actually a little tempted to do it... but with 3M mounting tape instead of screws. I don't want a buncha screw holes in my bumper... Thoughts? http://i533.photobucket.com/albums/ee338/Subaruowner7/Lip2.jpg http://i533.photobucket.com/albums/ee338/Subaruowner7/Lip3.jpg http://i533.photobucket.com/albums/ee338/Subaruowner7/SubieAvt2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonLGT Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 It has been done before. Plenty of people have DIY lips. Mine is a JDM STI for the JDM spec B bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
