Airwalker bumper with no intercool = FAILx3. And we are talking about a Civic sedan here. A car that was built to be fuel efficient, and carry more than 2 people. There is absolutely NOTHING aggressive looking about a fuel efficient car made to carry 5 people. Your idea of aggressive may be 200hp, and that might be why you disagree. That's fine. My idea of aggressive is a car that nears gallons per mile at WOT......not 35mpg.
Very good points. It will add weight so that use of true cf is gone. It will also take forever and someone who knows what they are doing to lay it down if not it will look like s**t have air bubbles wrinkles and everything else.
What I would like to know is... Why would you wrap something in CF to make it look like CF instead of just saving up and buying real CF.... It's lighter = weight savings. And I don't wanna hear "because I can't afford it". That's why I said "saving up"

.So then according to you, a Ferrari isn't aggressive when in your earlier post you said the car posted looked good with the wrap because it's an aggressive car like a Ferrari? Because a Ferrari does not near gallons per mile at WOT. A Veyron is probably one of the very few cars that would near your description of aggressive.
Top fuel dragsters get .32 MPG at WOT.
You also can't daily drive a top fuel dragster and isn't a realistic car to own. That is if we're talking cars to own.
If we're just talking aggressive looking cars.. Well then. A top fuel dragster doesn't look aggressive to me at all. It just looks efficiently aerodynamic lol.

Okay, so I went to visit my mom and was talking to her boyfriend when I found out he got a 60in x 100ft roll of heavy duty carbon fiber wrap from an auction for like 200 bucks... Being heavy duty, people often cover their cars in it, but those cars are usually supercars, not Hondas... Im thinking of covering my car in it, it looks like the real thing, not like a print out that you get on cheap wrap. First I gotta bondo the cars dings then Im good to go with it. My question is.... Should I do the deed?
Oh and this car has the same wrap on it to give you an example.
eh, don't waste your time, unless bringing attention to your car is what your about.
This is something I can agree with. If your car is going to look ridiculous, at least get some functionality out of it.What I would like to know is...

Excuse me for exaggerating a little bit. Regardless, like I said, a four door economy car is FAR from aggressive.
Do it, just be selective in doing certain parts. Mix it with black or what ever other color you like.
told you so..

^ ROFL... Well I just got off work and to my surprise I had 3 pages to read. I read everything and came to the conclusion that I will get a new paint job (black metallic) when I can afford to blow the money needed for that, and then cover the hood. Thats it. I won't do the trunk cause I think that looks kinda retarded imo. I also might cover the lip, some other ABS plastics on the car, like the factory skirts, soon to come rear lip and maybe some parts of the interior if I ever get round to replacing those poop brown cloth seats in my car or it would just look stupid...
I say this.....
Actually that car is wrapped bro... Check out the website all over the wall it is parked in front of...
If for any reason you still do this, don't just BONDO your car then wrap it.. You would want to paint it properly and THEN you would wrap it because if you bondo it, then seal it, you risk rust....
But I still say kinda what you said, have fun with it and do parts here and there as an accent....

Yeah I came to the realization about bondoing the car today at work and went "f**k, I still gotta paint it!" To be honest, I was just going to cover it as a cheaper alternative to painting the little grocery getter.. Seeing as I have to paint it anyway, im just gonna make it look legit.
This ^^^ Just do like the hood. Or maybe hood/trunk/roof. The whole car in CF would look dumb as well as just purely overdone.
So wait wait.....you were planning on wrapping your entire Civic sedan in carbon fiber....but you think that just getting the hood and trunk done would look retarded?
Hey hey screw you buddy!!! This be the internet. It be srsbsns.
