Latest pics. Tomorrow rear bumper and driver lip/sideskirt.
After that the nightmare begins.

P.S. Yes theres a line on trunk. It impossible to wrap it all the way without messing up. At least with this vinyl. But w/e i dont mind it.
P.P.S. Driver's key lock gone bad, and I was thinking about putting on cover. But offtopic question: What if remote doesnt work. How could I open the car then? Other than opening trunk and replacing car battery (shouldn't be problem for next year or so)
P.P.P.S. Tail lights look so badass. *jaw-dropped*
P.P.P.P.S. Rice haters feel free to write hate message, I am friendly :)

Is that a CF frame or just a vinyl all across? Looks good so far.

I wish it was all CF. I think CF bumper only costs 1k+
But yes it's a wrap.

Phew that's amazing!

Looks amazing, but it's a Be Em Double Fake. But still, great job :o

Yea, it's fake kinda. But it's still BMW :ott1:

The only full carbon fiber car I saw was at porsche dealer. And it was gone the other day...

thats pretty sexy man nice work

Goood work man , looking forward to see the latest result :)

Wow... great progress. The best thing I can is change spark plugs :P

I love that color on bmws <33

It's starting to look quite good now. Upload pictures as your progress continues, I can't wait to see what the finished product looks like.

Fuck, that looks amazing - regardless of whether or not it's fake. When its complete, you're gonna be pullin' bitches like your a magnet. They won't know that its fake, unless they're wrench monkeys of course.

Nice pattern.
You'll think this progress is going to be done this year? :P

I was going to be done with rear bumper and lip today. But I will try to get front bumper done as well.

Btw the rims are quiet bad condition. Until I can save up for suspension and new wheels, I gotta use the ones I have. So I was thinking about maybe plasti-dip?

I love it

I can't even build a computer, never mind building a whole car from scratch. Looks amazing so far, doing good so far.

Rear bumper done. Not so great but better than I expected. Bubbles shall be worked out later on but there is cut and few shitty areas.
Before you shit, please buy feet by feet sheet and try to wrap your mom's van. kthxbye

I ordered chinese carbon fiber vinyl and paid $300 for 1.5m*60m
Ordered one that comes with air tunnels for no bubbles, but they sent me shitty one without air tunnels. Had to deal with it.

3M Vinyl would be much better but its way more expensive.

So far I used maybe half of one 30m roll. Pretty cheap.

You can try to get one roll (30m) of matte silver from china but make sure it has air tunnels. Should cost you around $200 but yet you can wrap whole car and still have a lot left.

I think chinese one is good to train on, but for pro look, go for 3M.

So to answer your question in short it cost about $100 in material and maybe 20 hours of installation.

Also here is finished product and fast walk around (turn off sound)

Looks pretty sick, imo. Overall job is amazing, but the lights are garbage :/: ..

Not gonna lie, lenses were bad. Thought I would tint them but ended up over-tinting. And atm dont have $200 for lenses. Almost half of every paycheck goes into car...

is this a real car customization hobby of yours TS? :) thats amazing! coz here in philippines only few cars are modified and been customize by their owners

This looks awesome o.O I want one
