Installing tomorrow carbon fiber adhesive
 

Hey guys,
Just wanted to share with you that tomorrow I will install an 3M Carbon Fiber adhesive film called branded as "DI-NOC" , does anyone have heard about it ?

They are giving me a 5 year warranty if its installed by a certified 3M installer, I'm just covering the whole roof starting from the roof rails, and thinking on taking off my roof racks in order to give a sleek look to the roof.

Also thinking in covering the center door pillars ....

I found it cheap, $150 U.S, dollars installed !

I will post pictures (if possible tomorrow) night

On the roof, what in the heck for? Seems like a waste of $150 for something some people aren't tall enough to even see. Sobi showed me YouTube videos of guys covering their entire cars in this stuff...makes no sense to me. MrBMWX5 has pics of DI-NOC installed on all of his interior wood trim, links to where he bought the stuff, etc.

Well, I'm 6'4, tall enough to see the complete roof line of my car ............don't like it, please don't see the pictures.......jejeje

i think its gonna look good. i really like the way the CF looks on the M3, it'll prob look sweet on the X6

So am I, but most people aren't. I don't have a problem w/ it, I just don't see the point...eventually it's going to peel, then you've probably ruined a perfectly good paintjob or you'll have to redo the CF wrap all over again. Then again, only doing the roof as opposed to the whole car isn't bad. There's a member on here who painted his roof black, looked unique.

here you go. flat pearl white, with gloss black on top

Here some "better" pictures of my new carbon-like roof look, the actual look is darker and more matt but it was a very sunny day, so I got too much reflex from the sun, next week I will post same pictures with my new set of style 214 wheels.

You are right when you say about peeling off, but the 3M installer gave me a 3 year warranty against peeling and a 5 year warranty against product defects.

Check the following pic my Audi A6 that I painted glossy black

:thumbup:

Love it, IMO the next move is getting some 20 or 21 inch wheels. it'll make the world of difference

It looks sweet. Nice job.:wow:

:thumbup:It does look good bro, I stand corrected. Should have came that way from the factory. That second pic threw me off for a second there, the pixelation in the picture made it look like a diecast model.

Thanks, Im getting the 20" wheels this coming week, style 214 with Toyo Proxes ST, I will post pics as soon as I have all the party installed

By the way nice car you have too !

Looks great!!

I agree with the bigger wheels, maybe in black!?

Can you put a clear coat over the decal? Shiny carbon fiber (M3 / M6) looks much nicer.

With out clear coat.

With one coat of clear..

If you put two coats of clear the carbon fiber pattern doesn't show any more.

going for factory silver, don't like the look of 214's in black

I see a brush on the table. Did you brush the clearcoat, or spray it?

Bump for wanting to know how you applied the clearcoat. Also, how well does that stuff stand up to heat? I've been toying w/ the idea of covering my bike fairing instead of replacing them. Might be overkill though.

Just stumbled on this thread. The carbon on the white X6 looks SWEEEEET!!!
