'Carbon fibre' wrap? You could do some interior pieces or something like that.

Re: cheap mod ideas
Well I have never tinted windows so I couldn't comment on that but I covered the B-pillar trims with it. I will say that it was quite a fiddly job, the key to it is heat though. The more heat the better really, the material is really quite incredible stuff.

I tinted all my windows but took the glass out to do it. Makes it much eaiser. I just sat and watched tv while doing it in the living room.
All in all a pretty simple job if you take your time. and dont buy cheap tint.
I am yet to tackel the rear however.

Re: cheap mod ideas
oh, lol ive tinted my windows, rear included, and there perfect, even if i do say so myself.
done quite a few now so even with the cheepest of tint films i can do a reasonable job, i like doing mine in the shower! i was just wondering how difficult the vynal carbon fibre is to apply in comparisom?
also not proud but i do have fluffy dice, they only come out on special occasions tho!!

Re: cheap mod ideas
The 'carbon' is a snip to apply compaired to a rear window tint IMO!
I think the key to it was my GFs fancy hair dryier. Mush hotter than a regular one but not as much heat as in a heat gun.
Work a treat, not a crinkle line in sight through some interesting contours.
Make sure you get the '3M' backed sheet if you try it.

Re: cheap mod ideas
get yourself to halfords and buy yourself some quality stick on products, maybes some bonnet vents?
On a more sensible note though, i have some black rear lights for sale for cheap.
