say you don't like how it came out.... how hard is it to remove the wrap/glue from the entire body surface? also, I think you need to start with a GPP or Black car for this to looks good, imo.

also, from a distance with a slight layer of dirt on it, it will look like it's primed.

That's what I'd like to know too... atleast with vinyls and stuff they can be easily removed... but how hard is carbon?

I saw a Mazda6 done up in carbon fiber before... but it was a show car. I've never seen a whole car done in carbon fiber for daily driving.

But yeah... you already bought the product... so just go for it and see what happens.

im using the 3M DI-NOC, it already has glue on it which is 100% removable and could even be reused, its actually vinyl so i can be stretched and shrunk with a heat gun...lasts 5-6 years and completely washable

I've seen vinyl but never this stuff. Wow, the whole car?

Maybe start with the roof or something to be sure you like it?

IMO, if I was going to do a car in carbon fiber, I would use real carbon fiber panels, not wrap, but that would be a lot of money. The wrap on the STI looks flat, but good luck to you and your quest and post pics when it's done.
