Thanks Shane. Did you get your's done with these guys? IIRC, I think you did it yourself and got the stuff off ebay... but it was a while ago I read that, so cannot remember accurately.

i got my 3m carbon of ebay, becareful as the 3m carbon is not meant for oudoor use. i have since removed it and no longer have any in or on my car as it started to lift because of the excess heat.

the companies link i posted have the correct product for use on cars. i will be using the company in the future

Thanks for the heads-up... guess one cannot be sure its the genuine stuff and just have to trust that the seller is telling the truth.

I found someone in Melb that is selling it on ebay, asked whether its genuine and was told its not. At least they're honest.

Not 3M but its TR1...

TR1 :?

I bought some '3M double sided tape' off Ebay once....

When I got it, the tape actually says '3MM' on it.....
Copied every aspect of the 3M tape, and just put 3MM on it instead, yet the seller showed tape with 3M in the photos.

I also found an eBay seller in Melbourne about 2 weeks ago, for 3m DI NOC CF wrap and when I organised a COD pickup I found it was not 3M DI NOC, so I politely inidcated that I was only after the genuine stuff and left him with the goods and saved my cash.

The went and order a test sheet from Sublime. Good response and the right stuff, delivered within two days. But AU post had to bend the heavy cardboard packaging that had big bold lettering - DO NOT BEND. I guess they saw it as an irresistable challenge. :angry2:

Did the little chrome plastic surround on the Auto transmission shift / console plate as it keeps reflecting sunlight up under my sunglasses. Stopped that problem!

A bit of heat and the crease will come right out. The beauty of the stuff is it's near indestructible and will return to original form with some heat.

Yep, the product was good, but just annoyed with AU Post.

[quote="Devour"]Hey Guys,

But i was helping out a mate with his subaru weathershields and i ended up snapping his weathershield. He said instead of replacing it, we can just wrap it but you have to pay for the wrap.

I think it looks great Aaron, good job! :D

But what's this about 'helping' a mate and accidentaly braking and being made to pay for repairs? That's a bit harsh, I know you ended up with a country mile of left overs and looks the goods though.

I like the OP's use of it in the interior, above picture went a liiiitle bit too far for my liking... :P


I don't mind it on the rear bar either, that looks kinda cool! I could imagine how easy it is to get addicted to though, especially once you figure out how to use it properly! :P

I didn't like the OP's use of it on the rear tail-light initially, but in contrast to the next pic where he showed in Chrome, hmmmmmm, i think i like the Carbon Fibre better....Especially considering the colour of the car.




I hope it manages to stay ok throughout the weather mate, i like the look of it! :)

OK i just caught the bug, practiced on the WRX first and turned out well :) now to choose what to do in the Blitzen without going overboard :wink: this stuff gets addictive to install as i find myself looking around the house for likely candidates, TV remote? surround speakers? microwave panel? God! why can't i leave things the way they were!!!!!!! :lol:
