just did carbon wrap for my friend G today!! turn out great but i am afraid it will not stand the summer heat!!

 

It will I have some in the engine bay and its still like it was when I first put it in.

 

Post pics of the wrap!

 

What did you wrap, any pics? I ordered some di-noc for my roof doesn't look like a hard job but i may wanna have someone with a lil experience around

 

di noc looks like crap imo on the outside. Its not glossy enough. thats why sd genius went with the 1080 i thk

 

Yea he told me what to buy, i got 1080...thought di-noc was a generic name

 

dinoc looks like dry carbon, you can add clear coats to it to bring out some gloss.

 

I wouldnt suggest clearcoating any decals. if not done right can fisheye really easy. It also can lose adhesion and clear could just flake off or solvents could soak in and mess up the carbon. I want a cf roof cap, no stickers for me

 

Got an oil change yesterday at a local shop in Fort Worth. After telling them my car was low and you've got to use boards to get it on the lift, they of course didn't listen. When backing off the lift they tore up both of my undercarriage splash guards and also scratched my exhaust brace. They did not let me know this and the only way I found out was hearing a scraping sound while driving home...
As you could immagine I was very POed and went back to the shop to see what they would do. The guy said he could bend them back up and I said he11 no, it wasn't like that before and you will fix it all. After getting him to agree that he should have to pay for repairs, he told me to go to another shitty body shop of which my (not that low) G couldn't even drive up their GRASS driveway. I laughed and went to THE BEST local shop in Fort Worth, Pro-Tuning Performance. Kyle and Forrest always take care of me and were perplexed how someone could do such a thing on a simple oil change, but showed me what needed to be replaced and gave me a quote to take back.
After I went back to the original shop (G&M Tire and Auto) he said that I was making a "mountain out of a mole hill", that "nobody drives around looking at the underside of your car", and that he's sad to lose a customer because he'll never work on my car again (thank jeebus). All in all, he is going to pay for the damage but just check out what a hassle a simple oil change can be. I'm doing it myself next time...

Exhaust Brace (some old scratches are mine but they deserve to replace all):


And the damage:

 

just as an f.y.i to anyone..just bring your car to my house if you want your oil changed or anything done fluids wise..I know im out in Mckinney area but no offense I have race ramps now for lowered cars, you wont leave with dinged up/scratched car etc.....I am very reasonable if you just bring your own fluids and pay for the time and service. or even better if you just want to toss me a couple of extra dollars on the weekend I will bring my tools and crap to your place and perform the job there if need be if you dont feel like driving all the way out to my house

 

just paid marty for his v1 art pipes. im stoked for the tune now.

 

nice plug chris..

 

Did you get yours in the mail yet? My ramps barely clear my lip. Thank God.

My pistons are out of stock so I have to wait an extra 5 days or so for them to get in.

 

Dylan if you need them installed just give me a ring! rob knows that I have extensions to make this job a breeze!

i get tired of members posting pics of rides getting damaged and taking it to some shop that cant do lowered cars...you know what I mean.

 

yes I got mine in the mail..almost damaged them lastnight on first time used....didnt realize my jack was on the edge of the bottom of the ramp when I was jacking up the TL I was working on adn it put an indention on the end of the ramp...what are yours rated at weight wise? mine say 1500lbs max.
