Maybe the stuff I used was just really bad. The thread for the 944 looks good and he did some curves I can't imagine doing that with the decal fx stuff I got.

I dont think what I used was the 3m quality it was sold by decalfx and I was not able to reposition very well. I did use their smoking tint and that was fine and easy to use. I ordered mine a while ago before I knew about the 3m carbon fiber. Theirs looks more promising and may order some to play around with.

I have already apologized - guess you missed that? I think it is pretty self explanatory. I have no intention of restating my objections and letting this thread drift away again from the OP. You can PM me if you want to continue that discussion.

Apparently ebay is cheaper to get the Di-Noc from. $27.99 shipped for a 1'x4'. That is more than enough for what I have planned!

Does anyone know how to remove the door vent trims though???

It says Di-Noc on it.

However, I like Sticker City's package. for $42 shipped you get the Di-Noc plus the installation kit with a felt squeegee.

How much are you gonna save? The 3M stuff has a shelf life and storage requirements. I would be a bit concerned if the seller is an individual - if they are a supplier you are probably good to go.

Sorry, but phoney carbon fiber trim on a Porsche is about as convincing (and functional) as vinyl wood siding on a Chrysler K-car.

Tacky, tacky, tacky. Just my opinion, of course - YMMV.

I had a 2006 BMW Z4M with that interior. It looks hokey. I loved the car so much I put up with it since I
got a KILLER deal on it. But it doesnt look good with out the clear coat on it. I would not go to the trouble to recreate a look I didnt like in the first place.

I like the look in general... different strokes for different folks. Everything in moderation is best though!

But when you add a really big wing to the back, it makes it all better, lets the world know where you stand.
