Carbon Fiber Mod for Impul Rear Valence
Carbon Fiber Mod for Impul Rear Valence
I ordered some real carbon fiber film from slymachines.com and applied the overlay over my Impul rear valance.
Quality of the carbon fiber sheet: Excellent, cuts very easily with a good sissor or blade. It is UV coated and seems very durable enough to put around my exhaust outlets. My paint around the exhaust was starting to discolor from the heat, so I decided to apply the film completely around the exhaust outlet. Had to take off my HKS tips, which was simple enough. The adhesive is 3M automotive glue, so you get once chance at the application stage.
Installation: Comes with matching tracer sheet, which is basically a clear strip of plastic with light glue so you can you stick on the area as a tracer sheet, trace, peel off and apply to the carbon fiber sheet and cut. It bends around slight curves, but too firm for big angles or curved areas.
Enjoy the pics!

Thanks for the feedback guys, I'm not exactly the sticker dude. It does definitely look better from afar. The angle of the carbon fiber side is such that I had to take those picture lying on the ground. at standing or driving level, the not so perfect cuts are not as apparent. I'm happy with it.
The material is FRP or basically fiberglass. The paint match is very difficult on the Ivory Pearl, and had it painted twice.
You can buy the Impul kit from HP Autoworks or Bulletproof Automotive.
