Ok another name for it is hydro dipping. I know it's a cloth or design. Dipping is the process of putting it on.

Take it to the nearest Oriental restaurant of your choice and have them DIP it in rice.

That looks like shit and doesn't even resemble a real carbon fiber weave pattern. You're better off just having it wrapped with 3M Di-Noc carbon fiber material.

Buy the material here: Carbon Fiber Film - 3M DI-NOC Carbon Fiber Vinyl for sale as well as galleries and information (http://www.carbonfiberfilm.com/)

Read the info on the site, and do it yourself (using 3M 77 adhesive if needed).

ok thanks one more question: My spoiler is currently red....do you think I should paint it black to look closer to real carbon fiber or will the film hide the red?

:roll: DI-NOC is just like a heavy duty vynl you should be fine

understand it only in dry carbon so if you want it glossy your gonna have to paint it

I Used DI-NOC for my scratched to hell radio trim in the 240,people actually ask me where did I got that done and how much did it cost :lol: i say about 30$

The color of the spoiler won't show through the 3M material, you'll be fine.
