| it was about this time my second son was born which put some down time on my car, but it gave me time to look into painting the body kit. I really didnt want to be like those idiots who drive around with an unpainted body kits on a civic. I wanted the body kit to look completed the first day i drive with it. After seeing what it was going to cost to get a custom paint job in japan, I started looking for other options. one of my friends had just wrapped his gas cap in some 3M Di noc carbon fiber vinyl, and i thought it would look cool to do the whole front half of my car in it. the vinyl would only cost about 1/4 the cost of paint. so, i ordered it. here you can see the single weave wet carbon front splitter. it looks amazing! |

| after watching a few videos on youtube on how to apply Di-noc film, I decided to give it a go. 3M Di-noc, is really easy to work with... unless it is patterned. it streches easily with a heat gun, but you have to be very careful not to stretch it too far because the carbon pattern will warp. now i know why body shops charge so much to apply this stuff. |

| the best part about this Di-noc is that if you do over stretch it you can peel it off and hit it with the heat gun and it will shrink back to normal. I had to do alot of that on my first piece. this was afterall, my first time applying vinyl. |

| this first piece took me about 6 hours to do because i kept having to start over. stretching the carbon over conical surfaces is really hard without warping or causing wrinkles. |

| first day in public with the new body kit. I was turning sooo many heads in this thing. Since the front fenders bring the body out 20mm on each side i chose to get some 25mm spacers to bring the wheels out to match. and of course i have the 50mm spacers on the rear. |

| since the body was a huge eye catcher it was time to get rid of those stock wheels that drag the overall look of the car down. I opted for some 16x7 "Effect Wheels: europa" in electro blue, with 205/40r16 faulken azenis rt615k tires. |

| i absolutely love these tires!! they have tons of grip. and i can max my cappo out at about 200kph with full confidence in control. the down side is that I can no longer drive sideways when i want to. |

Can you tell me if you have the type1 spoiler or type 2?
Type 2 is 3cm longer, I'm currently in talks with streeter to get me one but don't know which I'd prefer,
Thanks

Good work with the di-noc!
How come you get 'A' plates - I though you just had 'Y'?

I received a quote from Jesse, there are two sizes of spoiler type 1 and type 2, type 2 is 3cm taller than type 1, both type 1 &2 are now available in frp and carbon fibre.
nearly £500 delivered to uk for the type 2 in frp
