Cheap DIY mini-project

Met DrD at Racing Fit this morning. Their workshop is full, so I won't be installing the security system today. Maybe next week.

1. Do you notice anything different here:


2. Maybe not, but what about this one? Answer: carbon fibre B-pillars stickers. Bought at Brothers for RM 18.50, enough for the B- and C-pillars.


3. Clean the B-pillars. I didn't have alcohol, so its tissue and water. Get the measurements.


4. Cutting out the sticker to size was the most difficult part of this DIY. Sticking it on was easy.


5. The finished product... ta-dah!


Conclusion:
- If you wanna do this, please get good quality carbon-fibre stickers. The ones I got from brothers are not so good quality = will not last long, and has smudges.
- For best aesthetic look, make sure the carbon fibre boxes line up. Mine is slightly off :(
- Get the measurements right. However, when sticking it on, it may stretch, so compensate a little.
