HOW-TO 4D CARBON FIBER HOOD WRAP | FK7 HONDA CIVIC CARBON FIBER HOOD WRAP

[@johnvu6560]

Im a novice, but just to let you know I was able to wrap my car because of your videos & it came out super clean. Thanks

[@ctoeasy6960]

Can I see pics?

[@jdgotmilk2249]

Where did you buy the wrap

[@thomasreddick5908]

What did something like this cost you?

[@devilz3494]

@@thomasreddick5908 depends on many things like the size, type of wrap & color. Usually around 6-800 for the wrap & just do it yourself. Shops in my area charge 3k now bc price of material has gone up

[@philipasmith44]

I wanted to say.... this is the best video tutorial on how to wrap carbon fiber. I've watched probably 30 different videos as I'm going to be attempting 7d carbon on my 1994 bmw 325i next week.

[@Ashley-ui9oy]

“Can’t see, can’t cut.” Seems intuitive, but how many times have I messed this part up? You’re a great teacher!

[@ducebigalow8834]

looks good, but I would have also done the small bit between the grill and hood. That blue really stands out now.

[@macbitz]

Now that you've pointed it out, I can't unsee it... lol

[@deerkings]

No that is part of the bumper lol that is just me

[@ducebigalow8834]

Brent King oh yah. It stands out way to much ☺

[@marcomunoz7731]

First thing I thought of when I saw it

[@dcchicken75]

100% same thought!

[@BlkHwkGator]

Man, You're like the modern age Bob Ross of vehicles lol. Today on, the joy of wrapping. Awesome work!

[@xTheRebellion]

I've tried wrapping stuff 3 times now. I watch your videos, and then I'm sure I can go and do it. You make it look easy. My work always ends up looking bad, especially around corners and curves/bends. I couldn't imagine trying to do something as large as a hood.

[@SefilASY]

right? right ? yesterday I wrap my cars front bumpers bottem lip. It was just a straight line but it looked awful. All material has gone to trash.

[@nathanmellott2262]

I used this stuff to wrap a bunch of interior pieces on my 9th gen Si, and i absolutely loved it! watching this video gave me enough confidence to order a big roll of it and try to wrap my hood!

[@vctrflrs3687]

Doing my hood and roof white 4d carbon on my graphite-like grey Mazda 3 hatch sport💪🏽 with red accents everywhere also white body kit

[@aussieflyer70]

Attempted my first wrap on the hood of my car the other day, first attempt was a fail, wrap stuck to itself and when i tried to separate it split so had to remove it, second attempt went better but not 100% perfect and was using carbon fibre 3m wrap, over stretched in a couple of places and pattern got a little distorted, hopefully my attempt at doing the roof goes better. Thanks for your awesome videos....cheers from downunder. Belated Happy Birthday to your wife.....hope she wasnt too hard on ya...lol

[@eastcoast78]

Tip, get a plate cover with your company name on it and stick it over peoples plate for the vids. ;) Great channel man.

[@doriangray2020]

You must be one of those weird internet stalkers.

[@branndon2086]

A little tip if you get any dirt or debris on the on the vinyl, use tape rather than a razor blade. The dirt or debris will stick to the tape and won't damage the vinyl.

[@fangraverwolf5154]

First vid I've found where I can see you actually moving the car when you pull on the wrap

[@kkleinert]

I'm always learning something new from your videos. I do agree with some of the commenters here about real vs vinyl but I just want to say something about that. My son bought an FRS with a real carbon fiber hood and, like all other real cf hoods, it was already getting cloudy and it cracked around the stress points so now he is going to replace that one with a steel one. Real cf is expensive and doesn't last. If you're silly enough to spend all that money on a street car vs race car, that's your business but you still look silly if it's your daily driver and not your track car. At least with the wrap, you can replace it for a lot less when it fails than the real thing. So don't be a hater, it's about personal taste. Great job Chris! Happy belated birthday to your wife.

[@rolandob4492]

Keith i mean you can protect carbon fiber with coating but you son of course didn’t do that

[@LearnWithEase87]

Also alot of cars use aluminium instead of steel for the hood now. CF weighs maybe only a few lbs less and cost a crap load more.

[@shadowblack1987]

Real CF hood last for ever lol They are expensive though, they start at $1000+ for a CF top hood with alu bottom

[@marko9657]

First attempt on my hood wasn't good. I watched this guy a few times and it was rough. This takes some skill.

[@GarryMichaelSmith]

Watched just about all your videos now, building up to my first wrap attempt. I’ve done a few small pieces but nothing as large as a panel. Keep up the good work, really like your approach and just do it method. Thank you.

[@shahrulziman7950]

This is probably the most details video about wrapping that I've ever seen.. Thanks for the tips

[@anneplowman9034]

Hey! I just wanted you to know, I really appreciate your channel on KZbin. I have a civic coup and I carbon fiber wrapped the interior dash and gear box panel today, and I honestly think your channel helped me *the most* with getting it right. I really took my time and it turned out great! It was my first attempt and it could have easily been a waste of vinyl had it not been for your quality instruction. Cheers! The first after market project I have ever done.

[@madchild736]

I just wrapped my 09 altima hood in vvivid carbon fiber and I’ve pretty much watched all your videos and even doing so it still took me 2 hrs and with a couple bubbles but it’s my first wrap so I just wanted to say thank you and you’re a beast bruh. -MC-

[@KainOfNosgoth]

That looked very difficult for a beginner, and you did a great job.

[@xcvx16]

Nice thing about the manual hood prop is that you never have to replace the gas springs that inevitably wear out. I prefer having the OEM prop. Worked better than my ski pole I used in the Jeep Grand.

[@glitchthecat5011]

Exactly...if we wanted a hydraulic prop that will wear out before the engine we would buy an acura lol..or we could waste money on manufacturers that don't prioritize safety and reliability..I know someone who lost a thumb because his clients 2016 beamers hood bit him..he ended up replacing the hydraulic prop lol

Hey man, that hood prop will still work 20 years from now. The shocks wont.

[@madeleinegillett5892]

We never have any problem with them in our honda garage here in the UK. Dunno why he might 😂

[@esaedvik]

@@madeleinegillett5892 Never had a shock go out? Impressive. That said, the hatches on these cars don't weigh that much, rear hatch on my Firebird weighed like 60+ kg :D

[@madeleinegillett5892]

@@esaedvik we have the normal good props and I've known then to carry on through a bloody long time. I've seen a type 1 civic with the original prop still in play. And yeah the bonnets on the new civics are heavy as anything but the normal prop works fine.

What hood prop is this?

[@carlosyt2]

haha I scrolled down here just to complain about him complaining but looks like it's been done already lol

[@benjamindale3895]

Be confident, don't overstate car knowledge, stick to to loving the wrap material, listening to you talk about why you like that stuff was the best most smoothly flowing part of the video 👌 also the manual hood prop for 20 years so the car doesn't eat me when it comes into the shop and the owner has neglected to replace the gas struts so they give out half way through replacing that wimpy 51 group battery. I wish I had a shop bro sick content 👍👍👍

[@Lon3wolfTV]

The car looks sick with only the hood covered in Carbon!!!! Nice job, really well explained, love it!

[@rldays9179]

I'm about to wrap my hood with carbon fibre. First wrap I have ever done so should be fun.... I hope. I watched the videos from fespa before watching yours so will try their method first. Less heat used and less repulling of the wrap. Look at me thinking I know everything. Will soon find out.

[@TheWetCanadian]

The true R carbon fibre looks soooo much better under direct sunlight vs LED lights too. You’ll be happy with it. Looks amazing Christian 👌🏻

[@Ron4885]

I agree. Plus I really love the original blue color of the car. That's nice.

[@MrSlater0239]

I have zero patience to do this, but I enjoy watching your videos. Great job

[@codylawellin8751]

Couple questions 1. Why 70% and not 91% isopropyl alcohol 2. Why not wearing gloves the entire time 3. Why didn’t you tuck the wrap underneath the hood 4. Why is the wrap direction going from passenger window to driver side bumper 5. What is 4D about that wrap

[@fangraverwolf5154]

If you listen closely you can hear how the wrap is 4D it has texture that can be felt rather than seen

Totally agree with you on the hood support. My Renault duster, such a simple car has gas pistons to open the hood. And costs half the Honda civic

[@Myrtlebeachskyline]

Thank you for the master class, I love how you explain what you are doing and why. This is a very difficult task and you make it look so good and easy. Because of your video I feel like I can get some trim pieces wrapped on my R33 GTR and do a decent job at that. Thank you.

Do you have a link to that wrap! I'm gonna try this

[@pedromorales1863]

I have wrapped before on flatter surfaces. I have the exact car you are using in this video and let me tell you. One , I did not open the whole wrap, all at once. Way to messy. I did one half at a time. Otherwise, I would have to lift and lay down a million times. You are amazing with that vynil texture. I used Vivid as well, just different carbon fiber and color. Watching your video defines helped with those edges. Patience is key and you are a Pro. Respect

[@pedromorales1863]

Definitely*

Nice video its nice you talked about the whole process while your doing the job

Ohhh well, here we go with the Vvivid Carbone Wrap!!.. The wrap I bought for my Hood and Hatchback is semi gloss and satin and I have seen now 50 of your Videos!!. I know I can do it, but I still kinda hesitant.. I will do my Kia Sportage Hood but it to cold right now to do so.. and I am not a tall Person.. lol.. I guess besides messing the Wrap up.. lol.. I think I am prepared now, due to your training Videos.. Wish me luck for my Project.. lol.. 😉💯😁.. I did my Backlights and Headlights, did it perfectly!!!

[@yunggunz3000]

I have the same hood. 18 Civic Si and I just bought the same wrap. I hope to see the roof and trunk video as well. I bought the premium plus carbon fiber as well and it seems easier to work with than the XPO True Carbon fiber. Thanks for the video. I learned a lot watching your videos.

[@James-ns6jm]

Umm the price difference for a real carbon fibre hood vs the wrap is about 20x as much. So for most people getting something that looks just as good as the real thing for 20x less price they will. Only certain people will be able to tell the difference such as motor enthusiasts or retailers. Most average person would not.

[@mteske1]

Hey bro you are freaking good. I've learned a lot from watching you. Thank you

[@aaronmurciano4738]

I think the manual hood prop saves a little bit of weight, and also gives ability to prop up hood in 2 spots. I upgraded mine and got some hood dampers, but thats just me.

[@tyebrowne9344]

I am a beginner. 1st wrap I ripped it too damn easy pulling it up. 2nd attempt I got half the hood but ripped again. As I watched this video I see how you grab the edges and pull at the same time. I was pulling in one spot and tearing it too easy. Ill keep trying. Half of the hood looks sexy, the other half looks so distorted. Btw im using the same wrap.Thanks for the videos!

Do you do anything to "prepare" for wrapping areas with rock chips? I have the exact same color but in the coupe version and I have a few rock chips on my hood and I'm about to wrap the hood but I don't want it getting all screwed up when or if I decide to remove the wrap.

[@bishipc117]

Do you guys have a video where you’ve wrapped like a Subaru WRX hood with the scoop in the middle. How does one tackle that opening or do you just wrap it like you would a normal vehicle and then deal with the opening afterwards. Do you have a link for the squeegee that you use. Ps I love the videos they’re great.

Although I do not understand all of your explanations, because my English is very bad, but by the fact that you always clearly show your attitudes and your use of the body, even I understand the whole. :-) Once again a big thank you, that you communicate this technique understandably to me and others, I can not say this often enough. greetings from Germany this text was written with translated program, sorry.

Another great job. The only thing I don't like about the matte or satin 'carbon' vinyl is that it isn't realistic. What I mean is, in reality the only matte or satin carbon fiber is 'dry' carbon on race cars/bikes. If the vinyl were gloss, it would look much better.
