why not just CF wrap it? They are already lighter than any real CF would be.

For the diffuser correct? I suggested that and he said that the wrap wouldn't hold to the plastic trim over time. That suggestion is what started me talking about this forum to him and how there aren't major vendors backing our cars and what lead to him and I wanting to start making visual upgrades.

Listen if he can make me a lip similar to the one posted I will buy it right now. Preferably made from a decent material to save money. In all honesty, I don't want to spend $800 on something from Korea. Though this is more for Five/Sedan I can still wish lol

I want this lip kit too so I'll definitely be pushing the idea to get it haha. He is really into doing KIA's right now. When I was there he had two optima's, a forte, and a soul waiting to get tint, exhaust, wheels and drop. Among a bunch of others cars there but nothing worth looking at because his damn Club Racer Exige kills the curve lol.

Get it done at Wu-Wraps. They're the shit. They wrap all types of things. check out their Page on FB. Too bad they're far from you.

Kinetic has a CF wrap for the Koup's diffuser. They also warranty it for 5 years or 50,000 miles. There's a way to do it...

Good product idea but I too would like a different hatch spoiler option. Something a little longer with a slight kick upwards would do a lot for the airflow behind the car. In any case its nice to see someone out there giving it a go.

If you apply 3M 1080i Carbon Fiber Vinyl Wrap with the correct 3M Primer 94 coat and Edge Sealer 3950 the vinyl will last 5-8 years....is that not long enough??

I am currently dealing with my own vinyl wrap addiction. I have even started to apply different vinyls to things around my house!!

Also does anybody know if side skirts for the sedan will fit the 5? the sides seem identical i haven't gotten up close to a sedan to compare.

sedan side skirts DO fit the 5.
