3D Carbon Fiber Lower Bumper Overlay
This vinyl piece is long overdue! Inspired by the S207, it covers the lower portion of the bumper. It adds great contrast to the bumper and has a unique, raw carbon fiber like finish. Covers and prevents additional paint damage to this area as well.
The premium material is it is made with is rated for 5 years of outdoor durability. Built in air egress liner makes installs much easier.
This is a vinyl product and has no actual carbon fiber content. Machine cut. This is NOT a universal product. The material has been cut down specifically for this application.

Installation
It is easier to install this piece without a front lip mounted to the bumper. Without a lip present, you can stretch the material with heat underneath the bumper with ease. However, we installed this by loosening the front lip but not completely removing it.
NOTE: This material responds well to heat. It aids in contouring / stretching and removing creases. It also makes the material adhere to surfaces better. Do not overheat the material. A general rule of thumb is that if you can take the heat without burning yourself, then the material can as well.
Recommended items:
- Hair Dryer / Heat Gun
- Soapy water mix / Quick detailer spray
- Friend (recommended)
Clean the surface of your lower bumper. Leave a water / soap mixture on the surface and apply this mixture or quick detailer to the bottom of the overlay as well. This will make it easier to slide the overlay into position. Once you have centered the overlay, push out the remaining water / air bubbles with your fingers. Be sure not to damage the material.
Once the center portion is placed down and the alignment is proper, slowly use heat to conform the ends, one side at a time.
Use a hair dryer or heat gun (apply light heat) on the corners. This heats up the adhesive and allows the material to stretch and fit all contours. Here's where your buddy can help the most. Have them heat up the area you are working on as you stretch the material with your fingers. With heat, you can stretch and massage out almost any crease. Allow 24-48 hours before washing vehicle. Having the vehicle sit in direct sunlight for a period of time helps the material bond.

Cool concept, crap material
By JM December 13, 2020I’ve done my fair share of wrapping before. As anyone who has tried knows, wrap quality is key. I bought the 3D carbon version, and it’s really cheap and difficult to work with compared to material of better quality. The slightest application of heat turned it into a stiff plasticky substance, which easy rips. Unfortunately I had to throw mine away. Otherwise, I was impressed by the accuracy of the material’s shape—it was a perfect fit. If you want to do this project yourself, the best bet is to use this wrap as a template and get your own, higher quality material. Or have it professionally done...or just use Plastidip...
