Default 4d Vinyl CF Wrap

I am going to order some 4d Cf vinyl wrap and see how it looks on a few pieces. This is the glossy looking vinyl and it seems to receive some nice reviews. Wondering if anyone out there has used it and on what pieces. I am thinking starting on some small pieces and sme simple pieces. I would like to try it on the radio bezel but not sure if I will be able to get it to follow the curves.

do a search, many here have used it. Wal-Mart is said to sell the 3m brand under the Maguire's name called Wraptivo

i don't think the wraptivo is 4D. The 4D is fairly new and from what i remember when i was looking last year is that ebay is the only place to find it. Looks a lot better than regular vinyl wrap, but haven't seen it in person...

I just googled it, really don't see the difference but it did say, at least what I was looking at, was that it forms better and lasts longer than the 3M DiNoc, but it could just be subjective ramblings.

the one's that have posted here, including me, have used the DiNoc with good results.

The 4D, from everything I have read, is a much better material the the original #M product. It has a gloss finish and air relief oin holes to eliminate air bubble issue. I am going to order two 1'x5' pieces to play around with. Will post up some pictures of before, and after pictures if all goes well.

I used 3M 1080 CF for some of my interior pieces, but by the looks of the 4D gloss stuff, it looks a million times better!

That is what I was planning to do. I might also do the A-Pilars also.

I've used the 3M 1080 film as well, and veloz' car looks great, but it doesn't look like CF. This new 4D stuff looks so much closer to the real thing. But I say that just going from pictures. I have never seen the 4D in person.
