Dry Carbon VS Wet Carbon RSC Front Splitter Thoughts?

So being in NYC with a lowered Vantage and a RSC splitter isn't the easiest thing to navigate through the streets. Needless to say we cracked one dipping into a pothole. Instead of ordering a new one we had an idea to repair this one and wrap it with 3M carbon vinyl. It worked pretty well and looks cool too, we are trying to see which looks coolest, your thoughts?

Is it the di-noc stuff (or something like that)? I have some of it sitting on my kitchen table right now! How do you like it? I was going to wrap a few things on my STi to test it out. And that's a good idea for salvaging your lip.

Can't tell didly squat unless you have some actual close ups of the splitters. All I see is something that is shiny black vs something that is dull black.

Did you use Scotchprint or Di-noc?

IMO the matt finish looks better than the glossy finish. (FTR: Yes, XJRS Owner, I could tell the difference and was able to opine). But, both look better than the stock plastic.

The door pulls in my V12V are a matte finish and look pretty good. As a general matter, I don't like the high gloss finish as it reminds me of cheap plastic (or shiny chrome). On the exterior, however, the gloss looks better. I did not, however, like all the glossy CF inside the One-77.
