They are wraps. It was done by a outfit called Carbon Elements.

Looks good. Is it just the angle? Panel looks almost twice as big as the one on my DB9

Thank guys. It's only the angle that's making it appear so big.

Looks great! Do you know if they used a CF vinyl or was this done with a CF fiber/cloth?

So let's see.... Wrap parts that are located in the engine bay with CF vinyl. And said parts wrapped with vinyl will last how long?


No, carbon fiber cloth was used. I'll probably get 2 to 3 years out of them before they turn yellow, even though there is the potential that they may never fade if I continually wax them.

wrap longevity even under great heat isn't a huge issue these days. my wrap guy has his brake calipers wrapped! with that said, all wraps should last in the neighborhood of 3 yrs or so depending upon conditions, light, etc.

Just added a carbon fibre slam panel from Auto West S.C.

Great communication, quick shipping from Poland (I’m located in Canada).
