brianpalvarez · 06-13-2019, 05:39 PM

F30 Fam! I finally wrapped my V Brace! Who else has done this! I am going for a red accent, let me know your thoughts! I also documented my process hope this helps anyone trying to do the same!

I bought blue wrap to do mine but haven’t gotten around to it. I might just paint them to match my calipers.

GGEVOX · 06-13-2019, 10:25 PM

I would like to see some options of what people have done. Thinking the M40i needs white, F36 red

Why does this F30/F32 group have a Porsche as the cover photo?

I wrapped my tire valve caps in carbon fiber!

Seriously though, I wrapped my v brace with aluminum vinyl to match wheel color and I've grown fond of it so it stayed.

Did it a while ago, carbon dark blue, pretty subtle, almost goes unnoticed, can see it better in the picture because of direct bright sunlight.

Do you have a link for where you got it (assuming you still think its quality)?
