I like it. I did mine in 4D black carbon fiber. How did you manage to do the handbrake? I got everything else pretty neat but didn't have a good way of doing that.

Soo, any info on this not over the top tasteful mod? I think that what I like about it is how subtle it looks, very nicely done.

It just a piece of pvc plastic cut and sanded to shape then wrapped in carbon style vinyl.



I still haven't fixed them properly yet. Was hoping to screw them to the original plastic trim but thinking of using 3m tape.

Do anyone have any other suggestions?

Awesome mod bro,
Subtle yet very distinctive

Would love to do that but unfortunately on a 4-door you will most definitely get some idiot passenger stepping on it while getting in or out

You can remove the part by pulling towards the front of the car, after that it's a lot's of patience and a good heat gun!

I have not installed yet, but I recently purchased some new badges for my beauty. Does anyone know where I can purchase matte black GTI emblem for the front grill. Once done, operation blackout will be complete.
Picture shows gloss, but ordered in matte black.

Hey, dark, exactly the same as i've done. Same cf wrap too. Only difference being i'm RHD. Did it about 8 months ago, currently in the process of taking the wrap off and redoing it with plain white plastidip. I didn't think it would be much different but the plain white completely refreshes the look from the cf.

I got the matte black with red backing. No complaints with the front badge, fits perfectly and snugly and comes with a 3M tape to adhere it. Back one was really difficult to get off, and the aftermarket one was very loose, clips did not hold it in place at all. The instructions say to use epoxy on two of the mounting holes to hold it on but I used clear silicon caulking in case i wanted to remove it later. I put it on all the clips. I recommend putting a small bead of something around the entire circle edge because mine has a noticeable gap when opening the hatch and it flexes and makes a rattling noise when the hatch gets closed.

The quality is good otherwise. I dropped mine onto rough concrete twice during the install and they didn't scratch at all. Overall I'm happy with it, I just would choose to plastidip my own in the future I think. If i didnt want the red backing I would have done that instead

Sorry about the drops, it's raining here today

Bought some plasti-dip yesterday for my b pillars since I couldnt stand the piano black being scratched and dirty all the time. Thinking about playing around with it. What do you think of this photoshop concept? Too much?
