Custom Datsun Carbon Fiber Wraps for the Pacific NW


Recommended Posts

Nic, do you have a 620 dash wrapped already? If so, could you get some pics up.

 

Out of all the Benzs, Audi, BMWs and other high end vehicles... I haven't done any Datsuns other than my own, thats why I posted that ad previously.

 

Now everyone keeps asking about the dash... Which parts of the dash are you all talking on the 620?? The Defroster panel? Entire Dash Pad?? or the Instrument bezel??

 

I have a Dodge Center Console in mine and I'm thinking of wrapping a Dash Cap in Brushed Aluminum, the defroster panel in carbon as well as the instrument bezel. and do the inner parts of my gauge hole bezel in Aluminum as well... Problem is that when you do as many different mods or skills I have... I tend to change my mind and do something different. I haven't bought a Dash Cap yet to wrap since my dash pad is flawless :D... So if anyone has a dash cap I'd be glad to wrap it... as for wrapping the factory dash pad... 9/10 have cracks and need prior rework, filling and honestly I wouldn't want to wrap the factory one (its too brittle)... but I've had many ABS Dash Caps for many older vehicles and I'd like to wrap that instead.

 

Let me know if that helped out.

man this guys "5-10 hp custom ground straps" look like poo. most of them look to be made of 0 gauge speaker wire.... idk seems like a sketchy guy to me

 

Of all people... Myself... I made a mistake... a TYPO... anyway I use Silver Tinned 4/0 and 2/0 cables on my grounds... Strand Count starts at 4700

I have all the types of wires instock but don't be fooled by cheap Copper Wire that says 4 gauge... I mean its WAY better than stock... but Stay Classy

 

if u have any questions let me know

Thanks, I never did mention or try to advertise my grounds straps here cuz of the feedback of the Carbon Fiber... but if I didn't believe in my product... then how is it I'm getting 38 MPGs City in my current 620

 

 

Black magic? You lost the battle to Satan last year in Georgia? :lol:

 

Welcome, honestly if this is your first web forum to join. Take it with a grain of salt. On a lot of forums people are quick to attack.

 

As for wraps, I'll have to check out your link, to me it depends on the vehicle. I was going to wrap some interior parts in my old MS6, it has its place and can look pretty damn good in some cars. Especially Benz or BMWs.

so you don't have a 620 dash that's rapped any part of it

 

Not yet, I dont exactly get many Datsun owners blowing up my shop phones everyday LOL. Most Datsun Owners I known throughout the years are the ones trying to barter or can't even afford a pair of NEW struts so they get used ones at wrecking yards... LOL I'm not talking trash its just REAL TALK... But like I said I'll be glad to wrap an aftermarket Dash Cap or Dash Bezels...

 

Try out my shop... I will be purchasing one ABS Dash Cap for my 620 to wrap but like I said before... IDK if I wanna wrap mine in Carbon or in Brushed Aluminum.

OK guys... so I took a break on this forum due to your opinions but hey... everyone has them... hopefully those with the immature opinions have grown up... I'm a Datsun lover but more of an FD Rx7 guy so I guess I'm a Hybrid thats just hella chill... Oh and if any of you have negative feedback on this... then why don't you post up pics of your work or in your gallery before knocking my work... DO WORK SON!!

 

Anyway I just picked up another 620 instrument dash bezel (With holes drilled and stereo cut-out) and some more of my Brushed Aluminum wraps... I'm gonna wrap one in Brushed and my clean one in CF so you guys can tell me which one looks cooler, but it dont matter which really does cuz my ass loves to swap parts just to say, I can lol

 

I would've wrapped my Datsun 620 bezel but I've been busy wrapping up so many G35s, BMWs, and AMG Benzos... sorry not one Datsun customer yet lol....

 

anyway I'll wrap them as soon as I get a chance and post up pics but until then... here's a G35 that I'm doing a Roof Wrap, Battery/Brake Covers and Front Wire Cover in... oh and more ladies for you guys that think I use photoshop lol

 

if you have any questions just holla at here but its better to get at me on my facebook shop page... http://facebook.com/...sperformance... thats where I'm usually on... enjoy the Infiniti fellow Datso Owners!!

I am frusterated because I sit and watch this and your actions and attitude is all wrong. Nobody gives a shit if you work on mercedes , bmw and lexus all day long. A car is a car and until you can learn to treat them all the same you won't get any respect. This is ratsun, not pimp my ride. We are all here for one reason which is our dattos. There are many people on here who are very talented in their respected trades, but you don't see them acting so flamboyant. If you want respect, earn it.

Your the one thats SITTING and frustrated... LOL I just stated a point about opinions, thats all and lets keep it on that...

 

If you've been to my shop or ever met me in person, you'd understand that every Lambo at my shop gets the SAME treatment as every Ford Tempo... as well as Datsuns... they're all treat equally

 

They're taken well with care and immaculate attention to detail... I respect every technician, installer, specialist or mechanic...

 

Alot of them dont have the same view as mine and get frustrated for unknown reason and just want to be the best, the fastest and the greatest... I don't... I mean, cant we all just get along?

 

Go get a coke and a smile, why be frustrated when we own some of the coolest vehicles in the world?? Datsuns... in other words like Skib said "Chill"

 

And also I get alot of respect yo... I've been on OverHaulin' 8 times... I did ALL the work and upgrades for all the trucks on History Channel's "Ice Road Truckers" as well... stop sitting and start creating something positive yo!

Ok guys... sorry it took me a little bit to post up pics but I wrapped both Gauge bezels for my 620... One is in Dry Carbon Fiber and the other is in Brushed Aluminum

 

The first pic is the Carbon one... Notice that its not a typical flat cheesy sticker and is contoured around every lip and even behind the Washer Switch and Lighter...

 

The Second pic is a Close-up of the Brushed Aluminum Wrap and in it I left a flap open to show that its wrapped... the finished product doesn't of course lol...

 

The rest are the Brushed Aluminum Dash but I'm in the process of wrapping one of my grill in Both and the others will be even more custom...

 

Anyway let me know what you think... And if your opinions are negative... oh well!! I think these look alot better then the Doo-Doo Brown colored bezel! lol ADD My Shop on Facebook http://facebook.com/nichaulassperformance

1) I agree that you seemed to be boasting a bit with the "bmws, benz, lambo..." talk, but understandable. When I am talking about my work, I usually mention the higher end cars. No one wants to hear what you did to some college kids Dodge Neon, but people seem to be genuinely interested in work done on high end cars. I think that it shows that people trust you with they precious investments, so you are the real deal. And before all this "post up some pictures of your work" talk starts, I have pictures up the ying yang if you want to see.

 

2) That brushed aluminum looks insane! Im not a fan of CF really, but your work looks very good. I may have to send you some pieces of my car to get wrapped...

 

3) Yes i originally posted that the girl looked photoshopped, and thats because it did to me. You showed me it wasnt, so I stand corrected. And I agree about the motorboat... BRBRBRBRBRBBRBRBRBRBRBBRBRBR :baby:

Nick. I love the CF bezel. I'm local, and would like to bring you a whole dash to wrap. Please PM me if you're interested in some more business.

 

 

Id like to know how much this runs you, a full wrapped dash would be sex :cool:

 

 

the bezels look really good man, how much would one run?

Vinyl holds up pretty well, i know this guy has had the wrap on his valve cover for a couple months and hasn't lifted or bubbled, but like anything else it depends on the quality of the vinyl.

If anything the heat makes it shrink causing it to adhere better.

 

 

Are you using 3M Di-noc or whatever it's called?

I can vouch for this type of vinyl it does look like carbon fiber, they have Gloss, Flat, Dry, Matte finishes.
