Default has anyone done a carbon fiber rear valence?

i noticed one in the classifieds for a C6 and it looks pretty nice on a black body. my valence has a couple gouges which i can't really blend so they don't stand out, and i just ordered for fun, a piece of the 3M di-noc carbon stick on vinyl from ECS and am tempted to wrap my valence in it. seeing as i also recently had cutouts made for my new exhaust tips, even though they're really good, the carbon wrap might really make the look. i know the valence is a separate piece on my car (2000), does it unscrew or are there clips so i can remove it and do a clean install?

I haven't seen one in person but am thinking of wrapping mine in some carbon fiber vinyl. If I ever get to it I'll be happy to post some pics for ya.

unless i beat you to it! unfortunately i think the piece i bought (1' x 4') might not be long enough - or maybe it is, i never measured it. either way, i think it could look very cool

Here you go take a look...Just got my STaSIS exhaust. I think the combination looks pretty good.

Quite. Is it a CF wrap or done in a full CF composite?

I actually got the 3m dinoc.I had a guy install it on the front bottom part of the spoiler of my new A4.1) It protects it from small rocks etc.2) It looks like real carbon fiber.If you spray a clear coat it will look like the real thing.

I have pics of the process.It was done in 45 minutes.

Also the rear valance is easy to take off.Just unscrew it and dismantle it.Its not rocket science.Then,with a sharp exacto knive,cut the pieces according to your measurements.

A lot of local guys ,that do the Tinting do vinyl.So they know how to cut it and adhere for a custome look.ECS tuning has the sheets for 27 dollars,1foot by 10 feet,or something like that.Trust me it will look good.
