Thoughts on my idea :
 

I was thinking of getting someone to wrap the underside of my hatch in Carbon Fiber.
You guys think it would last?
Look good?

I think it would look fantastic , hanging upside down and subject possibly long stretches of heat I would be concerned it might start to sag. But having said that I have a number of performance stickers under my hatch and it's a few years and they are stilling hanging in . The only other consideration is that at night should you need to work in your bilge the dark color will not reflect light very well . So I say go for and don't break down at night .

I think it would look good. I have had vinyl decals under a hatch before(cigarette mistress) and they held up. Don't know why good quality vinyl carbon fiber wouldn't. Unique and cool.

they make all kinds of high end car panels and hoods out of carbon fiber so i would think it will hold up just fine. another thought would be to use 3m spray glue and cover the underside of your hatch in carbon fiber upholstery

3m makes a high adhesion primer for wrap vinyl, I believe its called '94". I would also use a high gloss 2D vinyl as opposed to the 3D vinyl. The 2d would be smooth and clean easier will the 3D has a carbon texture which would cacth belt dust etc,,,, I would also find someone local to you with some skill at doing wraps instead of doing it yourself.

Why not mirror-plex to show off those engines?

All good ideas!
Mirror plex.. hmm I could see me in there upside down trying to keep it clean every 30 minutes

Mine stays pretty clean, I did the regular mirror-plex and then the red tinted. Looks better in person than the picture

vinyl wrap will work,,I have used vinyl mirrors with no problem.

I have seriously consider vinyl mirror on the bottom of my engine hatch on my fever as well.

Mirror!

Where do you do get vinyl mirror ?

You could have someone paint it to look like carbon fiber also. I have done it on a few cars, and I'm sure someone out your way can do it, theres a few youtube vids out there on how to do it....

This is the process to use: Water Transfer Printing - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CA0DR4GSQg

I get from ebay,,about $25.00 will do a boat,,

Thx Boatnt.
RG.

I also had Mitcher t do this to my current boat,,I know yours will have to say Cigarette ,,,I know not as cool but it will work..lol

You could also put carbon fiber vinyl and spray a clear on it so you don't have peeling issues.

I like the white personally. You show up everyone in the rough out on the lake let them have the blinged out bilges at the dock!

How about carbon base with a cool cig script laid down as a template , white paint, peel the template and clear coat??

Might look pretty cool..

^^^ sounds great but I`m lucky to find someone who will do the wrap at a decent price ..much less all that fancyness.:D

THE AVITAR pics have gotten OUT OF CONTROL!!!!!!!!! LOL

I agree
