Default carbon fiber wrapping hatch

how well does di-noc carbon fiber wrap hold up to the elements? my tib is black and im thinking about wrapping my hood, roof, and hatch all in di-noc cf. but if it peels easily and not meant for exteriors then i wont do it. will i have to be careful when washing the car and can it be waxed?

if you wrap the car with carbon fiber PLEASE don't wrap the roof.... that would look silly

i have mine wrapped just the way you described.. hood, roof and hatch. looks ok to me. dunno about how the other guys take it tho. primarily wrapped it for the looks and for stone-chip protection (i take a highway where construction vehicles also use the road). i'd want to get a proper CF shaved hood if i get the funds in the future.



Mine isn't di-noc but comes from Japan. dunno what brand. holding up fine to the elements here in the Philippines (really hot and currently rainy). had it since March and no sign of wear or tear.



here's a pic.
