Ok guys. I got the Neffy wrap. its like cloth CF. There is another thread about the product.

So I started with the a-pillar. I was worried about the 'handle' but i tried it as is first. I strecthed the neffy over the handle tight like a drum. but you could still see an outline of it once it dried.

here you can see the handle hole>>>> NG!

so that failed. so i have now made 2 fillers pieces of plexi and epoxy them in. then fill with bondo nad sand. One is done and looks pretty good.

so tomorrow, finish body work on both, wrap and install........we hope.

Thanks Joe. is that my payback for the stick to racing comment :lol: :eek:

seriously, i was worried about a finger poking in there too joe..... its a ton more work this way. but in the end, the grey ghost will be happier!

plans are for A pillar, then B, C, D.

No it wasn't payback. :)

I like that material. I would like to see the Nav bezel and speedo cluster wrapped in that. I would buy some of this for my Jeep but with the Wood trim it would look ****ing stupid.

robpp

08-29-2009, 07:17 PM

yeah joe, all my stuff is painted. I AM NOT PUTTING neffy on top of the paint. on the red site are some pics of an 08 nav bezel and the shifter cover...........

robpp

hey scott. when i open the B-Pillar I got airbags in there.

whats the best way to make sure I dont set them off??

disconnect battery? then step on brake 30 seconds to completely drain?

Looks bad ass Rob! Kudos for going the extra mile and doing it right (i.e. filling the handles) - great work!

B.P.O.D

08-31-2009, 01:26 PM

looks awesome rob!!!! i think it looks really nice in the interior... are you going to cut out the handles or leave them like that? if you cut out the handles can you wrap the handles with the material?

robpp

08-31-2009, 01:46 PM

i filled them in........before i wrapped them.

B.P.O.D

08-31-2009, 01:52 PM

Looks factory!!! But why would you want to get rid of the handles? My GF holds on to that 90% of the time she's in the jeep. LOL

09-01-2009, 11:52 AM

Rob that looks sweet...man I want to do this but it would look like a$$ with my light interior and caramel color wood! Nice work and great job!!!

White WK Swagga

09-01-2009, 11:58 AM

I was thinking that too Brad. I wish there was a way to darken my headliner. My old X5 had a black headliner and I loved it....

robpp

09-01-2009, 12:58 PM

can you get that in an all black instead of the carbon fiber look?? and could you have made it wrap around the handles as well so you could still use em??

btw that pillars gonna get ****edd up if the airbag is everr deployed

if I wanted black, i might just paint them using that interior part paint.

maybe I could have kept the handles. but i chose not too. and about the airbags. while most of the interior snaps together, the A pillars are BOLTED to the frame. so not sure about your airbag comment. furthermore, if the airbags do go off, the least of my issues is the a pillars............

White WK Swagga

09-01-2009, 01:16 PM

Looks damn good though like it came from the factory like that. I wonder if I could do my pillars or grill with that stuff???

robpp

09-01-2009, 01:18 PM

its not hard to work with. you use spray glue so its repositionalble for a while.......

A grill might be cool..............

B.P.O.D

09-01-2009, 01:22 PM

rob how easy is it to take off if you don't like it or it chips or something? will the finish be jeopardized with the glue?

robpp

09-01-2009, 01:32 PM

irf, i had to remove the stuff from that first pillar. and it left lots of glue residue. at that pint, it was either make neffy work or get a new pillar.............

maybe on metal you could get all the glue off but i am not sure on plastic. acetone reomoved the glue from my hands!

White WK Swagga

09-01-2009, 01:34 PM

What about the door pillars? You think it's a good product to use on them?

Scottina06

09-01-2009, 01:48 PM

its fabric...so it would have to be cleared on the exterior

robpp

09-01-2009, 01:51 PM

neffy says it holds up pretty good exterior as is.

but I agree with scott, for longevity, clear it!

White WK Swagga

09-01-2009, 02:15 PM

Really??? I may buy some and experiment.....

robpp

09-01-2009, 02:23 PM

it cost you 35 to try it out. plus some spray glue.

go to neffywrap.com. check the gallery.

they adding pics all the time..............

w87will

09-01-2009, 05:32 PM

Is it pretty easy to keep the pattern aligned? or does the fabric stretch and you have to keep aligning the pattern so it looks right?

Oh and your Pillar looks awesome. Great work on filling the handle in and making it one piece. I like that. Plus 100x easier to wrap it haha.

robpp

09-01-2009, 05:34 PM

I didnt pay attention to the pattern and there really is no need.

even the bolt covers dont look bad and they dont match at all.

you just strectch it out to get it smooth and around and over stuff. its real thin, .4 mil, so its easy to work with. I am a novice at this stuff.

w87will

09-01-2009, 05:41 PM

Cool thanks. I have some thinking to do.

robpp

what will that look like on fuel door rob

robpp

09-02-2009, 09:36 AM

it might look weird troy.

I probably can spare you a piece for it. I would try it first without the glue to be sure you want to go forward before actually gluing it on.......

send me a PM with address, ill send you a small piece.

Are you doing anything else with the neffy wrap?

robpp

09-02-2009, 09:59 AM

I did the a-pillars. now i am going to do the B, C, D pillars to match. I think thats it.

I may try like the fuse box cover under the hood but not sure yet..........

May follow your box design and get a 10 for it. or if we get any bonus at all this year, i may do the JL Audio sTEALTHBOX.

Oh, gotcha.

You should see what a shop would charge to replicate the Stealthbox... it may end up being cheaper.

robpp

09-03-2009, 06:17 PM

the more I look at your box, I think I could live with that. Its under the shade I can get at everything quickly.

we'll see.

Yeah, it pretty much uses all the negative space behind the rear seats... cargo tray still fully functionable as well as the cargo shade.

Not to mention a hell of a lot cheaper than a Stealthbox, lol.

this was a cheap mod troy. I have about 100 invested, now time is a different story. Its about 4 days so far. I have one B and one D left to do. Oh and maybe that piece that goes across the very back. then add some LEDS to that strip too.

For me troy, its always been like this. it came from my Dad. He loved cars. He only knew so much as far as keeping them running and fixing them but he always did his own maintenance and stuff. And mods. When I was a little guy, like 7, he bought a Triumph TR4A. I swear I can remember crawling under it with Pops and him letting me squeeze the grease gun while he was lubing it. He also taught me to shift and all he had to say was 3rd gear, I was one it. He worked the clutch but the shifter was mine.

In recent life I always ahd Harleys to mod and F with but I sold my last bike in 04 after i trashed my back. I had surgery for one disc in 07 but I really should go for at least one more disc. So with no Bikes to mod, i turned to my Jeep. with the way of the 'NEW NORMAL' if we ever figure out what that is, I figure Im keeping the WK for a while, it has lifetime powertrain so who knows I couyld own this for a while. I might as well make it mine!

anyway............

09-06-2009, 07:35 PM

Yes it feels good to work on them new mods nothing like buying new mod for your jeep knowin that theres something coming in the mail and its for your jeep ya its a great feeling my dad was the same allways cleaning his engine detailing it all the time its a hobby and its your ride but we are glad you have a forum because without you rob i would be lost on some of my mods lol thanks for your help you have great ideas for everything

robpp

09-06-2009, 07:42 PM

worth a try to clear everything.

only need to hlod the brake for 30 seconds or so not 10 minutes

jeeppro

09-06-2009, 07:50 PM

to be clear, you disconnect the negative, then you hold the brake for 30 seconds.

Rob - Whats up with your seat belt adjuster thing? Did I miss something?

robpp

09-08-2009, 12:53 PM

its that headliner color. i was wondering if other years, like 08 UP have a different color.

It kind of looks a little funny since the pillar is now sort of grey.

But pimping out the pillars?!?! CAN YOU SAY EMERGENCY!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW I wonder how side mirrors and A/C vents would look in that material.

maybe wrap the chrome mirror covers in it! IDK.

pjs1965

09-27-2009, 09:14 AM

Rob, would the 09 pillars fit? They have the handle built into the a-pillar so it's a different look.

I'm wondering if I could do mine like you did with the built-in handle. Gonna be tricky.

Scottina06

09-27-2009, 09:31 AM

all a pillars are the same Peter from 05-09. Rob filled in the handle.

BIG QUESTION ROBB im in the middle of this mod and im stuck =( how do i remove the B and C pillars after i take off the bold? do i unscrew the seatbelt screw aswell??

robpp

06-04-2010, 07:14 PM

you need to remove the little door. on both b and c there is a small screw under that holding it on.

it was a year ago. on one of them i had to remove the belt, B IIRC.

wkjeeps has pics...........

JAYBEE3

06-05-2010, 02:32 PM

Yes i removed the door on the C and B pillars but the seat belt wount let it come off do u have ny pic? i chekd the wkjeeps site and it only has the A pillar removale pic

robpp

07-28-2010, 10:33 PM

^^^^^^ hopefully you figured it out by now :lol:

so a short update;

Neffy on a and d looks perfct. Bueno

B and C is a different story. near teh top where they have the sharper bends its starting to lift from the inside corner. on all four.

so ......out with the Neffy and in the the DiNoc Graphite CF. not the black like most get,

so stay tuned.

07-29-2010, 03:04 AM

robpp

07-29-2010, 05:37 AM

its been happenning slowly over time. my vinyl guy told me this would hqappen.

how he explained it...neffy will always want to go back to its original shape. so if its over a concave part its good. itthe convex where it will shrink.. i think i fgot that right.

Micallef

08-01-2010, 09:35 PM

i am pretty sure you will eventually wrap your entire wk with that stuff lol,

on second thought you should, a carbon fiber neffy wrapped wk, i like the sound of that :P

silicastorm

08-09-2010, 11:48 AM

Robpp,

Do you think the Neffy material is thin enough to wrap the Door Switch Bezels and the Dash/shifter trim; while still allowing it to fit back on without issue?

Really can't stand this wood grain imitation crap.... looks like a laminate peeled from a bowling ball!

Replacements from Just4Jeeps is over $600.00 USD to replace.
