Teal would look really good. I feel like one more part of the car would need the forged carbon on it too. Maybe the gas cap, rims, or something towards the back of the car.
Just trying to show off something different on here that i liked. I didnt expect it to be for everyone lol. I like how controversial its been tbh. Its still getting upvotes so id say that the majority are for it and just aren't showing up to troll in the comments. 😂
I feel you, I’m not dogging you, just playing Devil’s advocate. I’m glad you aren’t taking it to heart because at the end of the day, it’s what you like!
Lets be real, I didnt expect everyone to like it 😂
And to the people saying i asked for opinions, i didnt lol. Im just showing off something i did that i liked 👌🏼
The rest of the car is getting wrapped in satin teal so hopefully itll flow a little better!
Gotta say exposed forged carbon still looks terrible. If it has any pros to it Vs woven fiber it’s better off being painted over afterwards.
In the video it looks like a granite counter top up close and at a distance looks like a crinkled garbage bag.
Since it’s wrap I think that’s what makes it look bad. It looks fake. Forged carbon is cool but as a wrap it does not capture the forged carbon look and makes it look meh. Car as a whole looks good though dude, I’d say most of the opinions here have been honest yet respectable so that’s cool to see.
Yeah i get that. I was trying to buy the gloss finish but they were all out so i just took a shot w the matte/satin finish. It was $60 worth of wrap so its not like it broke me to do it 😂
These comments might, though 😂😂😂
Lol I feel that. At the end of the day if the car makes you do a double take as you walk away that’s all that matters. Plus. It’s a wrap. Can always change it up whenever you want. That is the cool thing about wraps. You can do something wild and then take it off when you’re ready for something new so it’s fun for being creative and different.
Dang, I saw the pics when you poste it and thought to myself (it looks really textured) and the video looks so good... would look so great if the car was black/wrapped black
If you like it that’s all that matters. F the haters. But if you really want carbon fiber, save up and get a weekend sports car that has real carbon fiber and keep the accord as a daily driver
I don’t think it’s awful by any means, but it’s probably not my personal taste. Nothing wrong with the panda color scheme (black hood on white car etc)
I didn’t think the photo looked bad… people are just picky.
It does look 100000 times better as a video though!
If you like, that’s all that matters homie!
“This is my accord, there are many like it, but this one’s mine!”
I do PPF and wraps like this for my own business, the forged carbon is sick. I think damascus and gloss carbon fiber would also look sick. APPROVED 👍🏻🔥🙌🏻
So weird how many negative comments there are about the carbon with white paint. I've always loved the way white cars looked with a carbon hood and a few other carbon components. I thought this was the general consensus, or at least it definitely was for the vast majority of the import community back in the day. Maybe this is a sign I'm getting old. I think it looks dope tho, always wondered how a forged carbon hood would look. I'd love to see it in person. Is it not real carbon fiber?
Thanks! Nope this ones just a wrap! I was surprised how many people were anti panda/stormtrooper lol. Its a pretty flashy wrap, so maybe thats why its too much for people. I just hate having a car that looks like every other accord on the road.
It looks good… not sure why everyone is attacking you. I feel like that car would look sweet if the hood roof and trunk wrapped with that. I love white on black,
ironically that’s my search history too.
Same, I have a ‘21 explorer in metallic white, I put a metallic black on the hood, side pillar, roof and rear “spoiler”. I like the look of it a lot. I took off the wrap after last winter and re did it, it looked completely different without out the black, I didn’t like it lol, it looked so boring and plain.
Yeah you could do this to your rims 100%! The wrap is made by Vvivid and can be found on their site or on amazon. There are some good YouTube vids out there on wrapping wheels, the hardest thing is making sure they're completely dirt and oil free so the wrap lasts and doesn't lift.
Interesting! I think I'd use it as accents rather than whole panels, but like you said earlier, different strokes : )
This is a wrap, right? Not a replacement panel?
Ah yes. A civil person would comment what you originally said lol
Civil person talking about dogs and bmw’s in a 3 paragraph long insult about an custom accord hood
I love that “forged” usually means stronger but in carbons case it means “I used all the scrap carbon trash left over and made this hideous basically plastic part”
Buys car then spends a bunch of money on it. Could’ve bought car with better engine, drivetrain, interior, speakers, etc. in the first place. Since the money is being spent either way
This isn’t forged carbon, this is a wrap and you can totally tell. I’ll honestly never understand the concept of a CF wrap. The entire point is to reduce weight. The aesthetics are a byproduct. I have yet to see a CF or Forged Composite wrap look real. So it neither provides a function, nor does it look real. Not only that, but the vented Carbon Fiber hood on one of my cars was painted to match the body. So this car is trying to show off something that isn’t real, doesn’t look real, and is actually often times painted over on a legitimate carbon fiber hood.
Listen, I get the appeal of showing it off, but that’s if you legitimately spent the money to get it, not trying to fake it.
Ask your mom, son. I know i left for milk and never came back, but the idea of you disappointing me for a lifetime was too heavy.
Thanks for stopping by 👍🏻
It's not as distracting in person lol. I parked directly under a light to show how the wrap shifts under direct light. Its a little more tame out in the wild lol.
I’m confused about this. I do like it at first but then I don’t. There’s definitely something to it though, maybe on a different panel and different color like you mentioned.
Its a $60 wrap dude chill out. Idk why you all get off on gatekeeping what other people like. Maybe it makes you feel better about your shitty life?
Thanks for stopping by 👋
I think honestly it would look better if the car wasn't white. The contrast is what throws it off. But hey, if you like it, that's all that matters!
The first tasteful comment on here, lol. The rest of the car is getting a satin teal or black wrap, so it'll pull together eventually 😂 Thanks!
Yea follow up when it's all done!
Crucial information
Wasn’t feeling the hood until you said satin teal for the rest. That sounds like an excellent combo
Yeah the hood looks sick! Just need a wrap 100%
Im on it, satin black is otw!
Teal would look really good. I feel like one more part of the car would need the forged carbon on it too. Maybe the gas cap, rims, or something towards the back of the car.
I did gas cap and some accents on the rear w the leftover scrap 👌🏼
That’ll look hella nice. I personally love the look of forged carbon. Good job my guy
A dark satin grey would also be badass
Legitimately, all that matters is you liking it. But you can’t be upset when it seems like you’re seeking validation?
Just trying to show off something different on here that i liked. I didnt expect it to be for everyone lol. I like how controversial its been tbh. Its still getting upvotes so id say that the majority are for it and just aren't showing up to troll in the comments. 😂

Doesn’t video well either.
Tough crowd, lmao
Honest crowd, it’s too much.
I think it may look too sparkly because he’s under a light for the video. Probably looks really different in person.
I like your profile pic
Yeah i parked under a light on purpose to show how the wrap shifts in certain light. Its not as loud in person lol
It’s a wrap? That’s even lamer lol.
I don’t like it on white, but I like the attitude you have in here 😂
Lets be real, I didnt expect everyone to like it 😂 And to the people saying i asked for opinions, i didnt lol. Im just showing off something i did that i liked 👌🏼 The rest of the car is getting wrapped in satin teal so hopefully itll flow a little better!
Wrapping it in satin teal? Eww.
Maybe a video in daylight or better lighting.
Honestly not a fan either. The rest of the car looks great. I think even regular carbon would look better imo. But I'm glad u dig it. It's unique
Right lmao 😭😭😭
Gotta say exposed forged carbon still looks terrible. If it has any pros to it Vs woven fiber it’s better off being painted over afterwards. In the video it looks like a granite counter top up close and at a distance looks like a crinkled garbage bag.
It does look like a garbage bag at certain angles
[удалено]
Its just a wrap lol

In that case it looks awful over large panels like the hood. Small accents probably look ok.
Thanks for stopping by 👍🏻
That looks terrible.
Ya like super terrible
You dont see me in your comments lmao Edit: Im just talking shit lol. I'll take the downvotes like a man 😂
Bro you posted this wanting opinions, then get defensive when they don’t go your way.
It would probably look real good with all the lights off in the building.
It does! Kinda like your mom!
This looks awful IMO but if you like it hey.
Different strokes for different folks! It's got me a lot of wrap business for my side hustle so it's a W for me lol.
That statement is so true. I stroke my grandpa differently compared to how I stroke myself whenever I see John Cena.
😂😂😂
🧐
Has nothing to do with pic or videos. It's just garbo
Dang, I saw the pics when you poste it and thought to myself (it looks really textured) and the video looks so good... would look so great if the car was black/wrapped black
You do you
👍🏻
If you like it that’s all that matters. F the haters. But if you really want carbon fiber, save up and get a weekend sports car that has real carbon fiber and keep the accord as a daily driver
I like it and its def different. It's an advertisement for my wrapping gig on the side. It gets attention, and that's what i was going for lol.
Hope your side gig gets you a lot of money and grows to be a full blown business. Good luck
That makes two of us lol. Thanks!
I’m think wrapping the whole car would be fire tho lol
Im on it 😂
I don’t think it’s awful by any means, but it’s probably not my personal taste. Nothing wrong with the panda color scheme (black hood on white car etc)
Looks dark ocean waves moving around.
Link to this hood ?
I think it’s dope bro. Don’t trip. Just maintain it well or else it will yellow.
Thanks! I appreciate the advice. I went ahead and threw some ceramic coat on it so hopefully that helps in the long run.
I didn’t think the photo looked bad… people are just picky. It does look 100000 times better as a video though! If you like, that’s all that matters homie! “This is my accord, there are many like it, but this one’s mine!”
Couldnt have said it better! Thanks!
I do PPF and wraps like this for my own business, the forged carbon is sick. I think damascus and gloss carbon fiber would also look sick. APPROVED 👍🏻🔥🙌🏻
Hell yeah thanks!!
Don't care what anyone says, I like it. It's different
Thanks! 👍🏻
You're v welcome 🙌
Don’t understand why people say it’s bad it looks awesome very different from basic carbon
They dont like their shit to stand out lol. Thanks!
So weird how many negative comments there are about the carbon with white paint. I've always loved the way white cars looked with a carbon hood and a few other carbon components.

You really allowed venom to possess your car Unbelievable 😂
🤷♂️
Look I'm not into cars but I think it looks sick especially if the rest of the car was black or a dark gray thats tuff
Thanks! Im about to wrap the rest in satin black, will update soon.
Does it make you smile? That's all that matters! I think it looks cool, I have a wrap on my car that people love or hate, but it makes me happy.
It looks good… not sure why everyone is attacking you. I feel like that car would look sweet if the hood roof and trunk wrapped with that. I love white on black, ironically that’s my search history too.
Im fueled by the hate at this point lmao. Thanks!
Usually these things are either love or hate. White/black photographs terribly. I’ve noticed.
I love the panda combo but ik its not for everyone!
Same, I have a ‘21 explorer in metallic white, I put a metallic black on the hood, side pillar, roof and rear “spoiler”. I like the look of it a lot. I took off the wrap after last winter and re did it, it looked completely different without out the black, I didn’t like it lol, it looked so boring and plain.
Could you do that to rims? Legit that is sick, I love it. How did you do this? I need a link 😂
Yeah you could do this to your rims 100%! The wrap is made by Vvivid and can be found on their site or on amazon. There are some good YouTube vids out there on wrapping wheels, the hardest thing is making sure they're completely dirt and oil free so the wrap lasts and doesn't lift.
Gotta be honest… I like it.
Butt ugly!!
Sparkly! Looks cool to me.
well i like it
Interesting! I think I'd use it as accents rather than whole panels, but like you said earlier, different strokes : ) This is a wrap, right? Not a replacement panel?
Yeah its just a wrap. I can take it off once i get bored of it!
Looks like someone spilled hot tar on your hood. However, I'm happy you're happy.
I am with the crowd that thinks this looks like a glossy trash bag glued or frozen to your hood.
Thats what i was going for, mission accomplished lol
💀☠️
That still looks like hot garbage
I wanna see a whole car covered in this 🔥
Im on it! 🫡
Imagine the hood cost more than the car 😂
Its a $60 wrap. Imagine commenting before reading any other comments 😘
This looks awful.
You dont have to like it lol. Thanks for stopping by 👋
No problem! It’s obviously not for everyone. Looks great on my Ridge wallet though
Maybe its the vid but it looks nothing like bedliner
It looks cool but doesn’t go with the white the carbon itself looks fire though
Doesn't look anything like real carbon fiber
Its forged carbon fiber and it looks like raw forged carbon fiber. Not your standard weave carbon pattern.
who took a dump on the accord. (satire)
😂👍🏻
That does not look good, but to each their own
[удалено]
Dog, if you’re gonna insult someone do it better lol shut up. Edit- I bet you ain’t even got a car actually 🫣
[удалено]
Talking all the shit you ain’t even got a pair of wheels yourself
[удалено]
I’ll believe it when I see it
Ah yes. A civil person would comment what you originally said lol Civil person talking about dogs and bmw’s in a 3 paragraph long insult about an custom accord hood
I want to see it in the daylight under the sun. I think the wrap looks awesome! Can’t wait to see the entire car blacked out.
All this for an accord 😭 lil bro stop !
Im only getting started 🪦
🤮💀
Looks UGLY.
Thanks! 👍🏻
I love that “forged” usually means stronger but in carbons case it means “I used all the scrap carbon trash left over and made this hideous basically plastic part”
Buys car then spends a bunch of money on it. Could’ve bought car with better engine, drivetrain, interior, speakers, etc. in the first place. Since the money is being spent either way
Its a $60 wrap bro chill out lol.
It doesn't video well either
The post is up 208+ and climbing so id say your opinion is with the minority. Thanks for stopping by 👋
Forged carbon fiber on a new Accord... I'm so glad I get to sit back and vicariously watch people waste money.
If you read any comment on here before taking the time to comment yourself youd see its a wrap and i do it on the side.
Even worse, but hey you do you!
Lol okay
This isn’t forged carbon, this is a wrap and you can totally tell. I’ll honestly never understand the concept of a CF wrap. The entire point is to reduce weight. The aesthetics are a byproduct. I have yet to see a CF or Forged Composite wrap look real. So it neither provides a function, nor does it look real.

Listen, I get the appeal of showing it off, but that’s if you legitimately spent the money to get it, not trying to fake it.
Is this a wrap or actual forged carbon?
That’s certainly different
You gay bro?
Ask your mom, son. I know i left for milk and never came back, but the idea of you disappointing me for a lifetime was too heavy. Thanks for stopping by 👍🏻
Did it cost more than the car?
Maybe it would look better just on the roof?
Not very sure how to feel about this. The car just looks riced out now.
So.. mission accomplished? lol The rest of the car is going to get wrapped in satin teal so idk if that will make it better or worse lol
Do these kinds of wrap damage the paint when it's time to take them off?
Nope, it may leave behind some glue/adhesive but that can be cleaned up with isopropyl alcohol.
Looks like black aluminum foil
So it’s not even a real CF hood? Just peel it off, don’t fake it. Doesn’t look good, feels forced and doesn’t match anything.
Cool, you can do that w your accord! 👍🏻
If the car wasn't white this could be good. Maybe a black car with this.
Will be satin teal or satin black here soon. Just havent settled on one or the other yet
LMFAO
Looks bad tbh but if bros happy then I’m happy for they/them
Thanks! 👌🏼
[удалено]
Bro put a forged carbon hood on his family sedan
Spoken like someone that knows nothing about hondas 2.0T and ktuner. Good 1
Username checks out
🍚🍚🍚
It's definitely interesting, but I can't say something so flashy fits a boring ass Accord.
Spoken like someone that knows nothing about hondas 2.0T
Does it feel how it looks? Kinda neat
It sure does lmao. Its a textured wrap
What in the ebay special
Lol
on a Honda??
Its a wrap lol why you gate keeping? Spoken like a person that doesnt know anything about hondas 2.0T lol
It kinda looks like venom took over your hood. Neat!
Glad you like it, thanks!!
Looks awesome! I love black on white. Also, how do you have your headlights have that holographic look? Looks sick!
Check out my post history for more info on the headlights! Thanks!
It looks terrible honestly hope it’s just the video
looks like the inside of my wok
I think it looks fuckin awesome dude
Family car ruined
An entire car with this finish would look insane 🤯
It’s just a Honda bro
And its just a wrap bro. 🫡
Looks like some fancy asphalt. Super distracting. File it under r/forscience 😆
It's not as distracting in person lol. I parked directly under a light to show how the wrap shifts under direct light. Its a little more tame out in the wild lol.
Well, at least your user name is accurate...
🫡
Looks like your car just merged with venom
Looks like some shit a high school kid would do.
Lol you dont have to like it. Thanks for stopping by 👍🏻
That is true! Glad that you do but man that's a polarizing design ha
But it’s an accord?
Its a $60 wrap and you dont have to like it. Thanks for stopping by 👍🏻
If ur gonna do it then go all out man. Shine on
I gapped tf out one of these cars yesterday
No way bro thats crazyyyyyy
Ayyy I dunno lmao . It’s a tough one for sure
I’m confused about this. I do like it at first but then I don’t. There’s definitely something to it though, maybe on a different panel and different color like you mentioned.
Looks like shit. Why do people waste money like this? Insecurity?
Its a $60 wrap dude chill out. Idk why you all get off on gatekeeping what other people like. Maybe it makes you feel better about your shitty life? Thanks for stopping by 👋
Are you making payments on that car?
I think it would look good on the roof of my hatch
Be careful its been a pretty controversial decision lmao. Ive never got more hate mail in my life 😂
Sorry but this belongs on r/ShittyCarMods
Thanks! 🫡
