That looks weird. You just took away its classy look. And the sticker is coming out a lil bit...kinda noticeable. Nice effort, though.



Posted by: Eyies

That doesn't even look like carbon fibre lol. I guess whatever's your thing. Stickers on phone = tacky imo.



Posted by: bodeh6

I am sorry if this sounds rude but that looks like a//.



Posted by: marktang

the front looks alright but the back.....im speechless



Posted by: oRSpetsnaz

Whatever floats your boat I guess...



Posted by: hybrid.09

Makes your K800 look like those cheap phones with plastic $5 faceplates.

At least If you carbon fibre it, paint it instead of using stickers.



Posted by: Shugo88

Ooh May I ask how you cut it? Do u have a template or anything like that? If you do have a template, could u send them to me?



Posted by: bbevol

Damn... sorry to tell you but the weave on that CF is really fake... I woulda just did it on a cheap faceplate... oh well.. if you like it then so be it



Posted by: roygbv



why would you do that to such a good looking phone?



Posted by: theyangman

lol. cheap and tacky looking man.

There is a kid in town who did that crap too his hood cause he was too cheap to buy a real one for his car. What a joke.

Way to ruin your phone man.



Posted by: rvlyssup

Damn you guys are harsh.

I guess what you like is what matters.

Ouch, to all the mean replies.

Ouch, to the cheapest looking k800 on the planet



Posted by: theyangman

Oh and for the record please change the title of this thread to "I put stickers on my phone" cause you clearly did not carbon fiber anything.

Well, it's kind of hard not to be harsh. Evidently, you have guys in this forum who have modded their phones, as well as others, for some time. So they know what works and what doesn't. I mean he did a good job with cutting the sticker, but it looks too obvious. On the front, you can see the segments where it was cut. And on the back, it's overlapping on some areas.

It doesn't look like carbon fiber in the first place, it looks more like wallpaper. And I don't know why for any reason why some people think that carbon fiber will go with everything. Besides, I think it was just a way for him to spread word about his blog.

My post was a double negative

I hate stickers.

I love glue.



Posted by: marktang

man it makes me look bad to have the same name as him



Posted by: br0pbr0p

What the hell is that piece of crap? -_-



Posted by: theyangman

ouch, the kid made his first post about his fake sticker cf phone and hasn't made another post since.

bwha ha ha ha, serves him right i guess for bringing to light such a crappy phone



Posted by: Eyies

He probably cried, and decided his reputation and first post is ruined.. time to change usernames.

Ouch that aint a good look at all, i remember i had a V3 a year or so back and bought a camo sticker for it did'nt look so bad, though i removed it after like a week....

here are a couple of pics






Posted by: theyangman

hmm...

I think the point though is the pure fake CF sticker he put on.

its like putting on a gold flake sticker and saying his phone is gold or something. Or maybe its me and the fact that I hate fake cf on anything (especially cars).

here is a picture that may help everyone understand why I hate fake cf so much (its because I love it so much!!!)



My full cf front end. custom made one off by VIS.


Now matty, that is what cf is. Not that horrible walmart sticker crap you bought in their ricer aisle.



Posted by: peryus88

Now THAT'S carbon fiber. I hear ya, theyangman. Or like when someone puts chrome tape on their bumper, and tries to pass it off for chrome plating.



Posted by: marktang

the v3 dont look so bad...at least all the cuts fits the phone.



Posted by: JPCrazyLegs

You drive a gold carbon fiber covered car? I hate you. You rich or something lo.



Posted by: theyangman

nah man its typical black cf weave. Its the yellow lighting that makes it appear like a yellow kevlar weave. check the car portion of hofo to see more pics of my car.



Posted by: RusWolf

weird looking



Posted by: RusWolf

weird looking phone... but props for trying it...

is that a ford focus?



Posted by: oRSpetsnaz

Yes, the finest of cars. If you're gonna replace a front clip with carbon fiber, it had better be a Focus. Money well spent.



Posted by: hybrid.09

If it looked real, and had the speaker done with holes poked out for it, that would have been bomb.

ROFL i'm sorry, this is an AWESOME comment!



Posted by: yash101

I don't know whats funnier.. the guy with the Cf Focus calling the cellphone a ricer or the fact that a FOCUS has a cf front end.

haha. hilarious.



Posted by: Mugen Type R

lmao!

XDDDDDDDDDD



Posted by: raysacr

...someone remind that guy that this is a cellphone forum...not a car forum. I bet he thought he was so cool to post up his CF front end on his Ford Focus..."check the car portion for more pics"...well, until everyone laughed at his azz. LOL. OP, take off those stickers. Car guy, get a real car.



Posted by: patrickkc

Posted by: capljina8

it is a real car. It is not imaginary. It's not a drawing.

But anyways it's a show car. Why do people put down a car just based purely on its name? And why is it rice? My focus runs a modest 14.3 in the quarter, and is a nice comfortable drive. Before you slam my car post up what you drive and show me your time slip.

The first to bash are the first ones in line at the bus stop usually.



Posted by: IFryRice

^ Are you serious ? With all that CF....you managed a 14.3 ? I wish my ///M3 would be able to do that! LOL!

Here's a pic of my car...

Lol, I never liked CF on the focus...that's why I never put any on mine Just euro'd the crap out of it



Posted by: maddpaky

A picture of a razr? In the SE forums? What the hell is wrong with you people?



Posted by: Skarbro

I absolutely hate fake CF (rice - yeah I said it) and those stickers do nothing to change my opinion of that. The phone looks terrible now.

For real. All I'm saying is that IF I had enough money to make a custom carbon fiber front end for MY hypothetical focus.... I wouldn't. I probably wouldn't with my real car either... and I definitely wouldn't show off a focus... ever...even if it had 100 diamonds embedded in it. I do drive a completely stock 04 Sti though... so I'm kinda a ******* I guess...

absolutely true.

1. my car is sponsored. I paid nothing to have that custom one of a kind front end built for me.

2. Hard to compare an m3 to a focus. It would be like the next guy in line comparing his lambo to your car. Apples to oranges my friend.

3. Sti is my next car for myself personally. Focus is finished for the time being and will be revertedt to relative stock and become a winter beater. My friend has an 06' and I love it.
