Materials required for this modification
- Screw driver set
- scissors ( sharp/new )
- Blade ( sharp/new )
- Carbon fiber vinyl ( 2x4 feet enough )
- Scale
- Cloth for cleaning ( Tissue will do too )
* New/sharp scissors and blade give nice smooth edges and cutting is easier too. Especially while trimming extra vinyl edges a sharp blade is much much better then an old used one
Caution
The blade that i used or the new razor blades are very sharp and they cut through skin without you knowing until you start seeing blood dripping on your work
Getting Ready

- Remove every thing from the case that can be removed and place them in the case box so u have easy access inside the case and things dnt get scratched for nothing.
- Measure the part with a ruler that you want to apply carbon fiber on.
- Cut the carbon fiber vinyl a lil extra then required like (0.5 inch extra) just to be on the safe side.
- Clean the surface with a cloth/tissue to make sure that there is no dirt so that vinyl gets a good grip on surface.
Applying CF and Final Looks

* Some people use credit cards or PVC cards to smooth out the vinyl i use my thumb. Cards sometimes if pressed hard against the vinyl can damage or ad scratches.
* Take your time and set the initial angle/ place to start applying the vinyl. If start goes well end will be well. ( Take your time, you can take even more then me :D )
* You can also use a hair dryer to help you with uneven surface like the engraved text ( Like the NZXT logo on the reservoir rack ). Heat the vinyl it makes it flexible and then push it with your thumb to settle in.
