This stuff look better than real cf. I bet if you spray some clear on it it will look even more like real cf. This stuff has dry carbon look. Real cf is way over rated if it's not made for weight reduction. This will look just as stupid as fiberglass overlaid cf.

If done right and no "ripples" or whatever, you think it will still look cheap? Looks pretty good in pictures.
If you were to not see the ends of it or any fuckups, do you think you would be able to tell from pictures that its fake? Or from looking at it from more than 2 inches away?
Just stop the bullshit.

I agree for people who have the cash real cf is great for a top but it will cost over a grand easy. This wrap is so realistic it's amazing. 3m made it textured so it has 3d look and feel. It changes color when you look at it from a different direction like real cf. I will take a vid of it tomorrow.

Well, this stuff is made for automotive use and 3m gurantee it will last something like 3 years outside on a car. This stuff is very safisticated. People use this wrap on most rally cars. Rally cars are rarely painted and mostly always wraped.

I've seen this stuff online before and each time I think it looks fantastic...its got me thinking about what I'd like to do....instead of keeping the stripe on my car...maybe I'll wrap my trunklid/spoiler, mirror, windshield surround, and hood/headlight lids in this stuff to go along with the CF HT which should be headed my way in a few weeks and paint the front bumper, rear bumper, and the finishing panel white to get rid of the stripe on those areas. On the hood I might have to put some of that reflective heat shielding tape on the inside since the hood gets hot and could affect the adhesive. Anyone with good photoshop skills that could do a rendering for me
