Colleens look good but the one with the CF is terrible. If you can't afford real CF don't wrap your car in it.

Whats the difference? So are you also saying that if you cant afford to paint the car dont wrap it matte black? Whats the difference between one type of vinyl over the other? I thought it was just a matter of personal preference...

Fake CF looks horrible when it's just laminate. Matte Laminate doesn't make it look cheap. I agree with isuxel, real CF wrap ftw. I just ordered some samples from rvinyl and other places. All the CF laminates look horrible, they will not be touching my car.

It is a matter of personal pref. But I think we can all agree that a little too much f anything is not good. But matte vinyl is much more subtle than CF...CF should be used moderatley, I only have cf pillars, trunk, and lip. That's it. But again, if you like it then go for it...it your car =)

It's your car, do whatever you like. If others don't like it, shouldn't bother you, as long as you like it. You're driving it, not them.

It is 3m vinyl. CF vinyl only looks appealing when used moderately....a little accent here and there.
