The quality would prob not be so good especially if you've touched 3Ms carbon Fiber vinyl. And will prob fade like one of the guys said in the previous comment.

I have bought a lot of 3M carbon fiber vinyl from eBay.

Is this not 3M cf vinyl?

Looks great, how about a DIY ? Or just some tips and tricks of how you did it? Especially the interior.
