My new Carbon Fiber Window panels!!
Well, not really carbon fiber, but i bought some vinyl stickers and put them on...
It took around 2 hours to get all 4 panels done (it takes time to get it perfectly on there)...
But it was well worth it..
But what do y'all think??
Next im gonna cover the WHOLE rear spoiler in carbon fiber... but hopefully it will be easy lol, as it doesnt seem like it would be...

Looks good! Nice and subtle, but it gives a part of the car that rarely gets any attention some detail. I agree that it's pretty hard to line up the weave so that it comes out straight and on point. Best of luck with the rear spoiler.

Make sure you prep the surface REAL clean with rubbing alcohol. Lesser quality kits such as ebay or the one you purchased use a very soft resin epoxy which they promote as "flexible" and also a lower grade adhesive. The edges/corners of these "flexible" resin's tend to peel more easily over time. So surface prep is very important especially around the edges.

I bought a whole role of it for $20 ... (3m quality)... and you need to cut it out bigger than the panel, stick it on there, and cut around it with an exacto knife.
