this. wrap job looks well done.
im not into carbon fiber unless its a hood,trunk,etc but it looks great
not so much in agreement that carbon fiber "looks" good. still think it looks cheap, like an unpainted fiberglass front clip on a hotrod, vw beetle, etc. etc..

I did the same to my interior, going 5spd soon. However I had some bubbling issues when I did mine as in I got bubbles after I put it on, but im going to stretch it better and redo it. I bought a huge piece for about $40 off ebay. Its the 3M Di-Noc Carbon Fiber Vinyl. It comes out pretty nice.

thanks everyone
boostin240- use alot of heat and let it form around the object then strect and hold and cut as long as its heated and stretched u shouldnt have bubbles come up
this wasnt Di-Noc, it didnt have the 3M backing its just a clear backing, but i have used the 3M Di-Noc and it feels and works the same this was just slightly cheaper

i personally like the cf look, some people do too much and it gets weird, some cars just ruin the cf wen its like a messed up flat black civic that falling apart but has a cf hood and the guy thinks its giving more hp (not hatin on civics jus example lol) but if its done right it looks good
but each to his own, we wouldnt have different sc styles if everyone liked the same things
i am thinking a cf hood though cuz mines all jacked up so a cf hood will probably drop weight too (a little not much) cuz our hoods are pretty heavy
