looks a very tidy job but personally not a fan of the fake look stuff as it doesn't look shiny like resin coated real carbon fibre

the only carbon fibre on a car should be the real stuff IMO

Personally i'd rather look at that then a bit of generic black plastic though

Then bung a couple of layers of clear coat on it.

Looks great, I suppose getting the diagonals square with the edge is the key part of a good job like yours, I have a vynil cutter and have been sent some of this as samples, you can get it in different colours for the chav look I would suppose.

ya know, this is the second time i've seen sticky backed carbon fibre on the inside of the S2000.
it works well.
i think the thing i like most about it, is it's not shiny like alot of the real CF is (due to the resin), as the sheet is more satin.

i love the look
