Hello everyone,
We have a new Carbon Fiber product just launched during the last SEMA show. It's a 19x23-inch Carbon Fiber sheet that comes with a 3M 467MP Hi-performance adhesive backing.
This is a flexible REAL Carbon Fiber sheet made out of 2x2 Twill-weave fabric, with an extremely smooth and bright finish.
This product will allow you to do many DIY projects, to cover plastic trim pieces, dashboard panels and other parts in your car, and give them the look of real carbon fiber. This product can be cut easily with a Xacto knife or scissors, so different designs, logos, words or brands can be drawn on the adhesive backing, then you will just need to cut along the lines to have a custom-made Real Carbon Fiber badge, sign work, sticker, etc... (thumb)
There are various important characteristics to this product :
1) Every time you cut the fabric either with scissors or a knife, the edges stay clean and black. This is due to the flexible nature of the resin, and that's a great thing since you'll never have any little carbon hairs sticking out of the edges...
2) Since this is a Real Carbon Fiber product, there is NO way to stretch it with heat. No way at all !. So if you want to cover a certain piece with a 3-dimensional shape (let's say something in your dashboard) you'll be able to do it as long as the shape isn't too complex, and if the curves you want to cover flow in the same direction (like a pipe or rod).
3) The product is not specified for high temperatures, so please don't use it directly over the valve cover, near the exhaust manifold, the radiator, etc. This product can be used to cover certain parts in the engine bay such as the fuse-box top lid, as long as they're not too close to sources of heat. Please understand the use of carbon fiber sheet sections inside the engine bay will affect its life expectancy anyway. Heat may also affect the 3M adhesive, and after some time the material may peel-off.
4) Currently the Carbon Fiber sheets are only available in 19x23-inch dimensions and standard carbon color. Due to the nature of the manufacturing process, doing bigger sizes it's not as easy as simply cutting the thing in bigger sizes... In the future we are studying to manufacture these Carbon Fiber sheets in Silver finish, and Carbon/Kevlar options.
Now, I'll show you some pictures so you can have a better idea of the product. Please note in the picture where the adhesive backing is peeled-off that the sheet is real carbon. This is not a vinyl look-a-like thing...! It's THE REAL DEAL BABY !!!
Where-to-buy...? at www.carper4mance.com of course !!!
The product is right in the main page.
I forgot to mention : Retail price is only $64.90 !
I'll try to answer questions as often as possible, but please keep in mind we're on the East coast.
Later,
Andrs.
