So found some other stuff just like the 3m cf, but its cheaper because it doesn't have the peel back adhesive and looks exactly like the 3m cf. You have to use 3M Super 77 Spray Adhesive to apply it and neffywrap.com is the place where it comes from. Thinking about ordering a yard of it?
3m carbon fiber wrap...

one thing thats cool with this product is that you can overlap it. its so hard to tell.
Yeah I will. Dang 40sq/ft! I only order 8sq/ft of the 3M it should be in this week.
Yeah I'll be sure too. I just ordered a yard of it, its 55" Wide x 36" Long.

hehe... i just got my 40sq ft roll in the mail today...
i'll probably start covering stuff tomorrow though...
is too lazy right now to think lol
first i'm going to try an cover my extra stock gas cover...
take it to a friend and see if he can clear coat it...
if all goes well... i'll be doing my dg lip, mb side skirts, and the bottom portion of my mb rear bumper... hell if it doesn't take well to clear i'll probably still do it any how
my first impression after opening up the tube the stuff came in... is well... amazing... very real looking... seems soft and easy to work with... reflects light just like real carbon fiber

even if it is kinda rice...
i love it... looks exactly like real carbon fiber and reflects light (changes color) like real carbon fiber... i just did my external hard drive and it's sick... i'm gonna try a few more smaller things to get more practice before i start doing bigger items
it looks way better in person... pictures don't really do it any justice
if using a heat gun... make sure it's on low or you hold it kinda far away... i tried doing my gas cover but had a little too much heat... lol... and kinda melted it a bit... that's why i ended up taking it off the gas cover and using what was not damaged and covering my external hard drive... i believe you only need heat for corners and what not so it stretches over... instead of it crinkling up...
p.s thanks mp3 for the pm... i gotta wait until next week before i can take anything to get clear coated at my friends shop

im a little confused - is this real carbon fiber with a sticky back, is it just printed on vinyl, or is it neither... i.e. a special vinyl blend or woven vinyl so it has a better finish?
for all real CF, and probably this stuff too, you should put a gel coat / UV on it before any clear coat. you absolutely must have it if the material has any epoxy in it.
it does look pretty good.

Nope its not real
What's this Gel Coat you talk of? is it a can I can find at the paint shop or something?
Nah the UV gel coat is the same crap they put on the expensive and cheap carbon fiber hood's and it still fade's or peals after awhile.Just clear coat it all together if you wanted too and if you go that route wax it once in awhile that's all.I clear coated a carbon fiber hood I was working on before and it came out great!

you only use a heat gun to shrink vinyl, dont try to heat and strech because it will probably make the weave look distorted
when i vinyl'ed my hood in matte black i used it in some places to get out small bubbles and it worked really good
but like you said, low setting (750 degrees) and make sure to move the heat gun in a figure 8 aound the spot so u dont heat it too much and melt it
