Just wondering if anyone has used this stuff before. I have seen a bunch of people on youtube using it on interior and exterior trim pieces and would love to do the same, just wondering if anyone else has tried it and if you have any pictures?

I have used a similar CF wrap. Its not too hard but takes some practice. You will need a hair dryer or heat gun to heat up the material and wrap it around each edge. As you wrap it around curved edges you pull it as much as you can to avoid wrinkles. I also used an x acto knife to cut little lines to allow the wrap more easily around curved edges. Most of these CF wraps allow you to reheat and reposition if needed. Again not hard but can be time consuming.
I have my intake tube and cop covers wrapped the 3M stuff.
Like others have said, heat around corners is your friend. The vinyl looks great too, but it does have it's limitations. Too complex of a part and you're better off with hydro dipping.
Pics!
it looks like shit- as in fake as can be. I've seen it on roofs of cars and it stands out in a bad way
Yeah I thought it would look cool so I bought a 6'x6' roll of it and my brother did a few pieces on the interior of his dd and then I decided against it. I was also going to do the roof on my sister's bmw 335i but decided not to after seeing it on my brothers car. He did a good job but it does look fake as hell.
Anyone have any pics of doing CF wraps?
I've done it, I dig it. Its takes some time, but its gonna make your car stand out.
