Has anyone tried using the carbon fiber vinyl?

Is it worth it?
How long does it last till it started messing up?

What would you be putting it on? Because it doesn't look real at all. People will tell right away.

I wouldnt bother with it, especially on exterior parts. it'll get worn fast.
Also it wont look real.

Re: (Honda_ThuGZ)

more recently, my brother came across a very realistic looking carbon fiber "vinyl" that we used for some decals. It was more like the flexi-film type of material rather than a plastic-y type of vinyl. The more commonly found carbon fiber vinyl kinda looks like black and gray checkers whereas this newer type looked like a real cf weave. you ought to inquire with your local sticker guy and have him look into it for you. I don't imagine it would last very long for a daily driver, maybe a few weeks before it starts to peel at the corners.
