Default 3M Carbon Fiber Vinyl

I bought a roll of this stuff to cover some of my personal stuff. I have to say this stuff is amazing. I got left an 1/8 of the roll so I guess I'll sell it by the sq ft. I do have to say is really easy to install. 6.50/sq ft. PM me!

It can be installed on interior trims or even on exterior parts. The best part of this CF Vinyl is that is way cheaper than getting the real deal and it looks good.

Some of the features I found interesting....

* It’s not just a printed pattern, but has a texture to it. This allows it to reflect light in different ways, giving it a similar appearance as real carbon fiber.
* It’s made by 3M, a huge company that puts a ton of money into R&D to develop the best product in the industry.
* It can be used indoors and outdoors. Tons of people are already using it on the outside of their cars to wrap things like their roof or body piece accents.
* Indoor life is 12 years and outdoor life is 4 years.
* It’s water resistant, and can be cleaned with soap and water.
* It has a self-adhesive back with 3M comply adhesive, making installation a breeze.
* It can adhere to a ton of things including wood, MDF, particle board, mortar, steel, aluminum, glass, plastic, and even itself.

And of course some pics

Wow great job on the interior but I'm also interested in temporarily wrapping the hatch in this stuff and clearing it.

You can help protect your 3M CF Vinyl and minimize scratches by applying 3M Tire Restorer. The tire restorer works by adding a thin layer of silicone that acts as a top coat to 3M CF Vinyl without changing the vinyl’s appearance. You shouldn’t confuse this with a clear-coat, which will add a shininess to the material. LMK if this answers your questions
